Ascents in Barrenjoey as various tick types by Phil Ward

Nice smeary, fingery between BR 1 and 2. Overhang at top also a good challenge.

Really easy going - would be a good lead for a novice.

An easy romp - perfect for beginner lead.

Very thin start then easy sustained climbing. The variant finish is much easier than E, but is more run-out without the standard route's top bolt.

Loads of bomber hand holds. Good clean fun.

The cam placement mentioned in the guide looked pretty flakey to me, which is a great pity because this line has all the makings of a total classic. Oh, for a bolt!

Can't say I'm really sold on this one - doesn't have the 'flow' that a lot of better climbs in the area have. Of course, YMMV.

The juggiest holds known to man.

Loads of bomber hand holds. Good clean fun.

Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

Tough from the very beginning to the second bolt. Super fingery and unprotected start.

A very thin start past the first two bolts - but he is the smearer after all!

Typical of most climbs on this wall - fingery slabs between horizontal breaks for cams. Nice moves.

Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

Sparse difficult beginning moves, but great for it!

Flared, sandy breaks make for some dubious cam placements - you're happier when you clip those bolts!

Easy climbing just like Jezebel - not as well protected though.

Unprotected all the way to the bolt before the top-out. The microcam placement the guide mentions is wishful thinking.

Hand jams in the breaks and thin on the face

Run out at the top, but it's pretty easy up there

Thin and slabby - run out and desperate at times. This route is 18 not 15 as it says here!

Crack climbing. A great sequence of technical moves - top stuff!

Easy to stray off route - and that makes things much harder!

Interesting move in middle - challenging for a 13.

This one rates 1-star - honestly, I dont see it. Too short and too easy.

Chimney start and fairly sparse on the face from then on. Short and no great rhythm.

Some tough fingery sections and not a lot of opportunities for pro. Easy to get a wicked pump on with a rather unsettling amount of line out.

Excellent sustained climbing - well protected.

An excellent climb for someone new to leading.

Like MS and LI on this wall, Enterprise is the finger-master. Tough start but great climbing.

Pro gets sparse towards the top - have to sling the large dinner plate flake or make longish ascent unprotected. Excellent footholds and bomber cam placement soon after, though.

Climb partner took a hefty whipper off the far side of the traverse - had to take over lead. If you needed a reason to go out an buy a helmet, this is it.

Get inventive with the pro because it's a bit sparse to the first bolt

Bring some big pro and wedge yourself in

Lots of breaks for cams. Crux lies in top half, with section of sparse fingeriness.

Very chossy - and not worth a star

Great climb with interesting overhang start at cave. Pro is good - can see this being lead.

A pleasant climb - route is nice and clean compared to other similar low grades.

Interesting overhang start to first BR. Long sparse dome near top an interesting challenge - go left! Belay position on top of triangular block is a little awkward but gives a great view.

The climb is nothing to write home about - the view from the top is worth seeing.

No pro across the traverse - just have to sack-up and punch it!

Sex... in rock form.

Good bit of chimney at the top.

You're right, it isn't your average cab sav!

No pro across the traverse - just have to sack-up and punch it!

Crackalicious

Enjoyable and well protected.

Lots of breaks for cams. Crux lies in top half, with section of sparse fingeriness.

Easy climb that obviously doesn't get much traffic. Holds are a bit sandy.

Enterprise is the finger-master. Tough start but great climbing.

One of the more challenging chimneys at Barrenjoey. Good fun.

Crimpy in places but mostly bomber.

Crack climbing. A great sequence of technical moves - top stuff!

Great climb with interesting overhang start at cave. Get grunting!

Pro gets sparse towards the top - have to sling the large dinner plate flake or make longish ascent unprotected. Excellent footholds and bomber cam placement soon after, though.

Sparse and smeary in places with some bomber underclings to rest. Recommend a 0.5 cam in left crack to prevent decking.
