New route - Charity Buttress - Mercy 16m, grade 15 with bolt runner.

Is this the first bolt on Charity Buttress?

Do you have a route description?

Where's it fit on the cliff?

I think there's a description in the latest Argus but I haven't got around to putting it in ACA yet. I haven't been up there so have no idea what it's like but Noddy seemed pretty keen on it. Keen enough to drill it by hand (12x70 mm flush-head dynabolt) so that could be some sort of milestone (first hand-placed bolt at Arapiles in ? years).

Thanks found it. Sounds like it runs between Charity and GPS to the overlap, then right and up (BR)?

I've never really bothered with the Charity buttress so I don't have any mental picture of it (and this route probably won't get me interested in it).

and if it is, does it matter? as some would say it needs more!

i think you just continue up the slab from the bolt slightly moving right,its between both of those climbs:)
