Above the prominent deep chimney is a sustained crack and corner climb of gob-smacking brilliance. Climb the chimney to where it narrows before traversing out of the chimney and up. Continue up the imposing crackline and blind corner to the large ledge and rap anchors. K. Carrigan, G. Child, Feb. 1978.</climb><climb name="Pleasant Screams" stars="***" grade="26" length="55m" extra="Þ">'Tasmania's To Bolt or Not To Be'. The mind-blowing face L of Brown Madonna. (1) 20m 25. Climb the flaky wall to a hanging belay. An eminently good pitch to work in its own R. The flakes are reputed to have resulted from the 1967 bushfire and provide good reason for wearing a helmet (although they aren't sufficient to detract from this great pitch). (2) 35m 26. Continue up the amazing face above, past another 12 U's to the anchors. S. Edwards, Dec. 1996. </climb><climb name="After Midnight" stars="***" grade="24" length="50m" extra="Þ">A modern classic that is consistent quality all the way. Demonstrates what can be done with school holidays and a nickel-cadmium power-pack. The arête between Brown Madonna and Digitalis. Fifteen quick draws required en-route plus something to clip into the abseil anchors. S. Edwards, Jan. 1995.</climb> </guide> |
