Ascents as various tick types by Kurt Doherty

TR up for Mum and Dad. Mum sat once on her first go, Dad flashed it on lead, then mum sent it on TR.

More warming up. Matt put the gear on. TR up for mum and dad

Warming up. So dirty it felt like I was participating in an archaeological excavation.

I really quite enjoyed this one. Good climbing for the grade, and pretty consistent too; built a nice warmth in the arms. On the hard end of 15, maybe 16.

Also pretty enjoyable. More consistent than the first route with some decent movement for the grade.

Sneaky morning session with Dad while he’s on holidays. Didn’t have much time, so toured him through some of the good routes in his grade range. I accidentally pulled the rope on him for this one, so he had to lead it. He got the flash, looking pretty solid the whole way.

After Matt’s onsight. Actually pretty good

After Matt's onsight. Okay climbing for the grade with a few loose bits of rock.

Cleaning gear after the others. Dad onsighted, Matt flashed and Mum had one sit on lead. Didn't think the climbing lived up to the position.

Interesting start. Matt flashed, Mum top-roped with a rest at the last bolt and Dad flashed.

Ick. Alex linked this with pitch 5.

Okay. Typical Tibro slab.

Cleaning gear after Matt's onsight and Dad's flash. Nice and long with a few sections that make you think.

Cleaning gear after Dad's onsight and Mum's flash. Awesome to see them both lead this without resting! Matt crushed it on second too.

Much more interesting than Electronic Flag. Such bomber gear on this.

Super busy crag today. TR setup for Sarah. She smashed it.

Thought this was a great little route. Quick run up to clean gear after Mum, Dad and Sarah all sent first try.

TR setup. Was damp, but most other routes were waterfalls.

Pretty cool climbing. A lot more straight forward than Devil's Wart, so I guess it's on the easier end of 15's.

Warm up, but not very warming. Very cold day one cloud that blocked the sun and lots of bitter wind. Great route though.

Warming up.

Warm up and TR setup.

Felt pretty hard for a 15. Definitely more difficult than Irukandji—possibly a grade more difficult. Still, a cool little route.

Checking this area out ahead of the The Rock's Brooyar Rocktrip in July. Not too bad. The cutout would intimidate some who are climbing around this level, but everything is there.

Way better than Bad Blues. This Trad thing is neat haha. Super keen to come back and give Iron Mandible a go!

First trad lead! Woo! Utterly forgot how to climb for the first 4 or so meters, then gradually woke up and got into the groove.

Warm up + cleaning gear. Always nice.

Cleaning after Cameron's onsight.

Setting up a top rope for the rest of the crew. Start felt pretty tough for the grade, the the upper wall is pretty fun jugging.

Cleaning gear.

Great route in a sweet spot. That scoop looks tantalising. Setup top rope for others.

Not as nice as HDZ, but still fun.

Gear on and TR setup for Sarah, but it was too cold and she didn't want to climb it. Luke cleaned it and we bailed for the sun at Shipley.

Gear on for family. Still seems hard for a 15

Easy, but could be tough for the grade; hard to tell at this level.

Really nice little climb. KP's easy routes could learn a thing or two from this.
