There is a new route written up on the VCC site at the moment:
Shit F@#$, I Ate a Beef Burger!… Arhhh 120m 15
A vegetarian Delight! Start at large rock cairn halfway between Syrinx and Pan Grove. 1) 40m 15 Climb slabby weakness through bulge to ledge, continue straight up to big ledge. 2) 35m 13 Step R onto ridge, follow straight through bulge, passing weird holes 2 m to your L. Follow large flake to gain R hand of twin cracks to another bulge, pull this and belay on top. 3) 35m 13 Climb straight through 2 juggy bulges following obvious weaknesses. Continue up to gain ledge via yet another bulge. 4) Finish by climbing diagonally L to meet syrinx final pitch. Climb Syrinx final pitch. Shaun Kratzer and some other Pom. Feb 2004

I climbed this with Jerry on Saturday before the rain and found the first 3 pitches to be pretty good interesting climbing that will clean up really nicely with a bit more traffic. The climb is let down a little with the finish as described and I feel sure a better more direct finish could be added instead of traversing over to meet Syrinx. Anybody else done this climb?
