"the route Comausminpab on Bullet Hole Wall is a Navy acronym for "Commander Australian Mine Warfare and Patrol Boat Forces"."
Do you have to sing 'In the Navy' when you climb it?

Got on the climb today. a couple years after you.....
Left hand jug, right hand jug (little to no footholds)
jump left hand to sidepull, high step
there is a semi good right hand hold.
left finger pocket, left foot out wide, pull over
There are alot of funnelweb spiders. funny undercling hand jam.
Step foot up on 1cm rail.
There is HUGE temptation to move right to a glorious sidepull. Do not.
Move left to a scoop. Left hand high to a two finger sidepull on an angle. right hand goes to a painful hold. move feet to the right.
CRUX
Huge move high to right. high step right (somehow clip)
huge move high left.

Spiders in the pockets on Fox Sox Pox scared me silly years ago.

We did Eccles a few weekends ago. I reckon that's pretty sandbagged at 20. (or maybe I'm just a soft Pom). But compared to other 20's/21's in the area (Cranky, Septic Penguins, Trickles, Unfair Dismissal, Bluntman, Home made gonad guillotine). Also Palm Sunday right next to it is probably easier I reckon.

Eccles has always been a sandbag in that its evolving over time and the grade is behind the erosion curve...it used to be 18 and was hard then for a 6m climb.

It's easy? Hard? In a league of its own? Not worth climbing? etc
This sentence needs finishing.

Hah, thank you grammar/syntax pedant. I stand corrected.
In my humble opinion I think it's pretty tough for a 20. It's definitely worth climbing. Especially if you enjoy thin and crimpy wall climbs. I'd also say that clipping the second bolt can be sketchy. It's a carrot and also if you had a loop of slack out and fell you would probably land on the pile of rocks below.

Is Eccles still carrotted? I thought it got rebolted a few years ago. Might have to duck up and fix that.

From http://routes.sydneyrockies.org.au/confluence/display/nswrock/Berowra :
Just right of DC. Up on crimps past 2 RBs to the lower off above DC. Looks soft for the grade?

6 metres? And it's bolted??

Yeah, maybe it is on rings. I noticed a few things up there have been rebolted with rings. Thanks to whoever did that. Love your work.

It's an endurance test piece obviously for us Sydney peeps.
I think 2 bolts is enough (obviously), only that the first one is a little low down.
