130m, 4 pitches.
See Blue Mountains Guidebook for details of 4 abseils required to access this route.
Belayer for pitch one should anchor to a tree- first moves are tricky and consequences of a fall are high as this route starts on a ledge.
Pitch 1 (19) technical and varied moves up an arête lead to a mantle and juggy holds up to the anchor. All u bolts, runout at times.
Pitch 2 (19) face climbing on crimps that thin out just for a move or two. Steep moves to the anchor. There is a warning in the guidebook about funnel web spiders on this pitch, which are deadly!
Pitch 3 (17) jug hauling on sharp, jutting ironstone. Don’t fall or take double ropes as these great holds could sever your rope.
Pitch 4 (14) up chimney and then slopey, sandy face.
