Really nice route. Only had a few offset nuts so would have enjoyed a full rack of nuts. Didn't use a #4 and all seemed well protectable.

Used a #0.5 and #0.75 together at the break. Went more smoothly than I expected with good crimpers and pockets

Perfect at the grade. Just enough spice on crimps. Used a #1 and #0.75 cam above the first bolt. Need to take a few bolts plates also

17 ★★ Bumflute Mixed trad 30m, 7 Blue Mountains Average Fri 15th Apr 2022
A cam or two above the first bolt, then another one later on would help reduce the runout. Bring a few bolt plates. Not the nicest route around

16 ★ Penguin Pete Mixed trad 20m, 3 Blue Mountains Average Sat 27th Apr 2024
Wouldn't be keen to repeat. Not much pro apart from 3 bolts. 2 pockets for a #0.5 above the first bolt and a #1 well above the third bolt - after an exciting move or two. Couldn't find anything else

16 ★★ The Iliad Trad 87m Blue Mountains Average Sat 14th Jan 2023
Led P1 and P4. P1 was actually not bad even with a few bushes. Start of P2 was highly risky on lead as the flake is flexing a lot and can't hold a wire. Punchy start and awful blocks to land on. Rusty piton and #0.5 in a pocket further left in the roof is the only pro. P3 start was quite punchy and hard to place gear but it worked (#0.3, #0.4 and #0.75). P4 was awkward in a way but not too bad.

I would say the grade is a little higher given the 2 cruxes and the level of risk. Some blocks/holds are not easy to trust.

Challenging climbing. Beta not difficult but avoiding rope drag and potential ground/ledge fall in the travese was the main obstacle. Nice flake at the top for hand jams and small cams

Wasn't able to cleanly second as I needed to unstuck 3 nuts and a cam. Mostly ok, but very tricky getting into the larger crack due to the width being just slightly larger than fist size.

13 R ★★ Margarine Ridge Trad 380m Blue Mountains Crap Sat 6th May 2023
Approach is long and particularly strenuous on the loose scree heading off the canyon track to the base of the climb. We didn’t descend far enough and traversed into the top of pitch 2.

Pitches 3 to 7 are quite good. Some run out sections but climbing was quite nice. Rope drag tends to be the main struggle with long pitches even using double ropes.

Quite disappointing that pitches 8 to 10 are much worse for climbing style, rock quality and gear placements. Pitch 8 was terrifying as we ended up putting all our lives in the hands of the thread belay. Rope drag caused a big problem and delayed the process - leading to pitches 9 and 10 being done after sundown. These involved a lot of dirt thrutching.

I led pitches 3a, 5 and 8.

Left carpark at 8:30am, returned at 6:00pm.

It appeared as though there is an escape from the top of pitch 4 back to the scree slope.

Should be graded slightly higher and with an X rating as there were some moments where a fall would have been extremely serious.

Compared to Tom Thumb this has a much harder approach and the climbing is nowhere near as good.
