Nice one, Simon. A few things I'd add after having been up the ridge a couple of times myself. Firstly, you can do some harder alternative pitches more to the right of where the standard route goes, adding a bit of spice. Secondly, when rapping the sections of the gully where it's needed it's best to use a single rope. This is what we did the first time but the second time we thought it'd be quicker to do longer raps. Big mistake as with all the trees in the gully the rope got hung up really badly. Next, it's almost worth waiting for a really fine day to do the route just for the fabulous views over to Cradle Mtn and Barn Bluff. Lastly, there is great, free camping a few minutes' drive from Rysavy Ridge at O’Neills Forest Park.
