★ Tachyon 14

A pleasant first pitch, then a wandering adventure. Start at the right-facing corner crack on the left edge of the main slabs.

1. 24m - Layback the easy pleasant corner crack to a semi hanging belay on a sloping ledge in a dihedral (second belay on Sunstroke).

2. 43m - Traverses a line around the same height as the belay then turns a corner. Diagonally right from belay following vegetated crack, staying well underneath blocks. Climb the left edge of the slab to the overlap (second belay on 'Bird of Prey') then continue traversing right under the overlap. Turn the corner and easily up vegetated slab, belay at tree (second belay on Equilibrium).

3. 35 metres - Climb the corner in the overlap (about 4m left of the belay) to the higher slab. Climb diagonally left to the second belay on Ephemeros.

4. 10m - Finish up the last pitch of Ephemeros: climb the wall, moving diagonally right to the bushes, then on to another ledge to boulder-wrap belay.

The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
