★ Solitude 21 R

Not quite as good as the other routes on this wall. Start beneath the bolt five metres left of 'Astradyne'.

1. 35 metres - Climb up past the bolt (crux) to the 'Zog' traverse and then up the left-hand side of an obvious brown scoop to a horizontal break (bolt). Up past another bolt then continue to belay at a spike 3 metres right of the obvious ledge.

2. 25 metres - Climb the dark brown streak till a dyke is reached, trend right up this to a belay.

3. 30 metres - Up anywhere to finish.

The ethic at Booroomba is generally staunchly traditional. Most climbing goes either entirely on gear or gear with bolts for those walls where there is insufficient gear to protect climbs. Climbs are occasionally rebolted, but retro-bolting would be considered vandalism of the lowest order.
