New Diversions and Burst of Brilliance
Al starting up the steep face of Burst of Brilliance on the right. Another party to the left on New Diversions. Paul led the latter in one pitch to anchor at a high block with rap slings, just before that upper crack widens for a good stretch (5.8 but requiring big gear) toward the top. Possible to rap from that slung block back to ground with 70 m rope. With a 60 or 50, rap first instead to the anchor of Burst of Brilliance (located to the right of the big tangle of dried bush), and then another rap from there to the ground. 24 Mar 2007.
