Margarine ridge 20-Dec-2010 At 12:46:56 PM aarond

So i did Margarine Ridge the other day, was a bit of an epic... the 20m walks through bush add alot of time between each pitch on the final 6 pitches i think it was, but made it back safely to the car at 22:00

On the 8th pitch belay, there's notes about the very bad belay in the cave with a bad thread etc etc. anyway i was sitting in the cave and noticed just as the sun was setting that there was a ray of light that went through a hole, showing the way to a bomber thread. So you needs 100+cm long sling and a dyneema one would help as its only a small hole, and maybe a poking stick.

reach deep inside to the back right hand corner of the cave (facing in) and you may get lucky and find it. pretty much turns the most dangerous part of the climb to the safest part of the climb.
