Mt Talbot

Bugger all decent stuff here apart from the routes out the roof, high up on the L end of the crag. But they kick arse! Keep it in mind for a wet day, otherwise I wouldn't bother.

** Big Wednesday 10m 23 (RP)
My first 23 redpoint! My one regret is that I missed the onsight by only 2 holds on the headwall. Out the line of 3 FH, near the single BB for belaying. Bring someone who's 6'3" to clip the first bolt, then fairly obviously to third clip. Stuff a foot in the dish beside your hands, then L hand to flake on lip, and R hand to lip. Up to obvious orange jug in break, then to small L hand sidepull (crux), R hand in letterbox, and to jug at top of groove. To see what it looks like, have a look at my photos.
