Old Shandy - Blue Mountains Helmet Cam 22-Apr-2012 At 6:07:25 PM Gluey

It was 4 abseils down with a couple of traverses to get to the start of what is "Shandy" (My apologies for the misnaming, will change thread title). It is within the Blue Mountains guide on Pg. 48. There was some discussion about the abseil in THIS THREAD a while ago (spurring us to go and check it out).

Oddly, after checking the description in the guide, it was I think only about 28m for the First pitch to a small ledge to belay, then about 15 to a corner belay station then a bit of a scramble over a ledge. I'll have to go back and check.

I know Adrian ("Batey") was keen to do a Trip Report so he may be able to give a little more information about it then I, but I thought this video may shed a little light and create a bit of interest.

Edit: Pat, we used a single rope on the decent and used double on the way up (I thought it was unnecessary but Adrian was keen to give his new rope a whirl)
