Thanks for the info guys.

>Both the route description on thecrag and on SydneyClimbing.com say continue up PWCB or carefully walk off to the right. That would make me think that there aren't (bolted) anchors and that you could walk (carefully) to the top from the right.

:-)

Yeah that's how I read it too, was just checking how easy the escape was and if I can easily access it from above, so that I can solo TR it. Happy to build a trad anchor if needed.

>Did you mean is there a possibility of building a trad anchor there and what gear would you need?

>I'm sure I've top roped it - so there must be appropriate anchors. I love Tchaikovsky & Professor Wigginsworth loads of fun. All very run out. Wild Gravity is gnarly crimping.

>It's a pretty easy scramble up the gully to the right.
That's good to know.

>Beware of ticks.
Yeah, know what you mean...

It's my local so I've been up there quite a lot lately, mostly having a crack at Pulse of fools. It's a bloody great little route I reckon, but I'm still struggling with the last couple of meters of it. This is a great route to set up a solo TR on. But I was looking for other options up there too (I already did Ikon, Benign, Mescalito, Abseil Wall, Mode) on lead and on solo TR. And looking at Wild Gravity on Sunday, it looked a nice line from the bottom of the cliff.
