Paul Daniels death leading the first pitch in 1962 put quite a few people off the climb, ideed the whole of the Wolgan. Andrew Penney's guide actually gives the climb quite a good write up. I think Hayden Brotchie may had repeated Walhalla, but then again he is often actracted by big chossy lines (such as Landside Chimney, Dog Face)
Despite encouragement by the late Wade Stevens I declined to lead the Chimney/corner Supernovae at Exploding Galaxies. This was because rather a large piece of the first rock I touched on the climb came away in my hands. I have heard of a few ascents of Dihorrea Chimney, despite it's sandy reputation.

Anyway, good luck, although there are plenty of climbs at the Wolgan I'd look at (or ideed, have looked at) first.
