Possibly the start of the second pitch of Arachnus.

I was being silly - it's obviously not the Blueys since Blueys routes have nowhere near that much veg or choss on them (not even the George Owens routes)!!

Does Simey realise that he got it right : start of pitch 2 of Arachnus.

Ahhh, George. What a legacy. Anyone know what happened to him?
He doesn't have a Wikipedia page.

Whilst Simey's busy serving coffees, I have a photo starring him at least

That's a horrendous offwidth roof in the Grampians. There was an article in rock or crux a while ago that was all about offwidths with this in it. Bugger me if I can remember the name though

Olbert's almost correct. Except that it's not horrendous, it's rather fun. I believe Dave Jones soloed it one day. Just need to find your old Crux mags now ...

I have fond memories of that one too Kieran! And doesn't Simey look like he's having fun?
Here's Simey again. Not sure if I have any more photos of him so he'd better take a break from his new found career soon ...

Genuine wage overhang (or something like that).

Sorry to jump the gun Wendy, but I am pretty confident on this one.
Simon Carter, eat your heart out:
It is not obscure at all.

It's rather funny that someone guessed Layback and think of England, just whilst I was putting LBATOE up ... So despite appearences from the order of things, the first photo is genuine wage overhang, for which Kieren kindly lent me the tubes used on the first ascent which I then proceded to completely ignore in favour of the lovely big cams I had. Actually, I tried to place them to recycle the cams, but it was way to hard to hang out and faff with them! And the 2nd one is LBATOE.

Thanks Cruze; did it in 72.
Here's one from a year or so later. Climber is my sister. Extra quedos for naming the chalkbag maker...
