East Face | ||||||
16 | ★ Minty Freshness - with intan | Average | ||||
Seemed like not much holds or protection on the face. I ended up hugging the arette all the way up. Didn’t feel like a 16 but maybe it was harder if you stayed on the left.
|
||||||
13 | ★★ Feeling Groovy - with intan | 10m | ||||
Unprotected crux before the first placement at 5m. I would have Bouldered up to the left and set some gear to protect the start.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Stepping Up - with intan | |||||
Really struggled on this one! Very fingery and balancing moves!
|
||||||
12 | ★ Corn Flakes - with intan | |||||
Pretty classy, great opportunity to lay back. Bomber pro the whole way. Very chilled

The Z Bend Adventure Wall | ||||||
15 | ★★ 9-6=3 | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Actually pretty cool, only wet at the bottom. Overhanging towards the top, but good holds and decent pro.

The Z Bend Phantom Wall | ||||||
15 | ★★★ Wombat Amnesia - with steve | 30m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good fun and well protected. The first bolt could probably be stick clipped from the belay, but I used a cam to protected the first move up to the bolt and then removed the cam to reduce rope drag. Come back down via the gully to the left of the climb.

Sat 8th Jul 2017 - Kalbarri | ||||||
The Z Bend The Amphitheatre | ||||||
16 | ★★ Pissing in the Gene Pool - with steve | 82m | ★★ Very Good | |||
First pitch is actually pretty good with good pro (though I threw down a couple of loose rocks). You can protect the traverse crux by reaching over and setting a #2 camalot. The other pitches were very chilled out but a good intro to multi-pitch trad. Scariest part was setting up the anchor at the top of the scramble traverse.

Meh, I should have gone right at the flake for brother hood, but I didn;t have a big cam to go behind it.

Great moves, pity it's so short. First move is really hard! Had to use the rope.
|
||||||
16 | ★★★ Birth Canal - with intan and michelle | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really exciting, any bigger than me and you wouldn't fit! Looks like there are two ways to go, I stayed deep in the crack and went straight up to the anchors (squeeze all the way). Intan and Michelle moved out to the front of the crack where there was more space.

|
||||||
17 | Adventure Line - with Intan | 30m, 5 | Don't Bother | |||
I don't think I was on route as there was no 17 moves. I think staying further right would have helped. Also loose rocks just below the anchors.

18 | What a Carrot Can Do For You | 14m, 4 | ★ Good | |||
Messed up the onsight messing around with bolt plates on the second clip. Good climb, pity about the traverse to adjacent rings to finish.
|
||||||
20 | ★ Force Projection | 12m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Wow, awesome powerful moves. Feels like an indoor climb. Will red point next time. Probably a bit easy for the grade.
|
||||||
18 | ★ Mind & Sex De-Addiction Centre | 12m, 4 | ||||
Good project, tricky movements. 4th clip might be a bit bold. Look forward to red point.Top out is a bit crappy and tree is not a good belay, I'd probably move left to the force projection rings.

Fuzzbucky Wall | ||||||
18 | ★ Equilibrium | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
A bit wet at the bottom. Much easier if you use the left face, staying right is possible and approximately to grade. Penultimate clip is a little run out (the rest of the climb is very well protected).

Technical. Probably the easiest and simplest way to the top of the main boulder.
|
||||||
14 | ★ Jaundice | 8m | ★ Good | |||
Suprisingly enjoyable. Probably not worth bringing out the trad rack for though.
|

10 | Mini Me | 6m | Average | |||
Don't bother with gear.

First clip high, but felt safe. Nice route.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Quiver | 45m, 4 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really good climb, cool slabby moves with tiny edges. First bolt runout but safe. You need a .3/.4 cam and a very long runner to place protection under the overlap, but i didn't bother.
|
||||||
14 | ★★ Fuzzy Bear | 50m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
Lead three times, first time with a backpack, to get people back up to the top. Nice easy climb, distance between bolts is only long over super easy terrain.

13 | ★ Anthrax Ripple - with Mike | 37m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Best beginner lead at WCH. Good protection, easy and the crux moves are protected by bolts.

15 | ★★ Raven - with Mike | 220m, 35 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very atmospheric, great views and awesome cave. Climbing is easy (crux 13/14? and run outs are no problem because of the easy moves. Mikes first multi-pitch! Scramble descent is much easier than rappelling. We went left (east).
We were back in Mount Barker for lunch. I should have ordered their chicken box but the lady asked me what I wanted before I had a chance to think properly and so I ordered their biggest burger because it was the first thing I saw on the billboard. Disappointing. |
