Ascents as Onsight or Onsight solo by Mark Gamble

The general consensus seems to be that this is the route.

Had to have a go at this whilst in the neighborhood. Certainly lives up to the reputation: some of the biggest holds in S.E. Qld.

The hollow flake is a bit of a worry. Otherwise not bad climbing.

Some 16. I think I've done grade 12s that were harder. Certainly The Bard.

Sweet climb. Saul good.

Nice climbing.

Just that tad easier to make that first bolt. But nice moves after that.

Good to be back on rock after a 4mth break. One of the best 12s I've ever done: good rock, nice moves, nice location.

Pretty easy. Nice moves.

Not a 15, perhaps 13. Muldoon was more challenging.

Good rock, similar rock to The Caves Route. Spectacular views.

Very similar climbing to Lee's Bulbasaur.

Not a bad easy route. Didn't help that I did it in my hiking boots.

Good move at the top.

Very easy going.

An OK route, somewhat over-graded tho.

Nice route. A tad over-graded.

This was a very good introduction to lead climb again, after all these years. Worn-out old fart that I am.

Very nice.

Justin belaying. Grade 8 is way over the top. More like a 4-5.

Pretty straight forward, nice rock & nice climbing at the grade. Will have to lead it on trad.

Good quality climb for KP, but too short. Crux move is pretty straight forward for a 10.

Proudie's new routes. This was a joy, with good moves & gear the whole way. A tad over graded, I'd say more like an 8.

Tricky crux had me careening back & forth for a while before nailing the sequence.

Set out to do a 30m 12, ended up with a 50m 14. Set up a belay half way up - Brian finished. The gear was pretty good on it. MEGA exposure.

With Ron & Terry. Terry lead p1. The run-outs on p2 were pretty sobering stuff and the tattered old rope anchors was even scarier!

Ezy pezy, nice holds & moves.

Some sexy moves coming out of the cave. Wouldn't like to have fallen whilst pulling up the rope to clip. Sharp crystals on the top section trashed my legs. Steve did well to 2nd cleanly.

Couple of sexy moves at the lip, wouldn't like to have fallen while I was pulling up the rope to clip. Some very sharp crystals on the top section. Steve did well to 2nd cleanly.

With Steve. Been saving a trad onsight for a while now, only needed to clip the one bolt out of 12! Some nice moves on it.

Some sexy moves on this one had me quaking in my boots! When it's all over I thought it a bit soft for the grade, perhaps 16.

Very soft for the grade; I've done 10s that were as hard as this.

I'd like to meet the chap who said "difficult exit", that's an understatement if ever. Almost gave up on the onsight, but fear of my belayer falling asleep wating forever with boredom urged me on. Dan & Ron made it look easy, the buggers.

I'd like to meet the chap who said: "difficult exit", now that's an understatement. Almost gave up on the onsight, but fear of my belayer falling asleep waiting for his whimpy lead to finish the crux, urged me on. Dan & Ron made 2nding look easy, the buggers.

What a pity these routes are so short, best moves on any 16, except maybe Watch Tower Corner. Felt like a 15, similar overhang to WIW at KP. Zarah belayed & 2nded.

Got pretty pumped at the crux near the top. I reckon the RPs would have held in a fall. Dave 2nded.

With Dave. Pretty good quality beginner route.

With Dan. Good quality route with nice rock & moves.

With Dan. Good quality rock & nice moves on this one.

Spotted this one when we did WDOP recently. Some adrenalin moves here & there with gear in the friable rock.

Pretty straight forward, but well protected crux. Alex from QUT belayed & 2nded.

First two Ps are nice, the next are just not worth the pain & effort of it. With Terry & Lillian.

What a ripper line, beautiful flake to layback all the way up. Lindsey 2nded, but we bailed here, due to lateness in the day.

With Geoff. What a ripper line - the broken rock and bold start spoil it a bit, but definitely a winner.

Tried to lead it trad only, but had to clip the 3rd bolt in the end. Some 10, more like a 12.

Dave belayed & 2nded.Short but sweet.

Dave lead it, I then lowered him & lead it myself = all trad gear.

Dave belayed. Used the 1st bolt, then didn't clip another till the anchor, good trad all the way.

Last one of the day & I worked myself into a tiff at the 2 cruxes, got there in the end. Dave = p2

With Dave. Pitch 1 was where all the action is, a pretty solid 14. Thought otherwise during the ascent, but in retrospect, it's an old school 14. Some thought provoking moves at the crux. Dave=P2

Dave belayed, nice beginner route.

With Terry. My first trad lead at KP! Nicely spotted by Alex. Plenty of gear all the way, most of it good.

One of the easiest on the cliff.

First bolt is a bit of a stretch, but it's all good after that.

Terry belayed. With my long reach, it meant I could reach the jug, so it felt like a 14.

With U.K. Dave. I lead P1. I was thinking I'd have to dog the crux move on P2, out thru the overhang, but it was just the one move, then it's jug city. Some go-ey moves on P1 for a 13.
