"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

First Recorded AscentL. Kimber and I successfully climbed the West Gully/Face and West Ridge to the summit of this significant peak, the 2915m summit of Rocky Peak. Sections of 5.6 and 5.5 on face, and easy, but loose 5.3 summit ridge. Honestly, if you are comfortable soloing slab 5.6 and don't mind loose rock, I recommend scrambling the whole route. We didn't rappel on descent, but did downclimbed (pitched and protected) 70 metres of 5.7/5.8 on descent, easier options for descent may exist.
