The route is a grade 22 direct finich to CC. Was originally attempted OS without bolts with a resultant 30m plus fall leaving the leader well south of the belayer. Somehow injuries were minimal and everyone walked out to fight another day. The lads returned, put in 4 bolts and did the business. Have seconded the route... dont recall it being any more loose than the rest of this part of the world (and any loose block would be well smaller than the caravan perched over the original traverse line!)... but be warned, it is a still a very spacey pitch with big (10m+) falls definitely possible. Good though.

Hope everyone enjoys easter... beautiful up there!
