Ascents as various tick types as trad by James

lead p 2&4, the start of p2 is desperate!! not very sustained, so a good climb for aspiring gr21 leaders

the 1st pitch is awesome, but the remainder gets progressively worse. Good slabby route for a rest day after cranking the steeps. I'd still recommend doing it just for p1.

so bloody close to doing this but I got pumped trying to back up the manky rusty pins. Lowered down from just above the crux yo-yo style & got it 2nd shot easily.

just 1 rest - got pumped on the traverse at the top, still have to get fitter. Really bloody nice sustained finger locks & stemming, but shame about the amount of chalk.

nice moves but its way too polished

just 1 rest just before the top (I've got to get fitter). Cam took a HUGE whipper on lead)

I had to have a quick rest on this pumpy & committing beast. The line & position look super cool, but the rock up high doesn't inspire confidence.

very enjoyable climb (except the heckling from the 4yr old kid on the tourist track....)

my 1st taste of the fabled Taipan.... bunched up & awkward on the crux for me.... I missed the crux throw & caught myself twice!

only did the short p2 (10m 20/21)

very enjoyable problem solving exercise (there moves are all there once you work them out!)

tough crux for the grade but very nice climbing

a pumpy struggle but I got there in the end.

leaves a great big grin on your face after doing this - fun fun fun

nice but a bit dirty (needs more traffic)

fiddly gear down low. fun moves up higher

link p1 of this with p3 of Vandal for a great gr17 outing

would be better if more sustained.

shady p1 - firts 6-7m is harder than 17

cool climb, pumpy traverse & reachy crux

really bloody nice climb

fun but overrated one move wonder (repeats: lead 30.4.04)

1st pitch is too short, 2nd pitch is classic!!

super cool & classy but very chalked. Don't try this on a hot sweaty day!!

more slabbling, but not recommended for a sketchy gr15 leader

super bomber gear, great line, the only downside is sharp rock

jamB jamB jamB.... fun fun fun. Where else in Aust can you climb 6-7 long pitches (with only 1 'bad' pitch)??

1st pitch is very dirty but ok otherwise - 2nd pitch is classic though!!

amazing dyke features & healthy run-outs with committing moves (more like 19?)

mostly straight-forward but a sting in the tail

super good, well protected

totally hold-less & desparate - more like 22 (even for a Buffalo 20!). crystals were crumbling under my feet

very contrived (compared to the usual Gramps classics!!)

reachy crux!!

delicate climbing on sometimes slopey holds, very nic!!

super good rock, great fun

huffed & puffed, climbed up & down, & eventually did it

cleaner than it looks - super good

bit short, bit lichenous

the grooves of doom.... scary 1st pitch, mega classic 2nd pitch

super classy line, more like 20 though?

nice warm up

called "Roriama" (HB & Noddy route)

called "Humboldt" (HB & Noddy's route)

under-rated line, a must do!

(repeats: 2nd 29.4.04)

greasy

why is this route popular?

stars?? I think not...

tricky but not sustained
