CAWA Mini guide / forum best description for access.

Follow tourist track to top of devils slide to tourist summit. Walk West towards climbers summit, towards a large cairn. Keep going then descend down the North Eastern Ridge line (On your left) close to the rock in thick shrub. Shrub is overgrown but not too bad considering. There is a kangaroo track where you enter to descend intitially, it does run out. Bash through this for approximately 15 minutes/150m to base of loofah, Bolt line is very obvious once found. Don't walk too low, it was a bit higher than we initially thought.

The climb Itself is varied and enjoyable, rock quality is great. Pitch 1 a Nice warmup, Pitch 2 delicate with some lovely moves, Pitch 3 throwing in some great variation that I didn't expect in the Porongorups. Pitch 4 essentially a scramble off the top, options for medium Cam or wire if you like. Grade probably appropriate for a few of the crux moves however dont let that turn you away if you are concerned as the bolting is fantastic - probably some of the better bolting in the area.

3 Trad lead by Zac Mcswiney

Nice crack climbing up to final crux move. Good belay. Easy walk off.

Trad 54m Mega Classic
Follow climbers trail further than you think you need to go, past the 2 sport lines located on the right then it’s about another 5 minutes to bottom of route. Very obvious.

Take all size cams up to 2, multiples of mediums helpful. Ledge at pitch 2 exposed, pitch 3 well protected really nice climbing.
