Finally the planets lined up and we got a chance for a attempt on this beast.
Pulled past the very start on the tufa pitch and then tried to Onsight the rest of the pitch, pumped off second last bolt so red-lined. Lead and second clean the rest of the line...
A great long adventure route 350m+, with some awesome pitchs and lots of good climbing, some of the best easy pitchs I have done in the gorge you just have to get to them.
The climb is reasonably clean but plenty of loose rock. Do it.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Screaming Tribesman | 280m, 1 | ★ Good | |||
Just seconded paul on the 23 trad pitch. Still very pumpy but not as bad as I remember, lots of good gear if you can hang around to place it.
|
||||||
22 | ★★★ Iron Curtain | 130m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Repeat. Used as access for to asteroids.
I struggle on the crux of the second pitch and the start is still hard but other then that the climb felt a little easier on the whole. Link 3 & 4 for the mega pitch. |

This was taipans parting gift for the couple of days hard work and average weather.
After a couple quick working shots on the crux and a good brush I sent through the crux pitch and then went on to Onsight the top. A climb that will stay with me forever and a fight that left me feeling totally wrecked. Amazing linking the top two pitchs. |
