	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Loki Keneddy	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Rod de Paiva	Sat 11th May 2013
Seconded for Loki. Awesome climb nevertheless. Lay back galore till you get to the roof. Got a solid hand jam and enjoyed it thoroughly! Some say it is the hardest route for the grade in the Mountains. Get on it!!!

Great layback, then widens slightly at the top and hand jams are glorious.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Benedict Armitage	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Alastair McDowell	Fri 28th Aug 2015
Top quality splitter laybacking! A double rack of 0.5-2 would have been nice, a lot of leap-frogging 1 and 2, had to rig some dodgy gear for the final roof pull-around: super atmospheric in the wind, but not too bad. Be careful with rope drag - the anchor is round to the left.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Alastair McDowell	Sun 30th Aug 2015
Quick lap seconding Cillian for a warm-up. Much easier the second time round.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Ro-boat	Tue 16th Feb 2016
Ahh such a test piece. Definitely a full value climb. Actually lead the second pitch as well. Wasn't quite as much of a fan. Medium quality rock and not much protection to speak of.

Terrific toe jamming and laybacks up the crack & tricky move under small roof. Nice climb.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Jordan Maxwell	Tue 18th Dec 2018
3 stars. Full value 16. Seconded Lewis, who made it look relatively easy. Stuck purely to crack moves as that's what top roping is for! Led the second pitch which was a bit adventurous in the roaring wind.

amazing 45 degree crack. All muscle here. Contrary to the description, pitch 2 IS worth doing
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Hayden L	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Mac Labine-Romain	Sun 1st Dec 2019
P1 only - loved the corner, and our through-the-roof variant
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m		Michael 'Monty' Burns	Sat 29th Feb 2020
Pitch 1 only, leading on pre-placed gear, first proper go on trad. Calm type of fear.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Sam May	Sun 8th Sep 2013
Absolutely brilliant splitter, maybe the most aesthetic crack I've seen in the mountains, seriously! Climbs great too, did feel easy, on second at least! Good lead by Ro with a small rack.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Mega Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sat 30th Jul 2016
Pitch 1 only. Amazing at the grade but probably a sandbag.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Jason Nguyen	Trad 50m	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Mon 19th Mar 2018
Possibly my proudest belay tick! Awesome to see Jason overcome the most profound trad jitters i have ever seen and power to the top of this classic. A highlight was a section of the crack (that he up and down climbed a million times) that ended up with like 9 cams in 5 metres in it or something like that. Gotta love triple #2s, #0.75s and #0.5s!!

Tom did a great job at leading this laybacking crack!
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Ryan L	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Scott Bishop	Sun 28th Oct 2018
Awesome to finally get on this! Layback for days. Only seconding so pretty nice to check it all out with no consequences. I was definitely braver when I was belaying. Coming back soon to get this on lead.

So good
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Sid Tinney	Sat 18th May 2019
P1 only. Fun laybacking into little rooflet that's not as difficult as it looks. Heaps of gear, well worth getting on.

	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Heath Black	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 3rd Oct 2020
Seconding Monty. Pretty good for a shortish Blueys easy trad route. Kinda hard at the grade. Bring oodles of #1 's.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus P1 - with Nat 1	Trad 50m		Marco de Jongh	Sun 7th Feb 2021
The Laybacking was actually way less hard then it looked. Good jam laybacking most of the way
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Marco de Jongh	Trad 50m		Nat	Sun 7th Feb 2021
Hahah I forgot this was sandbagged. And sandy - at the bottom (I witnessed a foothold disintegrate under Marco's weight)
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus 1 16 20m 2 30m	Trad 50m		rickau	Sat 29th May 2021
Great to get back on this since my last attempt a few years ago. Still seems tricky for a 16. This crack forces you to use technique.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Ben Taylor	Trad 50m	★★ Very Good	james ritchie	Sat 5th Jun 2021
Only did first pitch. Nice little warm up.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus - with Ryan Cooper 1 16 20m lead by Ryan Cooper	Trad 20m	★★★ Classic	Jacob Henwood	Sun 6th Jun 2021
There's a lot of layback here if you want it. I don't really know how to crack climb, so I ended up doing a lot of layback and shoulder-stemming.
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus	Trad 50m	★★★ Classic	Geoff Cooper	Sat 23rd Oct 2021
Even on second, I found this quite strenuous. Intended to jam but my feet were slightly too large and ended up laybacking. A little delicate at the rooflet but fortunately easy to hand jam the whole way
	16	★★★ The Gates of Janus P1 - with Nat 1 20m Second lead by Nat	Trad 20m	★★ Very Good	Laurie Bristow	Sun 20th Nov 2022
Did this without knowing about loose block, can't say I noticed it?
