The Phoenix at Megalong Valley 30-Apr-2011 At 8:00:16 PM PThomson

Thanks heaps for the suggestions, everyone. Clockwork Orange is right up there on my "must do" list, and I'll check out the other suggestions made -I'm intrigued about the cracks next to Bladderhosen wall-.

Julian, the elaborated directions are much appreciated. Though I don't think Phoenix probably gets that many ascents anymore, you should be pleased to know that there are a few advocates of it as a "must do" crack climb. Ben Lane -who I climb with from time to time- has urged me on numerous occasions that for any prospective crack climber it's an awesome (and long) battle, especially for the grade. Having said that, his advice is to climb Firefly (18, 8m) next to The Phoenix, and traverse across at the anchors. As such, that was my plan also.

Now we just need the rain to let up for a few weekends... =P
