Big Kangaroo

[Billy]

Anyone done any of the routes on Big Kangaroo? Any route suggestions?

I did one route up on Kangaroo about 15 years ago. I can't remember exactly which one (think it was the south face), an easy moderate with good pro and reasonably solid rock. Though from looking at the route info I may be confusing it with the N. Face of Kangaroo Temple. Too many brain cells gone since then and not a good enough climb to burn it in my memory forever. Personally, I would choose one of the more classic routes unless you've done them all.

I have done the easiest route on Big Kangaroo. The earlier the better if you leave from the hairpin becuase there is A LOT of scree involved.

 

Route is as Beckey states. The very last portion is a smooth slab that can be protected by throwing a rope over the summit and belaying by the partner on the opposite side if slabs are not your kinda thing.
