2 new routes out at Perry's Lookdown. 7 minutes walk in. Rap in/ climb out affair, or the worst walk out in the Blueys if your partner stops going up (ask Zac!).
Access : As for Date with Density, but continue past rope along ledge to a rope-protected muddy step-across. 10 metres past this use in-situ rope to hand-over-hand down thru blade grass (steep) to little flat area. Rap off obvious tree, or extend rap point to cliff edge.

SLIPSTREAM 115m 23

Rap 1 : 30m to ledge and DUB (Double U-Bolt Belay)
Rap 2 : 30m to DUB on Arete
Rap 3 : 15m swing right (looking in) to DUB below rooflet
Rap 4 : 50m to monster ledge

Pitch 1 : 50m 23 Corner then some of the best face climbing in the mountains. About 15 U-bolts.
Pitch 2 : 45m 22 turn exposed rooflet then out to arete past DUB and up to DUB at back of cave. 10 U-bolts
Pitch 3 : 20m 23 Blast thru roof and up right side of arete. 6 U-bolts

WALK THE CHALK 63m 26/7

Access : Walk 30m to the left (looking out) on monster ledge to DUB at top of arete.30m rap to DUB then 35m rap to ground. U-Bolts and gear

Pitch 1 : 33m 23 Up left-facing corner (gear large wires and cams to camalot#2) for 15m. hand traverse along ledge to u-bolt, then diagonally left to arete and up to DUB. 7 u-bolts and gear
Pitch 2 : 30m 26/7 Up stunning arete. 8 u-bolts. Put a long sling (1m) on the 2nd bolt when rapping the route so you can get out if you can't pull the moves.

Both these routes are magic in winter, or fine after about 2pm in summer.

The usual warning...it's the Grose Valley, it's scary/adventurous. I brushed a few holds and nothing more, there's some sharp little crimps down low.

Both stellar routes. Great rock. Great positions.
