Speigals Overhang [North Jawbones, Cathedral Range 13-Jan-2011 At 12:40:01 PM angusmcmahon

Hey All,

Went for a quick climb on Speigal's last Saturday, went well.

The walk up to the saddle is being redone at the moment, the track is apparently closed, although the guys working on the track seem to be fairly cool with people walking through.

Pay special attention as you reach the turn off point to goto the north, as it has changed a bit after the fires and track maintenance. We overshot and ended up having to contour across from just below the saddle. It was super prickly in shorts and thongs.

The undergrowth has taken off post fire, the walk across the base of north jawbone is a little more dense and less defined, I'm sure that will change in time.

The climb itself is clean, there was a bit of cut tape just above first pitch; I reset my line to go treasure hunting and was disappointed.

About 10m below the main overhang, there seemed to be a large loose piece of rock. I reckon a decent fall on it would pull it out onto 2nd belay.

Jungle was looking good... might have a crack at that once this rain stops.

Angus
