      The Perfidious Potoroo 15m, 20

      Start between \”Mullup\” and \”Land of the Orange Druggie\”. Up past 4 hangers to loweroff. Amusing crux on slopers and little feet will take you straight up over the last bolt. Sneak out right onto \”Land of the Orange Druggie\” if you must….

        Yeah, not bad at all.

        Until the angle of the drilled hold on the crux has been figured out, it is, as you wrote, an ‘Amusing crux’.

        However the lower part of PP does interfere with LotOD, although I suppose that is both a good and a bad thing – instead of a crap wire placement behind a loose block as the first bit of pro on LotOD there is now a fixed hanger.

        Hopefully more people will now also climb LotOD (and brush some of the dirt off it!)

          The drilled hold is too far for Peter to reach from the good stance…… he has to do a whole bunch of smeary and balancy moves to the left to get to it. On the other hand I can just stretch out and grab it. That makes it perfectly placed as far as I am concerned…. :mrgreen:

            Nice climb, a little balancey here and there.
            I could figure the crux 🙁 looking up that slab towards the anchor just seemed like an abyss
            Will have to look for the hole next time 🙂

            Good to see more fixed hangers and chain rings on the walls

            Thanks
