Limit. de l'accès hérité de West Cape Howe

The 4WD track can vary greatly in condition. A shovel may be needed to fill in some of those holes!

Éthique hérité de West Cape Howe

There is no established ethic. The usual WA ethics towards bolting apply, and all bolts should be placed with careful consideration, and definitely not used to replace natural pro.

Abseil off bolts on top of Supergroove. 60m rope will get you down groove a fairway where it is possible to scramble down 10m to large ledge. Otherwise, do a double abseil. Fist pitch: Climb up vertical weaknesses on right side of arete to a small roof. Climb left of roof, then out left to double bolt belay (needs hangers) on a small triangular ledge. Second pitch: Keep right of arete.

As for Orion but start directly below blunt arete in front of headwall at the base of climb on platform. Take direct line straight up the wall and continue on as for Orion to 1st belay

Starts down near Jump for Joy and Tripping Upstairs. Can be reached from the chains on the ledge where BM starts with an extra 15m or so of static or alternatively use your lead rope. An excellent varied line. Climb the superb face on the clean west facing wall on edges and flakes past the horizontal cracks until a couple of metres below the roof. Traverse right and step over the void at the layback crack. Up this, then onto the arête and face on good holds to the top.

Gnarly hand crack up the bulging west wall. Easy to spot. Watch out for killer swallows and bird shit.

Nice climbing and great rock on the north facing wall with the obvious diagonal crack, (below Body Builder). You can get to the start by abseiling from the top of WOB (north side of gully) then trending south to a directional bolt (american hanger) and down to the chains on the spacious ledge. Step across the crevasse onto the middle of the wall and a bolt. Head up and slightly left past another two bolts toward the diagonal crack, along this then straight through the overlap past two more bolts to finish at the DBB (Hangers required). Take small to medium cams. J. O Herlihy, K Hartley. Feb 12.

Located on the south facing wall of the huge block at the top of First Route Gully. Approach by abseil from the two bolts at the top (hangers required).

Just right of The Truth is a great steep face climb that ends at the same lower-off. We top roped it the day we bolted it but never got back to tick it. It takes some small cams and has three bolts (hangers required) Go get it!

Sustained climbing up the obvious steep north facing wall and arête of the huge block. Approach via a short abseil from the two hex bolts above the wide corner crack.. Pre-place the first draw and clip your lead rope to it on abseil.(Really needs to be rebolted!) Up the offwidth to the large horizontal break. Traverse right to the undercling, then up to a good edge near the second bolt. Continue traversing right (crux) then head up the face trending right to the arête and get a bit of a rest. Continue up the face and arête passing a couple more bolts to the victory jug. 6 bolts (hangers required, sorry!) K. Hartley, Feb 12.
