Ascents in Nowra as various tick types by George Broadfoot

An epic journey since Luke Magill and I were eyeballing these potential lines many years back. This year I got right into training for this beast, I even tried to learn to do bat hangs. In the end it just required getting a bit fitter and a tad stronger. The send finally arrived after quite a few punts from the lip, each time getting that little bit further.. trying to visualise without adding to the pressure, trying to enjoy each burn because climbing is meant to be fun. In the end it was fun, the whole process including training and figuring out the beta. Dangling from the big pockets on the headwall on the final burn is a unique memory, along with lots of great days at the crag with good people. THANKYOU ROCK CLIMBING!!

Yes! I was hoping to find an easier line to the top of the wall and here it is. Still 2 projects to go headin further left, but this line stands alone as a steep prow of quality rock, ground dropping away 'neath your feet the whole way. Unique and fun. I'm very glad this section of climbing is now open for everyone to enjoy- get on it!!

Very good once you give it a good dusting. Previous attempts had flailed, today it all felt pretty smooth!! Much easier in dry conditions! I wish the big cheese boulder wasn't so hard so it could keep going...!

Hard for 28! Oh wait, it's 27... thanks Mr Bullen! 4 days of work!! Well worth scrubbing up- a fingery test piece on splendid stone.

I finally did the top pitch as well!! I'd rpped down it years agoand inspected the funky crux. Today it was very nice to climb the orange head wall in the afternoon sun. Incredible from bottom to top! What a cool journey

Beautiful! 24 for my money.. Climbed 1st pitch, pulled rope, climbed 2nd pitch with marcus on belay from the ground. Just made it back down with a 70m rope! Brilliant

Nemesis!! Finally did it with a concentrated effort. Now I must learn to cruise up it so I can try stamp tramp! Cool holds and moves, just so easy to fall off for me! This was a relief

I started up turn your eyes so I didn't have to sweep the sand off! Great climbing up the final headwall, for years I thought the move was too heinous! Excellent

Repeat. One of the best!

Awesome!! 3 sessions. Classy sequence, took awhile to find the right balance with the heel hook to snatch the slopey pocket. Fell high on the second last attempt! Memorable.

I forgot how good this route is! 10th anniversary (or close enough). So good to climb without any redpoint jitters and just enjoy it:)

Brilliant bouldery moves from start to finish. Doesn't get much traffic but it should! Classic and hard for 26 for sure

Epic mental battle.. Maybe my longest redpoint project to complete! Excruciating yet ultimately satisfying which is why we keep coming back I suppose..

Excellent! Super fun moves, very satisfying I don't think it's harder than frosty so 29 for this crag I reckon. Good to take a break from the beatings on Parasite!

Powerful and fingery! So much so that I never really thought i'd get up it. When you finally manage to move upwards on these moves after many years they are really satisfying!

Many seasons worth of effort. The route is good

This is a fantastic line! Really nice angle, fun climbing with a cool last move that feels much better in cold conditions! Not sure if the top is worth investing time in to.. looks heinous.
