[Cradle Rock Buttress Main Face, 4 kb]33m. Climbs the left side of the main wall gaining it by a 3m rightwards traverse. Climb a crack to broken ledges and then the steeper crack leading up left. At its top trend diagonally right until almost at the ledge with loose boulders. Now strike out leftwards for 5m to the top of the crag. The finish is a diabolical pull up through 60 degree shrubbery (E1?). Fight your way through thorn bushes to belay to a rock bluff 15m up the slope. Adventurous enough?

A bit of an epic for the top out , creating a path through 4ft high thorn bushes and belaying in a swarm of bees. Pedro pulled a big block off and a seal turned up to watch the fun.

Fantastic climbing, in hindsight. Abbed down with no jacket, wind picked up, wearing rope back as wind breaker after 20 mins. Do not trust "solid looking stuff", boulder about 600mm dia came lose, would have killed any one below, helmet or not. Top out was heroic by Pete. He even had the bloody knees to prove it.
