Integral Crack at Booroomba, is a solid lead at 19 (50m high), with a delicate crux and balancy climbing allthe way up. There is a legend of local hardman Tony Barten soloing the route, stopping within 3m of the top and freezing, screaming for a toprope, but by the time people had scampered to the cliff top he had regathered compusre and completed the solo. Knowing the route, and having taken a big whipper on it as a youngster, I can only stand back in awe at that acheivement
There is a 16 at South Central (Nowra) that is more like 21. |
