Accidentally did this instead of Deep Water. Really fun route though.

Fun route up through the chimney.
|
||||||
8 | ★★ Route from Wedding Cake to Cape - with Rach | 300m | ||||
What a day! Slept under the stars at the lookout the night before. Rapping at 6:15. Route finding all went well. Didn't feel like we were slow, but must have been as we didn't get back to the packs at the top of the rap gully till about 10:15. Trudged back to the car because of forecast rain. Said rain did arrive, so ended up driving back to Hobart as well. Mega day!
Stegasaurus was nowhere near 55m the way we did it. Maybe because we skirted around a couple of pillars to find the "squeeze through to the big spike" bit. Worked well. Chimneys were ok and protectable with slings. Especially if you're tall enough to reach the first spike before comitting to the step across. Little Jaycar walky talkies were super helpful. No problems with comms all day. |
||||||
18 | ★★ Jihad - with Rach | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good pitch in a great position. Found it on point for the grade, and good pro. Probably felt a little harder due to backpack etc. Initial split is way bigger than fist sized, but can be protected with small cams on the left face. I used a full double rack on this pitch, but am a wus.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Rain Of Terror - with Rach | 30m | ★ Good | |||
Nice pitch. Straight into it though with some gravelly dolerite face holds.
|
||||||
Sat 17th Feb 2024 - Mount Wellington | ||||||
The Organ Pipes Great Tier | ||||||
15 | ★★ Roaring Forties - with Rach | 80m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great fun! The tree down low could do with a little prune, but the climbing sneaks around it well. Two large movable blocks just before the top out on the second pitch. One is sitting on the last chockstone in the chimney, the other is to the right. Big tall thing you want to bridge off. Be wary. Hard to not use either of them.

Moonlight Buttress Area | ||||||
12 ~14 | ★★ Moonlight Buttress - with Jai | 310m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really great adventure. Rock and climbing was better than I expected. Baked in the sun most of the day. Make sure to take plenty of water. Took double rack from black Totem to #1, extra #0.3, single #2 & #3, hex's, nuts and found this to be almost perfect. Plenty of slings. Maybe just the way I did it, but the bit off the first big ledge felt pretty spicy for a 14.

18 | ★★ Ano's Sojourn - with Rach | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Punchy little climb. Good fun
|
||||||
16 | Funemployment - with Rach | 14m | Average | |||
Bit awkward and off-balance, but good holds appear and keep it ok for the grade.
|

18 | ★★★ Suzerain - with Rach | 32m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Absolute classic! One of the best pure crack pitches around this grade I’ve done on the mountain.

Wed 22nd Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington | ||||||
The Organ Pipes Flange Buttress | ||||||
16 Hard | ★ Pink Car - with Shirley | 50m | ★ Good | |||
Old school 16. Some thrutching, some foliage (but not too much) and some cool moves. Lead both pitches and exited left into the top of Brown Madonna. Beautiful after work adventure with a cloud inversion sunset below. What a place!

Fri 29th Sep 2023 - Squamish | ||||||
The Chief The Apron North Apron | ||||||
5.9 | ★ St. Bernard - with Tom Semple | ★ Good | ||||
Started up intending to do St Vitus' Dance, but got lured into the first pitch of this, and then into the rest of it from the ledge as well. Pitch 3 wasn't straight forward. Dirty, flared, discontinuous cracks made things pretty exciting. Finished up St Vitus' Dance from its pitch 4 up.

||||||
Fri 15th Sep 2023 - Banff | ||||||
Mt Rundle Golf Course Wall | ||||||
5.8 | Yonge Street - with Tom Semple | 300m | Don't Bother | |||
Nice enough day out with some beautiful scenery. Climbing was mostly pretty ordinary and the route seemed to follow the worst terrain it could in some places for the sake of maintaining the grade. Some of the bolting became odd as the route progressed with wierd placements in crap rock or creating cross-loading. Bolts in the low angle middle section were smashed by rockfall but not really needed as you could hike these couple of pitches both up and down.

||||||
Sat 26th Aug 2023 - Lake Louise | ||||||
The Amphitheatre | ||||||
5.8 | ★★ Corner Journey - with Tom Semple | 50m | ★★ Very Good | |||

||||||
18 Hard | ★★ Anchovy Arete - with Chris Speer | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Happy to get through this in the end. Moves are all there, but the gear placements are thoughtful. Wasn’t seeing nut placements well and was getting mega pumped while trying to figure them out.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ Salt Flakes - with Chris Speer | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very enjoyable route. Steep bridging and an exciting finish.
|

17 | ★ The Bow - with Chris Speer | 16m | ★ Good | |||

First climb with the bro in over 3 years. Nice slabbing on the first, airy positions at the end of the second and totally awesome moves on the third. Great route. I would have used a yellow totem near the start of the third pitch if I had it.
|

17 | ★★ Snoober - with Martin Brown | 17m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great route. Gear tricky to place around the corner from the stance, but got a prety good yellow totem higher than the RP. Still didn't want to fall.
|
||||||
17 18 | ★★ The Danger Hog Shuffle - with Martin Brown | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Tricky body tension moves up the scoop. Super grippy rock saves the day! Got myself into a bit of a pickle mid crux, but stuck a deadpoint move to get through. Exciting!
|

The Organ Pipes Northern Buttress | ||||||
20 | ★ Reluctance - with Chris Speer | 36m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Enjoyable moves the whole way, but as others commented, the difficulties are really confined to one sequence. Protection with small cam is ok if the flake stays attached.
|

Wed 27th Apr 2022 - Lowdina | ||||||
19 | ★★★ Something Scurrilous - with Chris Speer | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome climb! Varied, sustained and probably spot on for the grade. That block though! Quite scary and I think should be treated with caution. Almost got my shoe stuck in a jamb.

18 | ★★★ Suicide Sadness - with Jeroen | 60m | ★★★ Classic | |||

The Organ Pipes Bulging Buttress | ||||||
17 | ★★ Cracked Pepper - with Erika | 46m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very good! Only let down is the occasional suspect rock/boulder. But I felt you could avoid using them for the most part. Exciting section up to the tree of the first pitch. Second pitch is just awesome. Lead both pitches.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ Indian Summer - with Erika | 49m | Average | |||
Did the first pitch via the variant up the front of the ridge. Great it you like climbing stacks of Lego blocks or jenga towers. Would go the corner next time. Second pitch had some nice moves, but also marred by putting gear behind detached blocks to try and avoid a runout off the belay. Lead both pitches.
