Taking a final go before a storm runs through.

Skimbleshanks. Start by stepping into the big hole by the first bolt. Climb the slab, with some thin moves, then turn the roof near the top.<br> <br> A 70m rope works well for lowering or rappelling; be careful if you use a 60m rope.

Loving it!
Nickie Kelly enjoying the slab moves on Skimbleshanks.
The route loosely follows the red line. I couldn't see the bolts in the picture so it's off by a little, but it's close.
The big hole at the first bolt.
Getting higher....
