Introduction

When standing in the Capertee Campground, this is the obvious cliffline above on the promontory on the south side of the river, opposite the pub, before the cliff line turns south. A huge landslide scar is visible. The main climbing area is to the right of the landslide and vegetated gully. There are two old climbs to the left of the scar.

History

This crag was previously referred to as "The Landslide Area" in Andrew Penney's 1984 guide.

Access

The orange vertical stripe on the left hand side of the cliff is a good clue for locating the main wall. Cross the river at the ford near the pub, turn left and continue 40m along the road until you find a small cairn marking a trail up the hill. The track is currently marked with white paint markers. (This is the same track for Desperado Walls.) Continue up the steep hillside for 20 minutes, until you meet a large downwards-sloping bulbous gum tree. From here, swing left facing the short cliff band and follow a high pad, keeping left until you have to squeeze through a short boulder. Continue leftwards until you reach the main wall. You should see a karabiner about 12 metres up, below a large black diagonal flake system. Descent is via the walking track from above.

Left Side

The following two old climbs are left of the landslide.

Electric Kool-Aid	15	61m
Start in the large right facing corner 30m to the left of the landslide scar. Can be identified by short twin parallel cracks on the left wall of the corner about 30m up. 1. 23m. (15) Up rotten rock to corner. Layback or jamb up steep edge. Cracker anchor on ledge. 2. 15m. (15) Follow the superb corner, either chimneying (very strenuous) or laybacking. Belay on large platform. 3. 23m. Follow cracks up wall to top. The rock is worse in the upper section. Original route ends in a large, dirty cave.

Psychedelic	15	41m
A classic chimney struggle with fine moves out on the wall at the top. Start 25m right of EK in the big obvious chimney just to the left of the landslide. Tree anchors. The climb cannot be seen until you're at the base of it as the chimney faces left. 1. 8m. Up and around chockstones, strenuous to cracker anchor. 2. 15m. Continue up the chimney, nut protection to nut anchor on ledge. 3. 18m. (crux) To top of chimney then to ledge. Walk slightly right, step delicately around nose and up the wall to top.

Right Side of Landslide

*	Wolganeering	15	60m
	On the left side of the vegetated gully (opposite Off The Lip etc) is a yellow offwidth corner. Just 2m right of this offwidth is a nice looking hand crack splitting the face. 1. 20m. (15) Up attractive hand crack that drifts right and then up with interest to ledge. 2. 20m. (10) Move right, then launch up black wall, slinging edges as you go. Belay on large ledge. 3. 20m. (12) Traverse right with trepidation (gulp!), step into chimney, then up pleasant chimney to top. This chimney is possibly the last section of Unexpected.
