thank god. i like the hakea and don't think its in they way. i prefer to belay in the sun on the ledge then go up the face to do the hyper cool step around back into the crack from the pedestal. its also a handy landmark when describing where fiddlesticks is when sitting on top of northern butt with a coupleRe: Climbing gym in Hobart
Never heard of this climbing wall before this post. Must be full of pretended climbers, or dodgy old school ones who only go there to take young ladies up to the Moonraker ledge, we've heard it all before !!

After the main pitch, go up the corner for 3m to an horizontal crack that splits the steep wall on the left. Along this to the edge. Up the edge for a tenuousRe: New Routes
