7 | 7Swallow, 17 | 17 | 15m | 1 | |||
The original route. This crack starts so wide Dave placed a bolt at the start. Higher up it narrows from #4 to #2 friend size. Don’t choke on the crux where the crack nearly closes off. Take a small friend or large wire for this. Bolted belay on the top of the pillar. |
|||||||
8 | 8Post Funeral Blues, 21 | 21 | 20m | 10 | |||
The proud arête to the right of the Swallow crack is an attractive line. Take a toothbrush to clean the holds. |
|||||||
9 | 9Gulp, 18 | 18 | 20m | 7 | |||
The original line climbed deep inside the chimney, however now the route has been equipped with bolts it is best to climb the chimney right on the outer lip. Exit the chimney at the fourth bolt (crux), swing onto the face and climb the crack and bulge above. |
|||||||
10 | 10Suck It and See, 24 | 24 | 12m | 2 | |||
A stern test of suction. Take wires for the top crack. Bolt belay on the ledge. |

Afterthought, 16 | 16 | 8m | |||||
From the farm gate at the road a perfect hand-crack is visible up the hill about 50m right of Gulp. Belay off numerous small bushes. Walk off. |
