Ascents in Mount Keira by Andrew Sims

Difficult start

Scary and a bit pumpy. Backed off after the first pitch, may be back if I can work up the courage.

... heaps of rope drag, especially for such a short route.

It's all about the crimps and mono in top section, low down is slopey and, my god, the sand!

Burned energy on lead figuring out the crux. One whipper too many so jumped on top and got it clean. A bit tough down low, tougher up high.

Blew a pebble off low on the first slab. Felt soft for 23.

Slippery blank wall on little crimps with a couple of big moves into the rooves. Preclipped the first bolt.

Nice sharp holds with a reasonable start, which is nice for West Face.

Not very well defined.I also did the top pitch of Down and Going, which is much nicer; thought it was part of Crumbed Keira.

Only did the second pitch. Feels spacey and I like it.

Thin through the first two bolts.

Took some skin off on this one. Wasn't too impressed with the location of the lower-offs.

beggining of the second pitch was harder than a 15. Maybe we drifted onto another climb.
