A small group of us went to check out this new spot last Saturday (4Oct). Unfortunately we got there a bit late in the morning and there was already a large-ish group of about a dozen who had set up a few top ropes and clipped a few of the routes, so they had the established routes setup for themselves for the whole day. Not to worry, we'll be back again - it's a great spot to climb and hang out for the day. Just a few little things to mention...

1. The walk in is very well marked and the path is getting worn in a bit, so there's little chance of wandering off the trail now and trampling on more vegetation.

2. Although there was fairly steady rain the day before, seepage was not an issue on the established routes.

3. We checked out the left-side wall past Maximum Impact (over the boulder with the loose flat flake sitting on top of it) and a couple of us trad-lead a route or two there. They're short 12-13m vertical-to-slabby routes that take pro and should be half-decent lower-grade (13-14) sports leads if they're bolted. Still pretty mossy, even though we cleaned as much as we could.

Thanks to Neil for locating/bolting the area and to Mr 'dreamingof8a' for recommending that we go check it out. :)
