Howdy,

glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Any grade suggestions (i.e. changes) we will consider & modify as required. I've just downgraded Holy Batmania from 19 to 18.

Sorry to hear your rope might have been rubbed up the wrong way on Holy Human Fly. I thought we
had got the length of the chain OK but I'm happy to replace it with longer stuff as it sounds like it might
be just a little short. I would suggest you abseil off (until the chain's replaced) rather than be lowered as this will cause a lot less stress to your rope. If you put draws on the rap chains I'm sure you can get lowered off OK.

Neil suggested popping an independent set of anchors in one of the routes at The Sun Gate
(The 23 up the middle - Conquistador) and that's on the cards FYI.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE NAME OF THIS CLIFF (PREVIOUSLY "THE SUN DECK") HAS BEEN CHANGED TO "WAVE WALL". APOLOGIES FOR THE MIX UP BUT WE (NEIL MONTEITH AND I) BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME CLIFF WRITTEN UP ON PAGE 89 OF THE BILL ANDREWS "NORTHERN GRAMPIANS" GUIDEBOOK. THE ROUTE "OVERBURDEN" IS YET TO BE LOCATED.
(extract from the guide):
Wave Wall: This route lies on the small orange wall which is most readily aproached by skirting the right hand edge of Cave Cliff. This avoids the strangler vine and scrub in the gully (Note there is now a good track which takes you around here by heading LEFT {as you face the cliff} from Cave cliff's main wall)

Overburden 15m 17
This is not a major attraction. Start at the white outcrop of rock at the base of the cliff half way along. Up the weakness veering right near top to easier ground, like the top. FA John Pawson, Wayne Maher 15.04.1989
