Ascents of Descent of the Machines

Led pitch 1, 5-7. Aid up crux below anchor of pitch 4.

Note to self: Don't try this in mid-november - bailed after doing the first pitch due to the baking sun almost welding my shoes to my toes. Took us 45 mins of stuffing around trying to work out if this was the correct line of bolts. Also note to self: The climb starts about 40m to the right of Ricoh Destruction Test, not 20m as advertised. There's another climb (Peregrinations) that's about 10 to 12 meters right of Ricoh that confused things a bit. Anyway, we found it, climbed the lichen covered 1st pitch, and bailed. Keen to return in cooler weather and complete this.

Committing climbing. Was difficult with a backpack on! Had to retreat after pitch 1 due to time constraints

Free! After an initial fall. Pretty tough. Grade?

a nice finish. An awesome adventure, it should be climbed more

pumpy, goey, good moves, enjoyed the traverse too

part flash, part onsight, the beginnings of an adventure

good sustained climbing

needed the draw, but 2nd clean otherwise

With Tash. Finally got a couple of pitches clean!Great to head away from the airy belay.

With Tash. Both very happy to complete this route and top out at the lookout.

Got it with a few rests. Sustained but very good!

With Tash. Some interesting moves on small holds, followed by a scary traverse.

With Tash. Unfortunately I had to aid more than the official aid move.

With Tash. Next visit we are doing all pitches.

Really good through the overhangs. Thin traverse.
