"Mt Connor is fragile fractured mountain of dubious climbing merit. Each approach is compromised by loose sections some of which are huge.
During one climb a section being lead climbed by Fred Dubus that was around 4-5 metres square detached itself from the mountain and fell outwards directly above me in belay with Fred firmly attached. The section fell out a few frightening inches and stopped. It took what seemed like hours but was only minutes to slowly and carefully traverse off the side of the fractured section to a safe anchor. Climbing ceased for the day.

Lots of loose rock and a scary lead (like most routes on this cliff). The obvious corner and main line of the cliff - you can pick it out from the campsite below. 1) 20m Take the obvious chimney crack L of the Main corner with the detached buttress. Up to belay in cave with long horizontal break extending L from it. 2) 20m Straight up crack to belay in corner. 3) 45m Continue up cornercrack to top.
