The HEX 23-Jan-2006 11:24:10 PM	------------------------ >Tasman Peninsula '...The Swell Repeller 55m 24 [sport] Two pitches of stunning arêtes and all bolts. A great bad weather option when the Tote is being hammered by the swell. Fix a 60m rope to double rings as for the Totem Pole descent but rap diagonally towards the ocean (south east) heading down a scungy corner to a ledge. Continue rapping down wall below to arrive at double FHs on small ledge just left of knife blade arête about 5m above the ocean. Pitch One 40m 24 – Climb amazing sustained arête past 10 FHs that get fairly spaced as you get higher. Belay at vegetated ledge at DBB. Pitch Two 15m 20 – Up thin crack splitting arête above with great exposure to small ledge. Sling tooth with large sling and climb easily to top. Belay off the Tote’s rap rings.
