Scramble up to right hand side of vegetated ledge, then scramble left to slab with lots of peeled flakes.
Named in honor of Mr Ousbys massive bruised buttocks obtained from a 8 meter fall on the first attempt at the route. Lovely purple blue and yellow. A fantastic effort by Hamish in establishing this route ground up on sight, placing bolts whilst hanging on for life. Destined to be a mega classic test route. Can be a bit run out in places.
1.55m
Start is a very tenuous slab so it may be best to stick clip the first bolt.
Smear and edge up slab always trending slightly left. Passing 5 bolts to DB belay.
2 40m
Continue up and left of vegetation to steepening buttress above, move diagonally left past bolt then up crack and corner till able to step left to DB belay
3 55m
Climb right over crack to gain slab on steep buttress. Place a cam blindly in crack on left. Get your belayer to confirm that it is placed well.(this will let you know if you are good friends.) Up wards passing 4 bolts and gear till able to pull into cave at end of pitch. Room for 2 to bivy if your belayer proved there friendship earlier!
4 10m
Its all over. (Well sort of )
Out of cave hand traverse left for a few moves. Then up easily on loose shattered blocks.
Bush bash up hill till tourist track is met at right side of organ pipes then down the horror of the tourist track fielding questions all the way back to car
