| Route Description: |
| This climbs the big pillar right of the Miners Track known as the Colossus. Access is from the gully on the right. Traverse a ledge from a big block about half way up the long ( lower ) side of the pillar to a belay. Climb into an unattractive corner, then out left into a higher niche, and straight up to the upper ledge. There is a peg there. Traverse left to an exposed wall and climb it, initially on good holds. There is a thin bit, before it eases, but protection is non existant and exposure considerable. A final step leads to the top. A 60m rope will suffice to drop down the short side to secure for abseil back to the belay, if you do not wish to abandon gear at the top. |
