2 pitches. 5a,5b. The top pitch starts strenuously up a little capped corner to a resting ledge and dubious peg. A neat little sequence of moves left lead to the base of a shallow groove and hand crack. Arrange good gear here and commit to the bulge above.

Nice first climb for the day. I was spooked by a bird flying out of a crack a good 3 or 4 metres above my last gear. This kept the feeling of boldness. A nice climb. Some Hawthorne nonsense on the first pitch.

Stefan Kruger - 2nd rpt - 29/Aug/05 with Sarah Porter

Nice and steady, and not at all bold and loose, as suggested by the guide book writeup.
