Inspired by a visit from top Canadian trad climbers, I finally climbed a line on the Mountain I have been eyeballing for quite awhile. It's the face across from Inflagrente. I was a bit worried about the gear so I preplaced and preclipped the anchor. However, I barefoot solod past the bolted anchor to the top of the cliff which I'm pretty chuffed with. I'm not that happy with the overall style but since realizing the new wave of climbing ethics in Canada I have booked a ticket there and plan on toproping Cobra Crack for another fully sick send #InsertSponsorsHere!!! Thanks Kanuks for showing us how to climb down in sleepy little backwater Tasmania. Thanks for revolutionizing climbing in Australia!

Trotsky's Pink Revolution 40M 24/31 (or whatever happens to be the hardest grade in the state)
Climb up easy handcrack to no hands rest. Place high runner (skip if already preclipped the anchor) and stretch out left into crack on arete. Follow the arete getting close to the chimney in a couple places but well worth staying on line. Good gear but hard to place in spots, again not a worry if you preclipped the anchor Canadian style.

P.S. This route does actually exist. I did really climb it on top rope about an hour ago. I am really writing it up. If he can I can.... right?
