Interesting & enjoyable route. The angle of the boulder has the ironstone ledges just off vertical instead of horizontal. Maybe a 15 or 16?

Led P1 & 3. Mel led P2 & 4, P2 certainly the hardest.
Had to walk-in as the top is closed for bush fire regeneration, missed the cliff-line track & bush bashed for 1 hour, Mel not happy, & worse, she got bitten by a leech, oops! Small landslide above P3 anchor which buried the bolts, but I managed to excavate & clear the worst of it. |

Quirky & interesting slab, I enjoyed this more than Envirovandal. Maybe a grade 16 to E's 15? The angle of the boulder has the ironstone ledges just off vertical instead of horizontal.

Led P2, Mel P1. Nice climb, sure P2 is a little chossy but worth doing once.

8 pitches of climbing, what's not to like? Although, given the hype and traffic, I was probably expecting a more direct line and higher quality climbing down low, quality upper half on the headwall.

Morning shade, nice belay ledge. Milarepa is a better finish.

Used #5 cam in Frolic just to reach the 1st bolt! Pretty easy juggy climbing from then on.

Good climb, not too much rope drag considering you do a corkscrew ;o)

A bit sandy, but nice enough climb. Even though it's the "escape" route from the bottom cliff, I think it's worth a climb in its own right.

Jugs down low, didn't realise the route is overhung till being lowered-off and landing 1m out from the cliff.

Led P1, Mel P2. Supposed to be a warm-up, but lightening across the Megalong Valley swiftly moving towards us encouraged us to go eat pies in Blackheath instead.
I thought the pitches were more equal grading than 15 & 12? |

Helmet essential for belayer, heaps of loose rocks on shale ledge. Climbed out with full pack, not grade 15, more like 10 or 11.

Easier than it looks from below. The crux is up to 3rd bolt and traverse to unnerving loose large block/flake above. Being lowered from the top would involve plenty of rope grinding, so brought 2nd up and abseiled.

There is a grade 11 or 12 climb here, but not following the line of bolts. From the 2nd clip move left and climb the rest of the route 2m left of the bolt line. Not advised as a top-rope, any fall means a fair swing.

Fine to set a top-rope for beginners. Start on the poor tree ;o)

Good top-rope for beginners. Although no other decent options close-by so only useful for small group.
