Sound good Vince,

how would you like to look after Redledge on the ACA site, you can add all the route description and topos. The current info certainly needs to be updated but all of the infrastructure is in place, just check out Mr Wall at Diamond Falls to see what is possible.

we have been climbing at the ledge all year round, im sorry i could'nt tell u which direction it faces.... but in summer the cliff is in total shade, in winter it is in the full sun but the cold conditions allow it to be climbed. sort of similar to bowens creek, the potential there is endless, most of the bolted lines have been bolted by people interested in steeper, generally difficult lines, but the cliff is untouched in places where awesome lines could be uncovered. there is a face just left of the main sector which looks blank from the ground but is covered in many slopes and features which would be climbable at all grades from 20 to 30. there is so much rock!!! be prepared to be scorched out there as it is usually quite hot....strange thing getting sunburned whilst climbing!! it is awesome if any 1 is interested in coming to sink some steel or climb at the ledge please contact me and i will get u out there!! its the future!! (frothing @the mouth!!) im quite excited about this cliff so dont blame me if u think it is a pile!

Yep, thanks for the info Vince. I posted on CragX last year after I stubled across the bolted routes doing my own crag explorations (actually looking for a couple of Bryden's routes from the 60s). I reckon the crag must face west north west.. I'll go out and look at the easy stuff one day.
