Ascents as Tick, Solo, First ascent, Lead or First free ascent as trad by Match

This is a very fun route! The gear is good, the climbing on the upper two pitches is excellent if you are a corner conisuer.

Alec's first multipitch!

Pitch 1: and 2 are your standard mountains horizontal face trad. Onsite.

Pitch 3: I guess after the rain this week there was 5 key holds on the Crux of this pitch that were wet. Still climbable you just have to do a harder sequence. The crux is superfun on this pitch!

Fell off on the onsite. Fell off second shot due to the dampness Lowered to the base of the crux and went to the top so overlaping 1 sit.

Pitch 4: Another wet hold 😞 Second shot placing This was a rad corner pitch!

This route is still climbable even if the holds are damp!

Stoked to get the 24 pitch done on my 6th pitch of the day 🙌

This route was our team's most stylish ascent of the first 6th months of 2023. It conveys pure adventure so close to home.

Another scenario where Frothy suggests an obscure non repeated route, and I pay it off, then a month later he suggests it again I'm half interested. Then the 3rd time I take the bait. aha

Fun day out with Paul and Jared. my gri gri decided to stop locking for 200m abseil in.....

P1 was a bit choss than a 10m long traverse over a precarious washing machine-sized boulder.

P2 had some great climbing but was heady on 2nd for sure.

P3 Don't fuck up getting to the first bolt

P4 short but good movements, the cam at the crux blocks where your hand wants to go.

P5 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts

P6 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts to a vertical garden boulder crux.

Bolts: Vintage rusty bash-in carrots placed at an angle to instil confidence that the rust will hold you

Psych: high except for Jared who was not a fan of the jumaring options.

Rock quality: ehh

My first Katoomba cliffs route.

I've always seen this wild looking system of rock and wanted to try it. Rain protected aswell.

Moss then Choss is the best way to describe this adventure. we used double 60ms and a double rack to 0.75 with triples of #1 #2 #3 with x1 #4.

The first 3 pitches were your standard dirty cracks which were wet for us

The grade 20 Pitch is not one where you want to blow the crux and you will more than likely deck. (select the tallest member of your party for this pitch so they can throw in a nut to protect the crux.

The turtle beach pitch was seaside getaway I was hoping for! which lead to Plastic Beach (belay of P6).

Where Ange backed off the last pitch and I didn't want to have a go due to the terrifying nature of the pitch.

So we got Stubbsy and Sean to drop us a rope.

As I recovered our gear from the pitch this morning I am incredibly happy with our choice.

Rest day support mission, We were originally going to climb out at Raid and EMAHD area however a grumpy truckiethwarted that plan.

So car to car left at 11:30 back by 6pm

I had a few sits on the 25, 1 sit on the 23 and the rest clean seconding.

Great work Ange!

a last minute adventure.

and a brilliant one keen to get back for the full tick.

Ange bloody killed it going for her first attempts.

we didn't do the first and last pitch 25 2 sits 23 1 sit 22 clean 21 clean

so much fun and way better than aiding it haha

BM winter skills climbing course

Great to tick this tower of the list only pitch two of the free route.

Mike too a huge whipper on the second pitch

Raging waters on the tote today supper awesome climbing.

Regarding the missing hanger I have added a bolt plate and a tightened nut. This is a temporary fix

If the next people on the tote bring a 10mm hanger and nut to swap it out that would be great!

seconding dave a carbon copy of man overboard great gear the whole way.

sweet sweet aid practice! looks super fun to free!

Samarkand sundays! Get around it! Total flail fest to practice aiding. Boy this line its overhung it is so cool!!! Pretty aid able all clean gear. Stubbs took a 15m whip on the last pitch at 10pm blowing 3 pieces. Haha Loose.

Last lap of the day.

Another morning send! great climbing great gear should be more popular!

Birthday send with Renee after spending the night on the portaledge above Bell bird Wall . P1 The crack system climbs really well with a fun little crux plenty of feet. P2 a bit traversy from the belay but the step arete moves (protected by a bolt) make up for this. P3 Is contrived fun, If you exit to the left facing the valley.

A big day up Australia's newest big wall route.

Left the car at 5:23am from Perry's Lookdown and within 20 minutes of walking I rolled my ankle badly however we maintained a cracking pace to the O Tree and started climbing by 8am.

First 9 pitches climbed nicely and we were able link most pitches with our 67m rope.

passing the 11 o'clock pitch (P9) at 10:50am

Our pace then slowed on the next 5 pitches with a lil bit of excitement on the Pebble Pitch.

Finial 5 pitches I was feeling a bit worn down but we thrutched through them. (scary moment on P18 well above a bolt and a hold snapped on me )

Topped out and climbed pitch 20 on the way back to the car.

Outstanding views from P16 up

Car to car 14hrs and some change.

Thanks Will Vidler for putting up with my sub-par banter!

Cheer for all the effort of putting this line up! Michael Law Eugene Mak Jeffrey Crass

Also for reference the emergency bottles of water are still full

Quick exit rather than hiking out haha

Great fist jams, good gear off the ground. Well worth doing. good lead Dave!

Sandy but interesting

great climb, slow due to party size. start of the 3rd pitch is a bit hard for the grade. Greers first trad multi!

a very polished climb with a very tricky crux. good pro at the crux however the top is quite run out.

First Trad lead pre placed gear.
