Hey Simon... im down Tassie until April... Now in my 4th month (Including last year) of climbing down here... I love the place! Ticked Passchendale yesterday!

You guys went right of the bolt? That's interesting. All the chalk on the route went to the top of the double flake, then about 2m right up the stemming corner. Going direct (leftish of the bolt) was the individual move I thought was 25. The reason that the absense of an extra bolt surprised me, was because it was the only time on that whole route where you dealt with a runout (especially with a somewhat painful fall) where it WAS runout without an option of trad protection. But hey, thats just my opinion.

I didn't pre-inspect the route on the way down, as I wanted the true onsight (aaaand failed). I enjoyed the route regardless.

Regards,

-Paul
