To those that suggest it might be able to be done on gear, you probably could but not exactly safe. I didn't notice any placements on the top third although I wasn't exactly looking for any.

Somebody also suggested that it's waiting for it's first trad ascent in a PM but I'm not sure of this as the route history is kinda dubious. According to TheCrag.com the route was FA'd this year, however, at some point late in the WCC discussion thread Terry claimed that this was an old route. He mentioned the dude who had supposedly done it (I can't remember and can't verify now) and he mentioned existing bolts. There is no mention of this route in the 1994 Rockclimber's Guide to Wollongong and Nowra.

And apart from all that from what I have been told by various old farts that everything at Mt Keira has been climbed or soloed anyway so any new bolting is actually retroing of old solos.
