I hope I'm not being too preciousssssss (the nasty Hobbitses etc)
Last time I raised the notion of putting a bolt (or 2) in an old established route I was howled down. Anyhoo, I'll give it another go.
My partner and I did Gollum yesterday and I'd have to say that I have rarely seen anyone on it over the last 30 odd years I've been climbing at Arapiles.
I reckon a bolt on the traverse of the first pitch and one at the crux of the second would transform this into a very popular climb. When I see the number of people on Watchtower Crack, Skink and Auto De Fe, Gollum appears to be an outcast.
btw the top is very mossy too, which detracts from the experience |
