Nodi in Mt Benstead Creek

Central Australia's biggest limestone crag.

Grey, slightly overhanging wall just off the river before the main cliff.

Situated on Lower Benstead, before you get to the main cliff. Start about 10m R of giant fig tree. Good, steep face climbing up 5 BR's to chain

Access is an issue

Largest limestone cliff in central Australia

Takes the line of least resistance up the main cliff, taking wall R of the major cave up on the left. Upon approach, walk up the L side of the cliff until you climb up a small step. A large diagonal crack leads up to the R takes good natural gear, take a few cams of all sizes.

1. 25m 21. Steep start eases to nice climbing up line. Strenuous moves lead past small hanging corner (#1 friend) to a good jug, then continue up left to DBB (25m abseil from here).

2. 25m 22. Traverse 5m R to gain diagonal crack (crux). Up this till it ends, then straight up (poor pro) to the slab above . Traverse L to 45m rap from rings to the ground.

A fantastic line, and amazing climbing in a proud position. Start on the far R of main cliff. Climb short wall (FH) to cave and bolt (requires bracket) then L and up (take #9 wire to better protect moves to the next FH). Up to horizontal, then L and nice climbing up line to double diagonal cracks - (lower off possible here 25m, 25). Into corner and up (crux) to another diagonal crack. Up on pockets, traverse along L leading diagonal, then straight up past another FH to finish at chain on huge block. Possible to lower to shackles with a 60m rope.
