The topo in the guidebook is wrong I think, as it shows the variation to the 2nd pitch on the left rather than the right. For the original (17) 2nd pitch, angle left off the first belay. Either that or I got mixed up with the new route.

The guidebook is in fact correct. The original Carson, Hamilton, Judge line goes rightwards from the first belay before curving back left to the second belay. Carr, Shamansky and Mark took the direct line.

Yes - a two pitch route exists between Aftershock and Centrefire. 'Art for Aats Sake'. Put up by Steve Carr and Simon Kennedy.

Top half of pitch 3 has big loose blocks, not fun to climb over!

There's 2 more bolts+another belay between this and centrefire. Maybe a centrefire variation? About 21.

This is the first pitch of 'Art for Aats Sake'. First pitch is 21 then a second pitch of 22 to the top of the 'Centrefire' crack.
