20 20 R | ★ Kidney Stoned - with Steven Bickers, Stuart Boyd | 18m | ★ Good | |||
A long pumpy airy traverse, heaps fun! Just watch out for the loose and cracking block at the start of the heel hooking traverse!
|
||||||
23 | ★ Verdensrom - with Steven Bickers, Stuart Boyd | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Barely made it onto the broken hold with the tick for the right hand and just about pulled through the last crimps. But made it.
Hard 23!!
|

|
||||||
23 | ★★★ Weaveworld - with Steven Bickers, Stuart Boyd | 25m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
This climb deserves the the 3 (or 4) stars it gets! Did the original start from the shared bolt on Two Tribes, much nicer than the direct start.

Fri 3rd Nov 2017 - Flat Rock | ||||||
West Flank | ||||||
20 21 | ★ Fat Boy - with Stuart Boyd | 15m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
A fun addition to the wall. Probably a bit soft for 21. Reachy moves through the lower crux, probably not 21.
|
||||||
23 21 | ★ Fickle Fission - with Stuart Boyd | 17m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Super-duper thin climbing! Ultra delicate moves through the crux! Which I'm assuming follows the draws around right through the 2 big pockets before you hit the crux, Mike? If you are short add 2 grades, if you can reach it, probably still hard 22 slabbing.
The direct version probably goes at 24 through some finger pockets and micro slopers.
|
||||||
21 20 | ★★ Alpha Decay - with Stuart Boyd | 17m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Super thin and delicate slab climbing. Loved it! But possible a shock for those climbing at the grade. It's most likely a 21.
|
||||||
18 | ★ MOAB - with Stuart Boyd | 20m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Delicate moves diagonally left then trying to avoid the escape onto the arĂȘte moving right to the rings.

Great climbing over the two roofs. Shame the tops of most of these climbs are a bit easier than the guts.
I found this 24 easier than Uranium-234 (23)?

Super delicate slab mantle moves from pockets, to start. Main course of great flake climbing with a dessert of reachy moves to a funky finish. Deserves 2 stars!
|
||||||
20 | ★ Yellow Cake - with Stuart Boyd | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Again a great start leading into some funky moves around a bulge. Finishes easily though..
|
||||||
20 | ★ Nuclear Wasteland - with Stuart Boyd | 25m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cranking start into solid moves and delicate positions. Then fun jug moves left and up through easier ground.
|
||||||
17 16 | ★ Nuclear Novice - with Stuart Boyd | 15m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
Great climbing, marred only by the rings set back way too far. Could have put them on the face to the right.
Probably a little harder than 16.
|
||||||
20 19 | ★ Nuclear Error - with Stuart Boyd | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Delicate slab middle and some racey moves to finish. Only marred by the easy unprotected start slab.
|
||||||
18 17 | ★★ Dirty Bomb - with Stuart Boyd | 15m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Reachy in places and moved that are harder than a 17! Probably only 13 metres as well.

For some reason I think I have done this climb before.. Alzheimer's onsight maybe.

Fun addition to the Ravine. Delicate slab start into fun face climbing.

Difficult to read at first but its all there, for a tricky warmup.
|
||||||
6a+ | ★★ Snake / Nicht hinauslehnen - with Henk Dam, Leon Nielsen | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Snake your way up the snakey features! Good but thin holds and a little thin on the feet at times. Nice moves through the overhang at the end.

Good moves, easier to read and several options for the top out overhang.
|

5a | Salsa direkt - with Leon Nielsen, Henk Dam | 15m | Average | |||

"Stick clipped" the insanely high 1st bolt. Easy climbing up to it and ultrafine flake edges above it.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Sophie - with Chad H | 16m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Delicate, reachy balancy slab arĂȘte work. Did it above some bouldering pads to take some insanity out of getting to the 1st bolt.

A sandbag for a 22! I have climber easier 24s!
|

21 | ★★ Right Caliber - with Stuart Boyd | 18m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
More 21 fun.
Even more like a 21 if you finish the route diagonally to the rap rings.

20 | ★ Iron Arms Pitch 2 - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Linked this up with Prince of Persia into one pitch (60m rope).
Climb out from chains is still 21, then it eases off to a nice 20 with reachy moves to jugs!
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Prince Of Persia - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 15m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pumpy 21 rising climb on good holds + some tricky moves at first, then thinner holds to rings.

Eureka Area Clean Cut Walls | ||||||

|

22 23 | ★★ Trouble Cut - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 14m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really nice moves! Great traverse out to a tricky mantle problem, then some powerful moves, easier ground and another good move on the little overhang.
Probably a little soft for 23.
|
||||||
22 21 | ★ Liberal Party - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 14m, 8 | Average | |||
OK start, nice slabbing and then a vicious move through the little overhang to finish on some average handholds! Last move felt harder than 21, very pumpy!
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Upper Cut - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 20m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||

19 | ★★ Archies Arete - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 35m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great climbing again! Enjoyed it more this time around in the cooler weather.
A refreshing change not having to pull on loose rocks & blocks!
|
||||||
18 | ★★ The Perfect Extraction - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 40m, 18 | Average | |||
Fun long climbing marred again by loose blocks and loose sections of cliff (with bolts!!!) that are accordion-ing out of the wall!
Someone needs to go in with a hammer & crowbar and clean it up. Probably will have to rebolt some of it. |
||||||
21 | Man Overboard - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 24m, 12 | Don't Bother | |||
Great start! Horror show for the rest!
Heaps of loose blocks and rocks and even some loose blocks with bolts on it!!! (someone is going to die one of these days!)
Glad I made it down without disturbing any of it.
Climb delicate people, better yet avoid this one!
|

20 | ★★ Wha Wha Knee - with Sarunas Jurgilas | 23m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool start and nice delicate slab climbing. Watch out for loose blocks at the top!

Traverses considerably, be prepared to have 'fun' back cleaning, or have the 2nd clean it.
