★★★ East Buttress
About 12 single rope Rapels Description is for climber facing the cliff Locate the rap anchor a few meters to the left Rap diagonally to the left towards a distinct triangular block, NOT steight down The next anchor is to the left hand side Rap towards the groove with the tree Do not pass the tree stop 3-4meters before. Look left it's not super obvious but that's where the next Rap anchor is Take care with the rope on this rap that it doesn't get caught on the trees 20m or so below. Flake it on yourself /harness. From this point on the raps are straight forward down the face. Easy to locate, even with a headtorch if you are rappeling in the dark. Apart from maybe rap 8 or 9 where the face becomes less slabby. The Rap is a little bit more to the left Very good Route! Heaps of chossy rock to look out for though Made me feal a bit that I was climbing in the mountains... We linked 3-4 easy And 7-8 in a mega 70m long pitch I would suggest not linking 1 with 2 The start of 2 can be a bit commiting, Nicer to have the belayer next to you, to stop you for decking We aided the bolted pitch Could have been fun to try climb it, but not fun if we wasted that time and got caught out in the dark for the last couple of pitches Especially when you need to do 12Raps to get out Rumor has it to better Rap than do the walk off.. |
