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.

Herbert's Way 85m 15
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.

Many thanks to the hospitality and liquid refreshments offered at the bar of the Curtain Springs homestead. Many drunken nights spent there telling ever taller stories.
