Trip report URL:
Comments: Started in the ck late in the day (11am, had lunch near pitch 3, and got back to the car at 3pm.
We did not find the bolt anchor for pitch 2, so rigged a sling with maillon around a small tree in the waterfall. After that we found the pitch 3 bolts, skipped pitch 4 anchor (looked like mess of tape), and landed at pitch 5 anchor. Pitch 5 anchor - we added a new sling to the mess of tape - "Maillons" and piton rusty but still functioning.
Exit route scrubby/scratchy at start but stayed in scree gully - veered to the spur on the right (heading up) which was scratchy in the steep bits.
We did not follow rope wiki access instructions for drive in - instead went up Brindabella rd and from there in via Curry's Rd, then Two Sticks, then Baldy Range, then Dingy Range, then Waterfall Ck road.
