Better if I knew how to crack climb 🤣

Grade 20 in Nowra

Crack crux for the fun, left with one take to don't fall across the mini roof, definitely will come back for it

Pumpy start and a funky finish for a beautiful line. Mind the draws for the drag

So psyched to finish this! Hard crux in the crack and after getting easier on mostly good jugs with potentially heartbreaking moves to clip the anchor.

Misty weather and previous days of rain made the top section wet. Just worked the crux to top of crack. Best attempt was clean to top of crack where I fell off the last move to the jug. Hands are feeling a bit battered from the handjam... Weather permitting...this could go!!

Hard crack section, painful jamming! Can do the moves just not all together. From the top of the crack can get to anchors clean.

I think this 7c, or soft 7c+. Fun climbing: if it were more consistently difficult in the upper head wall, it would be a classic.

Finally! After leaving the draws on, the rain set in. Our last day here and the weather was dry. First shot, got through the crux only to be foiled by a missed jug. Second shot, got the jug and cruised to the top! Woohoo! A great climb if you can crack climb, harder if you can't....
