    New climb on the Philosopher’s Wall at the Blowholes near Albany. But if anyone else has done it, let me know, as it seems like an obvious line to me, but it’s not in any guidebook that I have seen.

    ‘No Fat Bastards’ (12 m, 21)

    On the short wall between ‘Bottle Top’/’Come and get it’ and ‘Ramp Tutor’, start on the right-hand side of the face under where the big flake ends. Follow the flake up to the left, then up to the second flake back to the right. Finish over the top almost directly above where you started, going for the crimpy side-pull on the top of the arete on the right.

    An alternate finish which is a bit easier (20) is to join up and finish over the big jug and boulder as for the top part of ‘Come and get it’.

    Either way, you’ll need small to medium cams and maybe a few nuts.
