HSD is the middle of that wall with one carrot. If it is the line of hangers up the right side of the same wall it is Cunard A L'Oranges.

didnt feel like 24, maybe i just avoided the crux by traversing a little far right

Vaguely recall crux being top section straight up to short finger crack from last FH.

That explains it, there was a carabiner on the last FH and i thought the climb ended there.

Chains on stance on the arete above.
I'm stoked someones been on the climb although missed the top ;-)
I don't think too many people head out to those Cathedral crags including Neds Peak, Ten Fathom Ridge or the Sunset Strip.
Although a strenuous walk in I can't understand why people continue to go constantly back to crags such as Werribee when these quality crags lie dormant!

Yeah i agree, there's plenty of good crags for day trips around melb, be a little adventurous and stop goin back to the same stuff eh!
We also did Naked Ape on Ten Fathom Reach while we were there; very thankful for being able to clip the bolt on the 24 that Naked Ape traverses!

Two Way Stretch is a really nice 22. My roof route Evilution - grade 21 from '93 down the left end probably awaits a second ascent...
Sunset strip has a super classic 22 - Gift of the Gab is brilliant and alone is worth the walk!

Bloody hell, so many good routes....my eastern guide has all of the Cathedrals ripped out 'cos I put the pages in my pockets....are all of these routes written up Marty? They aint all on thecrag....
Your roof crack sounds nice.
Well done Tim. You managed to go off route and then not finish.....sounds like me at uni actually...

All these were done in the dark ages and are all in the Eastern Victoria Guide. Thecrag is missing many of the 'newer' routes ;-)
Evilution actually follows a large roof flake for the roof proper with one bolt below and one on the headwall (hence the route name...)

Super stoked that I'm going to the Wolgan for 5 days this long weekend. Come on sun! Fark, I love the place and can't wait to get back out there. It's a bit of a pity that I'm weak as a kitten at the moment so will be hunting the low grades pretty badly. I don't care though, any climbing is good climbing.

Congratulations, mate!
Yeah, jobs are good. You get money and you can buy stuff like gear and airfares and beer.
I just had to call off my Frenchman's trip because I got a job with Country Energy that is too cushy to knock back.

Sort of. Greater Blue Mountains I'd call the Wolgan.
