Tassie Blitz Part 2: The Moai, The Candlestick 5-May-2015 At 2:59:31 PM Jacques Shurmer

Great TR, met you out there I guess on the night you arrived to fortescue campsite.

Just a side note:
The original route (16) does not have a bolted tyrolean at the base of the candlestick, however there is a feature that can be used to naturally wrap secure off.

We used a 60m single rap rope down to the water and carried a 25m static for the tyrolean (just long enough to make it across). Carrying the tail of the 25m on the 60m up the original route is pretty horrible. As you're climbing inside a damp, chossy chimney, the rope has a lot of drag coming out and around the chimney system and its difficult to know whether it is free from snags etc.

It was a great choice for your experience to climb the 18/ 19 route, it appeared to be much nicer because it gets the sun for most of the day

We were lucky to have people to support us on the main cliff side which made rigging the tyrolean much less complicated as I dreaded that tyrolean with a 10-15m fall.
