The East Face of Crookneck (17 allegedly) in the Glasshouse Mts used to have a rather exciting pillar that moved out about 6 inches when you cranked to get on top of it... all your gear that was behind it then dropped out as the pillar expanded... very interesting. I ended up doing a very concerned and nifty little layback to get on top of it. I believe that someone (Dick Henderson?? appologies if I am wrong) went up and levered it off in the interest of 'safety'... bloody do-gooder! Next pitch Dags Holloway got off route when the crack got unpleasant (ie off width) and pulled a block off the face onto Moi from about 20 metres above us. Good day to look back on when you consider that we all survived.
