βeta: This is an excellent climb but spoiled a bit by the crux pitch which is a walk and a simple scramble sandwiching a short very hard crux (15? 16? - very similar to Brolga). But with the right small cam you can protect (or even aid!) the crux move. There are several bolts (not carrots) on this route including a bolt belay, none of which is strictly necessary in my view. | βeta? | |
