The long weekend saw another route done on Mt Trio, we repeated the routes to check their grades and managed to get a card carrying CAWA bigshot (conrad) to do a couple of routes and take some photos. Hopefully he was impressed enough to talk the place up cause we reckon with long, overhung routes in a beautiful setting that people should be flocking to it.
The new route was:
Tightrope Walker 30m 21
Between Ringmaster and Circus, Circus on the upper tier. Rap down to RH DBB – up to bolt common to CC and BL, up to second bolt common to CC and TW then trend L. Possibly the steepest 21 in the state! FA Emil Sept 06
Our routes going from L-R on the cliff have been re-graded (and one renamed) as follows:
Lower Tier
One Trick Pony 23 30m **
Sideshow Eddie 25 30m *
Fuelling the Dancing Bear 22 30m *** (formerly Fuelling the Beer Monster)
Upper Tier
Ringmaster 20 30m *
Tightrope Walker 21 30m **
Circus Circus 21 30m *
Bearded Lady 22 30m ***
