Ascents in Blue Mountains by Rob Barker

olde school (runout) but one of the better climbs on the wall.

flashed P1 then lowered for partner to get P1 clean, then followed him up the whole thing. there's good climbing mixed in and around all the plants.

P1 only - I seemed to like it better then others, it is hard for the grade.

OS P1, 2nd P2. Loved the exposure on P2, yeah, i know it's like grade 12 but was the best pitch of the day.

Leap frogging with Gaby, I lead pitches 1, 3 and 6 (we linked 4 and 5) The variant finish is well worth while - best pitch and exposure of the whole route.

The hell? It's all over the place and really not that much fun but I did get my Elvis on near the top. Not sure I really got to the anchor but lowered off single U bolt that seemed like the end. Awkward climb.

excellent fun, and yes, more like 20. Great holds when you need em, all be them far apart. Deserves more than the 2 out of 5 stars the guidebook gives. Weird ultra-wide U bolt anchor.

has a bit of everything. even got to place a nut down low.

2 shots, no joy.

rather good fun

unimpressed. the start isn't as hard as it looks and the rest of it is rather easy. actually the sit down facing out rest makes it worth doing. Butt Nuggets is a lot more fun.

fell unexpectedly. guess 4th time was not the charm.

21 in 2010 guide, go straight from last bolt to anchors for 21

sustained with a hard finish. I fell a couple moves past my last attempt - this should go next time

fell at the last bolt (i'm going to join the club)

blew the flash by falling off the slab start then worked the rest of it.

still warming up

warm up

pump fest on good holds. climbed to lower anchors only, extension looks like it doesn't see any traffic - that and I was wrecked! first 22 onsight

good warm up for Just Boot It

meh. there are better climbs around this grade just meters away. did it as a cool down. pink point

easy for 22 but 21 in current guide. more technical than Lady Grinning Soul but not as pumpy. really good fun and glad to get a clean lead - took the 'direct' start this time too (stick clipped!!)

excellent crux moves and doesn't let up by much

hard start - would like to call this onsight but I did belay a climber on this about 2 years prior. so it's a flash...

hard off the ground and doesn't let up. worked out the top sequence (beta = heal hooks are gold) but didn't do the bottom clean this time. it will go. what a ride!

stupid little crimp - so close with this shot but nothing left for the day - it will go next time.

fell off three times - last time off the top (big fall but all air) - actually thought we were on Major Tom (23) oops

even easier now that the tree moved... what's up with that?

nice 16

just go straight through crux

this will go next time.

actually a good warm up, starts on big holds that progressively get smaller.

dirty chossy scary fun.

pink point - amazing climb. best 21 i've done

very hard start - thought I had done this one before so 'just' top roped it. d'oh, should have taken the pink point. oh well, next time.
