Ascents climbed between 2013-01-01 and 2013-12-31 as Onsight by Sam May

Good climb but I was in the wrong mood to enjoy it. Had to haul down on a badly tangled pull cord with the microtraxion, while abseiling in behind a large Bunny Bucket Buttress conga line.

Took 7 bolt plates, some wires, and 3 cams #0.75 to #2 (which we did place one or two times)

Barefoot for a warmdown.

Great stuff all round, position, line and climbing. Surprisingly exposed. If you're going to do it in pitches I recommend taking the bolt plates and topping out.

Great, would have two stars at Thompsons Point.

This crag isn't bad, afternoon shade, bush character, Wolgan style walk in to keep away the masses, I'll be back.

Three years ago I would have been raving, but now it's just a good morning out.

Linked pitches 1 & 2, simulclimbed the halfway ledge, off by 1pm for lunch and latte in Blackheath, before going cragging in the afternoon.

(Unfortunately our style looks less impressive next to the 3 Queenslanders in front of us, who simulclimbed BBB and HC in a day, to train for speed climbing in Yosemite!)

SLAB. GASM.

Rest day antics. I thought we were top-roping!?

Put a good #3 and/or #4 camalot in the ramp at the start.

So glad I saved this for the onsight! Great line and climbing. Intimidating reputation, but the protection is good, really.

(GEAR BETA) First half has nuts and a cam or two, then red and purple totem cams are sinker at the crux, and a #4 Friend for the topout.

Armbar practice.

Old school flaring chimney. Take big gear. I think I've now done every grade 14/15 crackline at here.

Could baaarely reach the horizontal on tippy toes...up and down to get gear and dithering a lot before committing. Add several grades if you're short.

Good climb though, striking line. Rapped off after P1.

The obvious line here. Accessible sea cliff consumer classic, sandy horror for the whole family.

Would be classic at Thompsons Point, but clipping bolts is a bit boring compared to some of the other routes on offer here.

Zero visual or voice communication with the second from up the top so take care.

Great!

Bit slithery.

Very cool rock features.

Now this is a great beginner's climb. Very fun and some good slings and threads for gear.

Entertaining and old-school but definitely not for a grade 8 leader! We took a lot of big gear (#4, #5, #6) and used all of it.

Nice line, good climbing.

Mikl has pointed out that I actually climbed this and not Shivering Jeremy in the past. Who needs grAId to upgrade a past onsight by five Ewbank grades?

"A great trad outing! Mandatory thin hands jamming on the first half, then brutal and scary through the roof above the ledge, then sandy and flaring up to two of the worst rusted metal things you'll ever see. Second couldn't follow, found a hex as booty, fun times!"

Tricky and interesting as a sport route, would have been hectic before the retrobolt!

Fierce crimpy section in the middle, other than that it's no problem. Took a huge victory whipper.

Very hard off the ground.

My kind of style. Slopey slabby goodness, not a positive hold on it.

Better if you climb at the grade?

Good! Watch swing for second up the top.

The second pitch is not also worthwhile.

'An easy morning of sport climbing', suuure. Trickier now a big hold has broken off at the start? Clean enough, funky fun trad. Lowered off to clean gear.
