Rockfax Description
The Australia section tackles the wide open base before coming round onto the East Face. Here two tiers of ladders lead up to the Pen Garret Hut.
1) Go through the Tunnel of Love from the California section which exits at the base of Australia under the route Darkness Visible.
2) Scramble across the base and to the left of the Rognon to arrive at the Salt Pans.
3) Head right towards the left side of the East Face of Australia to an iron ladder.
4) Climb this, head right to the next ladder and then up this to the Pen Garret Hut.
To start Snakes and Ladders with this section, follow the approach to The Salt Pans. © Rockfax

βeta: tunnel of love entrance is blocked today, alternative approach into the bottom of california by abbing off a bolt just to the left outside the end of the next tunnel you get to after going uphill toward australia from dali’s hole, at the bottom of the steps that lead down from looning the tube. Abbing off this takes you right to the mouth of the tunnel of love. | βeta? | |

βeta: Avoid the right-hand path out of the Tunnel Of Love, the Slate Serac has recently been discharging frigde and microwaves. This can be visibly seen by the rock scars high up and discoloured boulders at it's base. | βeta? | |
