those orange walls are awesome rock quality but have 10m of overhanging seeping vegetation underneath the whole lot. in ~1999 I did a sweet 30m corner crack which goes right up the middle of the best orange stuff - quite steep but went at about 16 and still one of my faves. we called it Blistering. It used to be written up on my website until geocities died. the 10m of overhung veg at the bottom make it rap-in only. I'll see if I can dig up some pics.

also did a short little orange corner crack (some nice fingerlocking) on the lower cliffline underneath, hidden in the trees. also 16.

if I was on private land i didn't know, and was too young and dumb to check ... and offer belated apologies! my 2 routes are about half a km right of the lookout (looking out).
