Easier above P2 30m 5.8 3bolts Up left from the station. Scrambly with a few moves. P3 28m 5.10b 12bolts. Steep off the station. Back right to a slab crux. Sustained to the top. Watch for rope-drag. Rappel chains out left P4 24m 5.10c 8bolts Left from the station, then right under the roof. The anchor is up and left of the rappel chains. P5 27m 5.10a 8bolts Pull the lip above the anchor the easier. Belay from bolt anchor, leave the chains for rapelling. P6 30m 5.10a 11bolts Steep off the anchor, then wander up the walls above. Watch for rope-drag. Approach the Outpost: Follow the Conroy Forest Service Road north past the Forgotten Wall and the Crest on foot, 4x4 or high clearance 2-wheel drive. The second left turn, about 2.4 km past the Forgotten Wall, leads immediately to a parking area and the trail. On foot, it is about 35 minutes to the trail head from Cheak parking. Follow the trail, trending north, through forest and boulder field for 15-20 min to the base of the route. Centurion is on the prow of largest and northern most wall. Descent: Rappel the route with a single 60m rope. Note: The area is often windy so the rock dries quickly. The wind is great in mid-summer, but can be cold in the off season. Updated Sept 2017
