Route Description:

About 40m right of the great cave, on the "Hogs Back" Buttress (across the amphitheatre and right of the Miners Track) there is an obvious chimney system. Climb this to the top where an awkward exit is made to the right under roof and then left (crux) to top.

Thundercrack, Muckish - The upper section of this prominent Fissure just right of the great cave on "Hog's Back Buttress".

Second ascent 27 years later!! Still 4b, feels serious, good route, but would benefit from a clean. Dry weather route!
