The down grade is personal due to the fact it seems most people and myself stay right of the bolts for most of the climb. It feels pretty contrived otherwise. The old bolts need replacing.

Well that was a surprise. Two goes today, first go finally worked out short persons way to do crux, then dave dislodged the key hold on his attempt. Still hadn’t got through the low bulge clean. Second go I dynoed the low bulge then somehow kept going and found myself through crux without a lot of recollection of the top, but I had identified two good resting stances so gunned for them. Shame it’s going to rain for the rest of our time in Tasmania, didn’t think I had a lead shot in me today.

Just the top pitch, would get very good with a couple more bolts, the run out on the slabs is stupid, but maybe if you can do the 26 onsight it’s ok. Was further around than we thought, took a while to find, but the faded cloth around a tree across the track to denote the turn off is still there
