Bullshit. I was forthcoming, albeit with a vague location, :)

The secret cool crack area @ Black Hill. There are 3 of them -

A finger crack going at about 19....

A chimney tapering to tips going at 21 ish I think....great climb in my opinion...

And then the infamous formerly unclimbed overhanging bum crack off width at what Steve is saying 24.....

Come in the back gate the follow the path to where it joins the other path coming in from the left, walk a few hundred meters and then bush bash left until you reach the first climbable rock....you'll find it.

Glenn Tempest suggested that I try it in hiking boots to protect my ankles....didn't help me, :)
