Matto Grosso The Leviathan | ||||||
21 | ★ No Antidote for Floating in Yuddy Pale Blue Viral Infections - with deano | Average | ||||
Took a few goes to get the crux move. Pre-clipped 2nd bolt.
Easy holds after 2nd bolt lead to the left, but continuing up to the right of the 3rd bolt makes a much better climb.
|
||||||
22 | Power in the Blood - with deano | 7m | Average | |||
Solid climbing for first two bolts, with traverse moves making it feel longer, but then it's all over.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ Psoriasis - with deano | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Last climb of the day, fingers didnt have enough in them for the start.
|
||||||
22 | ★★ No Antidote - with deano | 15m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Much pumpier than the Chessboard. Glad to have spaced good rests, but still not hanging on by much at the anchors.

Wed 14th Feb 2024 - Mount Wellington | ||||||
The Organ Pipes The Columns | ||||||
20 | ★★ The Shield - with Darren | ★★ Very Good | ||||
I had always heard this was a bit of a testpiece, but apart from one move, I think it's actually easier than Sandy Bay Road. Still, it is a nice climb.
Only needed 2x5BD, 1x4, 1x0.75, 1x0.5 and a large nut. Could eat up plenty more mid-sized cams in the easy stuff after the crux move, but not really needed.

The Organ Pipes The Columns | ||||||
23 | ★★★ Ultrasound - with Alice | 35m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really happy to get this. Climbed the start and traverse much more easily than expected, then came the rests at every opportunity. Even though I wasn't far from popping off a couple of times, I wish the finger crack section was longer. Next time I think I might try traversing in on the Split Column traverse and work my way down towards Ultrahard.
|
||||||
21 | ★★★ Holiday in Cambodia - with Alice | 35m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Climbed it better than a few months ago, but still got pumped. Alice got the onsight.

Sat 20th Jan 2024 - The Monkeys | ||||||
Mad Monkeys | ||||||
22 | ★★ The Etiquette of Violence - with Max | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Not very sustained, with awesome rests at bolts, but plenty of great moves, and would be easy to mess up the sequence in the top crux.
|
||||||
23 | ★ Give Me Convenience or Give me Death - with Max | 20m, 6 | Don't Bother | |||
Did the LH variant start. Got it, but not easily, and then discovered the bulge was really pumpy but managed to get through it.
|
||||||
21 | ★★ There's a Cat in My Alleyway - with Max | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbs really well, and enough to get a bit of a pump working.
|
||||||
Sat 6th Jan 2024 - Mount Wellington | ||||||
The Organ Pipes The Columns | ||||||
19 | ★★ Sassanach - with Alice, Shirley | 50m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Currently quite filthy, and the bottom two shrubs could do with large trims.
But really good solid climbing the whole way, and the most awesome knee jams I've ever done. Would be great to get more traffic on this one.

Sun 31st Dec 2023 - Mt Blackwood Summit | ||||||

Really cool, and felt fairly easy for the grade. No really defined crux move, just a bit sustained in the top half.
|
||||||
19 | ★★★ Who Among Them - with Darren | 35m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Really can't ask for much more.

22 | ★★ Blue Suede Clues - with Deano | 18m, 6 | ★ Good | |||
Some really fun moves and a couple of ways to do the crux. Possibly on soft side of 22?
|
||||||
18 | ★★ A Clue Or Two - with Deano | 16m | ★★ Very Good | |||
24 | ★ Cluedoo Child - with Deano | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Really damn pumpy and powerful!
Best to stick clip 2nd bolt and not mess up the start.
Probably need two more days to get this one.

20 | ★★ Skyfall - with Max | 40m | ★ Good | |||
Quite a lot of decent climbing, but definitely a little contrived in places, and only just sufficient gear!

Definitely not 2 stars, but there is some nice climbung between the contrived line and climbing up another route (with separate bolts) several times

21 | ★★★ Light Fingered Maddison - with Janet | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome little climb. First thing in morning, got really bad flash pump faffing on the bottom part and couldn't remember if top half was hard so was sure I was going to fall,

Very sharp, several loose blocks.
|

18 | ★★ The Danger Hog Shuffle - with Deano, Alice | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good and unobvious. More climbing in it than expected.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ Rudge - with Deano, Alice | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Intimidating start for a 16. Easy after the first 5m.
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Lumbar Cruncher - with Deano, Alice | 23m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Thought I was on the 'unescapable' direct version, but apparently I accidentally followed the logical line and escaped. Not great, but hard moves and good for a pump.
|
||||||
18 | Lithium low down - with Deano, Alice | 25m, 1 | Average | |||
A couple of ok moves, but overall pretty average.

22 | ★★★ Drury Line - with Janet, shirley | 25m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome moves the whole way. Crimp fell off in middle of getting around 1st roof, now hold is bigger but less positive. There must be an easier way to do the first roof part if it's 22!
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Mother Earth - with Janet | 17m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thin hands felt hard!

14 | ★★ Things to do While Waiting for the Apocalypse - with Janet | 20m | ★ Good | |||
Pleasant enough, but not really sure why it gets two stars.

The rope was up...
|

21 | Captain Barnacles - with Sammi, Janet | 18m, 7 | Average | |||
Really nice moves in the first half, but ends up as a ramble in the top half.
