Ascents as Flash or Top rope flash by Richard Pattison

Tremendous, a unique and freaky climb on a lot of bizarre rock balls. I lead the crux 2nd pitch, the balls get progressively smaller and I was pretty nervous above the 2nd bolt until I reached the large crack. Great experience.

Fun couple of hours away from the throng of hikers at the Fisher Towers parking lot.

I made a 2 minute movie of the climb here:

Plenty of tourists taking photos from the parking lot!

We hiked-in on our 2nd day after flying-in from Sydney, just Mel & I on the mountain, pretty good weather... what's all the talk about wind & waiting? Yeah, OK, we were about to find out!

I have a 3 min movie here:

A nice day out with great views and solitude, but fairly poor climb - discontinuous, short pitches (~10m) interspersed with scrubby ledges and boulder scrambling, lots of loose rock and dead branches.

Highlights: Run-out slab to start P4 was nice albeit scary, best moves were the 4m of arete on P5. P7 has a hard under-cut bouldery start for grade 14. Crux P8 maybe only grade 15, straightforward 3D chimney.

Just Mel & I on the mountain, excellent experience. I have 5 min movie with maps, topo & beta here

Just Mel & I on the mountain, great experience during our 4 day mini expedition. I have a 5 min movie here with maps, topo & beta:

Smelly toilets at the refuge, so we continued up to camp on the shoulder above. Maybe 10 parties summitted with us. I have a 5 min movie with maps, topo & beta here:

Such an aesthetically pleasing ridge. I have a 5 min movie with maps, topo & beta here:
