Is the new mystery Cathedrals crag worth the hype?

Many years ago we checked out what is now called Blue Haze Peak but were daunted by the vast amount of moss. After the 2009 fires the place is as clean as a whistle. We have recently been doing a few new things up on the South Jawbone (again now very clean) and walk past Blue Haze Peak each time. I haven't done anything on it but the routes do look pretty enjoyable. There appears to be a good range of grades, mainly slabby, and as I said, are now very clean. The slab is about 50m high with some bolts on the more difficult routes. The guys who developed the place (Tyrone Andrew and Mike Bukraba) must have worn out a few wire brushes before the fires. It's still a mighty walk up but at least it is almost all on a good foot trail with no bush bashing. Time will tell if the routes are worth the walk.
