Updated beta description.
Closed Project since at least 2020. Crack to butress 15m left of TCF handline. Single rack from #4 down. No wires. Two ringbolts visible on this from below. Does not look like grade 12.
Predominantly bolted route (no brackets required) but long pitches require a bit of gear too. Rap from big gumtree growing 15 meters before the dead casuarina on main ledge (Purkinje Arette belay). Rap directly down slope 15m to top anchor. Then 2 35 mtr rappels (f.a used 80mtr rope, unsure if 70 makes it). Of course you can walk to base via either of the established rap points at either end of crag, but this works well.
Gear 12 short draws, four alpine draws. Single rack up to #4, no wires, no micros. Double cams in #1, #2, #3
1. 35mtr 18 Up crack (f.a had gloves), past home made hanger/dynabolt and continue up corner, veering right when appropriate.
2. 35mtr 20 Pull on first bolt if you like (f.a didnt but much nicer!) then up. A single rack will suffice though maybe 2x #2 would be good.
Exit via u bolt on right toward casuarina so your not pulling rope up slope above.
Not the worst route. A little wolganesque adventure.
