Located on

The Grievance Tree is an open project located on the wall 60 metres to the right down past the main 'Split Persona Wall'. Climb on gear through the obvious crack to reach the first bolt at the base of a steep, extremely thin crack. Clip the bolt, and commit to a hard and dynamic boulder problem to the left on small holds to reach the next bolt and a rest. Follow the line of bolts to the top of the crag following large spaced holds through the steeper ground. The route may need a clean if attempting as it would not have been climbed for a few years. A direct start is possible, but would be a grade more than likely harder than 35 if it is possible.

I couldn't give the route a specific grade. However, the crux move through the spaced holds is definitely a V9-11 graded problem in itself, if not harder. When I eventually arrive back from overseas I plan to straighten the line and bolt the lower of the section of the route to create a more pure line.

If trad is more your thing, there is an alternate route continuing straight up the extremely thin crack for 2 - 3 metres, taking 00-0.3 cams until a fist jam rest. Also an extremely tough line.

The Grievance Tree, open project. Located on the wall 60 metres to the right and down past the main 'Split Persona Wall'. Climb on gear through cracks to reach the first bolt at the base of a steep, extremely thin crack. Clip the bolt, and commit to a hard and dynamic boulder problem on small holds. Finish up the route on spaced big holds through the overhang. Couldn't give it a grade. The boulder problem in the middle of the line is potentially V7+
