One for the vaults

Newlands valley
15 June 2012
Waterfall Buttress, Direct Route 110m Severe

These crags have appealed for a while, having been up to Miners crag twice already and eyeballed them walking in and out.


Looking down to the walk in up Newlands valley from Dale Head, crag in view upper right


The route failed to live up to it's two star billing


Gear not exactly over abundant

Had to broddle mud out of a crack to get any decent pro in P2!

BP leads up P3


Descent down south gully best described as horrid


Walk out vista


Walk in 1 hour 11mins
4.2km
280m ascent

Walk out 45m
