Ascensions de Flamingo

Fell on second pitch in layback handed lead over

Another slight disappointment.

The second pitch of this climb is really good! 3-stars though? I would say, no. I compare the pitch to Blimp down in the grampians and it is not as good as that. Pitches 1 and 3 are somewhere between forgettable and bad. I would probably drop the whole route down to 1 star, but the selection of good trad corners in Blue Mountains is lacking so I'll leave it with 2.

Absolute classic. One of the best routes in the Wolgan

too freaked from cymbeline experience, pete led both pitches

Desperate start (21) with crap gear, Classic middle 40m. Crap last pitch. Got rained on from 1st belay so was a bit scary sliding on that slippy ironstone at top- lucky ther's bomber jams. Take a full rack and more! #5 cam may help on wide section to make it less scary.
