Girraween climbing 24-Dec-2007 At 6:46:19 PM rayda

Hi all - I'm here in the granite belt with lots of gear, not much of a guide book and would love to trad lead but unfortunately lack a bit of trad experience.
Walked around turtle rock and sphinx rock yesterday looking for routes, I found a cool route on sphinx rock - snow white which would be very dooable but I''ve never seen bolts just sticking out of the wall, so have no idea what to do there. Secondly if I do manage to climb to the top, do any of these routes have bolt to rap of, how would I get down.

Turtle rock was a bit of a mystery for me - I know what your all probably thinking, your out of ya league dude, probably, but i am keen to try some basic lead. Is there even a basic sort of a lead around girraween with safe protection or is this area only for the super experienced.

Some beta for easy lead climbing would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
