Voies glaciaire dans New South Wales and ACT

In winter an ice smear develops down the general area of Tapdance/All Purpose Monkey which can touchdown in Glissade Gully. Though the bottom ice is thin and variable, it is also climbable at about M7 mixed. The ice quickly improves and the middle and top sections can be thick enough to take even medium length screws.

Belay off good wires and/or stakes before soloing off up final short snow slope. Top rope or inspection of ice conditions is recommended

A left leaning ice line just left of the easier access coulioir

Main ice flow on lower left, various options. Will sometimes stay in condition longer than the Steppes due to aspect.

Low angled ramp to the left of the Triple Step, with a short steep section.

Left side of main ice. Sometimes a bit wetter as it catches a bit more sun then the rest ...

Central section of main ice.

Right face of main ice section

Shallow chimney on right side of main ice area. Can be a bit ‘turfy’ at the top and a bit wet late in the season.

Steepish snow/ice gully at left of crag.

As for Mrs Mac’s Crack but reach around right to avoid the crack finish.

Up the left side of the prominent buttress, sticking to the harder ice/snow. traverse across the top of the butress on the tiny shoulder and up the headwall past poor pro.

Bring snowstakes, nuts a few cams and maybe a selection of pitons.
