Thanks for all the advice, I will be back in there at the end of september, the rebelays sounds like the go, as I am going to set it up for bolted belays anyway. I will be dragging in a fair bit of help, ( if only to get my fat arse hauled up the overhanging first third of the face). As for the location, I will post photos after the first weekend I get back there, It is fairly remote and I wouldnt want to send people that far into the bush if it turns out to be a heap of crap, I hiked into the bottom before winter to check out the main face which looked ok, overhanging to start with then vertical wall to the top with a fairly decent roof near the top. The vertical section seems to have a crack sytem linkable to the roof then it splits, one around and one directly through the roof.
It sounds good but could be absolute rubbish. As for having an "epic", for some reason that seems to happen every time I touch rock. Lightning, storms, falcons , snowfall , darkness, dropped gear are all pretty normal for me, so this should be no different.
