      New Routes – Willyabrup – Northern Crag.

      Comments on grades / whatever welcome.

      Digital Delecti (18) 20m

      Start as for Baited Frenzy and head straight up past 4 bolts and some trad. Pleasant and varied. Can be cruxy near the top if you are short(ish).

      The next 2 routes are on the terrace near Precious Metals:

      Bearded Dolphin (21)** 15m

      Between Finish Fatale and Thrice Bitten. Great climbing up faces and through two small roofs. Follow the line of 6 bolts and some trad if you feel the need (but not required – except for belay). Bouldery start and multiple cruxes. May seem desperate… but can be finessed down to around grade 21. A classic route for the punters !

      Grunge Metal (24)** 15m

      Classic, steep and pumpy ! Start just left of Precious Metals and head up past 4 bolts. Trad gear needed for belay.

        Got on all three during the week with Kate. Bearded Dolphin is just grand – 21 was what it felt like to me. Grunge Metal pushes the third star….it just needs some gumption!! Thanks for the awesome work.

          That grunge metal is a sport route straight out of thailand. 2/3 star.

          Bearded Dolphins is well worth it too. Those damn small hex heads can be hard to see tho i climbed straight past the last bolt. :0
