Decided to try a gully route up this one, no for the faint hearted :shock: :lol: There is a bypass to the right at the dodgy start, or a tricky scramble to the left which i ended up downclimbing again after that it's just really steep to the top :D
Great hill with great views. Unfortunately had the gopro set on narrow :(

Nice little video. Some crackin' views.
Thanks for reminding those of us, who couldn't make the weekend, what we missed. Cheers, for that. :-)

It wasn't too bad, still a bid windy. I decided to go up the slab and through the gap rather than go over the "obsticle" due to the wind and had no problems. :D

Great video of a great hill. Doesn't look an easy way up though.
