Neat. Follow West's Wallaby to the middle of its traverse then climb steeply to an improving crack and easier ground. © Rockfax

βeta: This should be the route in the guidebook rather than the VS which goes off into some grotty gully. Up there in quality with other 3 star HVS offerings here. | βeta? | |

βeta: The first half of this route is a bit of an ordeal. After that, going straight up the wall feels great but I wasn't happy with just a cam in the break below. | ||

βeta: This is a superb route - far better than its 'parent' - why only a footnote in the BMC guide ? I found it pretty sustained for the last route of the day but faultless gear. | βeta? | |
