线路 如同运动攀岩 in Thrustblock Area

The bolted direct of The Mind Boggles remained unclimbed for well over a decade before an Italian snuck in for the sneaky send. Looks thin and blank!

A long shady classic slab/wall on impeccable rock. This is the ringbolted orange face just right of the monster corner of Thrustblock. When everything else at Porters is being hammered by arvo sun this route has blessed shade. Watch your rope length when lowering off and be ready to rethread on the DRB at 25m (and beware several big loose blocks beside/above them, which need to be trundled).

Arete left of Thrustblock, shady all day. Up on small edges on both side of arete to sit down rest. Up a bit more, then left on small holds to finish up wall. (Optionally, bring brackets for 2 old carrots for the start scramble and belay stance, and a stick clip to help negotiate some suspect rock and compulsory hard moves to the 3rd bolt).

1. 25m (25) Start as for Thrustblock, traverse out across left wall to arete. Hard moves on arete then around L and up to DRBB.

2. 25m (22) Follow rings diagonally R to small ledge and DRBB.

3. 20m (20) Up left side of arete to DRBB.
