If we're just going for bottomless sentry boxes, Death Row is nice. If you're quiet in there you can hear your heartbeat reflecting off the walls.

I was hauling a second through it cm by cm, I didn't see his legs but I reckon you would have pissed your pants for sure if you were watching from below. Poor bloke got himself into the chimney the wrong way around so couldn't push off his feet. Extreme hilarity ensued.

Basilisk Direct (16, Bundaleer) is a beauty.
Agamemnon (11, 'Raps) also fits into the category of chimneying above a void.

Definitely Telstar at Ikara. Took a hard sport climbing mate up there and he definitely needed the undies change described in the guide book after leading the bomb bay pitch despite being at least 8 grades under his usual sport prowess.

So you're looking for a desperate, glass-smooth, overhanging chimney with heaps of exposure? Go no further than No Country for Old Men (22), Cania Gorge. The chimney starts about 50m off the ground and overhangs 7m in 20m.

Glad to see you still new routing Joe.
Went for a walk in Cania last year: going up from the dam is a lot easier at the moment courtesy of the back burning which got away(?).
