Ascents in Mt Maroon by Terry Svingen

Not a bad variant.

Not sure if this is it. If so, it's out by 3 or 4 grades. Pretty tough little corner.

me bad boy......

bummer

You got to be kiddin'. 3 stars, for sure.

1st half is crap, 2nd half is good.

Had a fall on my first attempt.

Second shot. Short, but quite sharp.

Took a decent fall on this one.

Onsight. Low angled arete with good pro.

Onsight. Had to dislodge some loose stuff towards the top, but seem OK now. Not much of a climb, though.

Fun, although some lose stuff towards the top.

Another little ripper climb.

Apart from being attacked by a swarm of bees resulting in me doing the quickest lead-traverse in history with multiple bee stings up both legs, it was quite a fun adventure. Easy climbing, with only two moves at top making it 14.

Followed Mark up this little ripper.

Nicely lead by Mark. Could be really good with a spring clean.

After Lillian

Can never get bored with this climb.

Onsight. I really liked this one.

Onsight. Grotty start, then OK.

onsight with much cleaning on the way.

onsight. Quite worthless, really.

to top

This was great fun. Such a surprise (again).

Climbed it soooo poorly today.

A worthy link-up.

Rested a bit against the chimney, making life slightly easier for myself.

A great variant start.

Continued on with Mark (who's not happy re my deviation) that's the way it goes Mark...LOL

3rd. Some funky moves there.

Hard to call this a redpoint as I only lead the shortest traverse pitch, but anyway.. It's quite a nice climb.

Man, I struggled with my head-space this time. It's still a very enjoyable pitch though.

Exited to the left this time. Quite exciting.

Onsight. A great little problem, too bad it's so short.

Onsight. Only one pitch, then finish up BD 2nd pitch at 16.

With Joe. What a splendid 1st pitch. 3 stars! Onsight 2nd pitch.

Thought I did an onsight FFA, but turned out Rick White went up there some 30-odd years ago.

The first hand crack is actually quite good.

Onsight. Looked average, was magnificent!

Starts well, then crap'ish finish.

Onsight.

The name says it all. After Lillian.

Not the greatest.

Onsight 1st pitch. Mark did 2nd pitch. This is truly a great climb.

Fair enough. Mark lead.

An off-hand jam test-piece. Reminiscent of Choc.-Watcband crux.

Have to be pretty desperate to climb skank like this

with Mark

with Mark

A bit dirty and grunty.

You must be silly to climb utter skank like this....

Short, but fun.
