Ascents of The Martian as Tick

Enjoyable day out. Think I went off route on pitch 8 up a vegetated corner, not sure if the climb goes more to the left perhaps? Thanks to a helpful party being at the next belay, we were able to find it ok. Also glad to have lugged a large cam up just for a placement in the last pitch

Slabby run-out sport climb. Not my favourite. The steep trad top out was the best bit. Rapped the route, in under 1.5hr, no issues at all.

Crazy windy from about pitch 4 onwards. Automatically dubbing this route as a pretty hectic, though perfectly reasonable and safe, mixed trad multi adventure.

Linked pitches 2-3, 4-5, and; 6-7. Went to link 8-9 but decided there was too much drag after going up and around the chimney with two full 70m ropes. Most probably could have reduced this with better rope management and further gear extension. Definitely a learning process. Placed a #4 cam several times, both as part of a bet, but also why not?

Rad day out with the best company one could hope for. Ending what was a very cold, windy day with high morale. The pub feed after was top stuff.

Finished the last pitch just before sunset. It was a little bit of a race against the light by the end of it. Walked off down the tourist route in the twilight, pitch black by the time we hit the picnic area.

My second time on the route, first time leading any of the pitches. The fading light gave me a kick up the bum to get going on the last pitch which was an awesome lead. Right in my discomfort-zone.

The whole route is a great introduction into leading trad. It is sensibly bolted for those looking for a bit more confidence on bigger moves, but sparse enough when things are cruisey for you to be able to focus on looking for placements.

Swung lead. Was a fun day out but other than the last pitch, it’s pretty much a spot climb.

A nice day out with some great friends! An exploding water bottle in the carpark that steve happened to catch on camera before his instagram spontaneously deleted the video, followed by a jog from the start back to the car to retrieve my climbing shoes provided a messy start as seems to be a theme on my multi-pitch adventures.

The Climb: Couple nice-ish pitches at the start with some flowey slab pitches (even a couple foot jams in flakes). Pitches 4 through 8 are shit. Skipped the supposedly half-decent pitch 9 by straying off path on my link lead of 8 and 9. Good to get a chance to find pro in an untracked section of mountain though, it was all there (sometimes just tree roots, although some good micro nuts went in). Pitch 10 was pretty fun, stoked for Jarred to push through this lead despite some escaping gear and tiredness, there's some sections that make you think a bit.

Again its about the company, and I was fortunate to witness the creation of Steve and Jarred's children's story about Mt Beerwah and its dark pivot towards a horror fantasy about an evil mountain that swallows belayers and severs ropes with its spirit.

Walked down the ever-spicey tourist track, threw jarreds rope on the ground at the end after a few falls.. he called out 'hey thats my rope', i argued; 'well its my tantrum..' (anyone is welcome to use this pearler of an excuse for throwing other peoples shit around!

Victory walk back to the climbers carpark via the fire trail was half an hour. Some well deserved KFC on the way home!

Definitely worth a lap. Good rock and interesting climbing. Hanging belay at pitch 9 anchors is the horrible but otherwise a well set up multi. 4 hours to the top. Linked 2/3,4/5,6/7

What an amazing climb. This is a fantastic addition to SEQ adventure climbing. Simuled in just over an hour with some minor route finding issues

Great slabby climbing. Would not recommend bouldering shoes for this one. Comfy shoes for next time. Pitch nine and 10 had some spicy moves. Need more water and snacks next time

Such a good time! Great gear, fun crux pitch, and a great crew.

Mason (accidentally) linked pitches 1 & 2. I linked pitches 4 & 5 (deliberately). The climbing doesn't really happen until pitches 9 & 10 - the rest is pretty easy slab climbing, but on great rock with interesting features. Route finding on pitch 8 was a little confusing but once you've figured it out it makes sense. Overall a great day out. We did it as a party of 3, using twin ropes for the leader and two seconds climbing at once several meters apart. That saved some time. Not sure I'd want to rap off it as it looked like the rope may get caught in places, though I can't confirm this because we walked off the top and down the hiker's trail.

Fun day out. We did the left variant for pitches 3-5 mentioned in a previous comment, which definitely added variety (and a very cool flake). Pitches 9 and 10 had the most interesting climbing, but the scramble down the tourist track might have been the hardest part of the climb led odds, Chris led evens.

First pitch only
