Ascents by Dan OS

Got it clean...just, but pretty much shat myself towards the top, would have felt better with some trad gear. Hindsight is 20/20

Seems easier than the grade 17 version, pretty good

Another really nice route. I thought it looked harder from the ground, but there were good holds when you needed them.

Crazy traversing over the ocean, the second pitch was done in light rain, that was.... very interesting!

Very happy I led the crux pitch for a change, some really fun moves

Wacky traverse, followed by some strange almost bouldery moves up to DBB. Overall a very nice route, although a tad overbolted.

First pitch only this time, grade 10

Quite sustained with some very committing moves, but good gear. Pushing my limit for leading at this time, but was very satisfying. Eddie flew up on second.

Juggly with some loose rock about, a couple of fun moves between the 1st and 3rd bolts on the second pitch.

With Anna, previously climbed on TR, led it onsight in the gloom of dusk, nice moves.

Not too bad, a few runouts and marginal gear in places, but overall pretty good.

My hardest Frog lead to date, awesome stuff, especially the overhanging chockstone moves. I should have gone out onto the arete but instead went all the way up the awful squeeze chimney... oh well.

Very nice climb, although there is a potential ground fall when clipping the second bolt. Pretty tough for a 17, more like 18.

With Anna, pretty serious runout at the start.

5 pitches of joy, great mixed climbing, well bolted and protected. Johan led pitches 1, 3 and 5, I led 2 and 4. Deserves an extra star.

I dont like the wandering at the crux, the DF is the better option.

Fun adventure route. Linked pitches 2-3,4-5,6-7. 9 was the standout pitch for me, great moves up awesome grippy rock. Even got a pink tricam in which was the highlight of my day 😁. Despite taking a full rack we only used a few cams, a couple small nuts, and the odd slung shrubbery to reduce run out fear.

2nd route of the day. Was busy so had some delays at anchors but fun all the same.

Decent route in a nice position. Ran pitches 2-3, 4-5, and 6-7 together. Pitch 8 was pretty contrived. One move then a walk off. Could easily just walk off around climbers left instead.

Some loose stuff but avoidable with care. The upper pitches are particularly fun. A great day out.

Loved the variety of moves and the steep juggy bit before the chains. Very fun.

With Dan Roe, nice start, the route looks shyte from the ground but is worth a lap.

Fantasic climb, great moves

Not a bad climb at all

Nice route with huge jugs, pity it isnt a bit longer.

Quite liked this route

Nice little route, fun through the overhanging section.

Finally! After eyeing it off many times on the way past to the East Face I got around to leading it today. Was as good as I thought it could be, glad I brought my tricams

Maybe its old age creeping up but this was much better than when I top-roped it last year... has some fun moves and is well bolted. With Tex and Kate.

Led this to get to Rickety Kate, nice bridging and heaps of gear.

With Johan, not too bad, I guess I was expecting more after hearing so much about it. The final 2 pitches were good fun.

With Gary, led both pitches, impressive line and well protected. Very nice moves on the first pitch, and the overhang on the second pitch is excellent.

Hard start to the first bolt!

With Dan Roe, nice committing moves, the entry into the chimney promises a nice swing if you fall.

The new bolted version is much better than the LLR I top-roped last year... has some fun moves and is well bolted. With Tex and Kate.

The highlight of the weekend, I loved this route. Excellent moves, gear and exposure, left me grinning for hours!

Not too bad. Similar to PC with an easier start.

Felt soft for 15, but the moves were pretty good.

Methinks we zigged when we should have zagged. Johan led the first pitch, we then agreed the route was right, although the climbing didnt match the guide, and the belay was missing. 48m out until a dodgy belay and bushbash. A repeat (and correct) attempt is planned.

Was sandbagged onto this by Brother Colin, but disappointed him by not falling Nice hand crack.

Not too bad.

Much the same as LT on the first pitch, second pitch up the wide chimney was great.
