Ascents climbed between 2013-01-01 and 2013-12-31 as various tick types by Cameron Roy

Lowering through the rings caused super rope twistyness.

Great atmosphere looking over Mollusc Wall. Climbing at bit broken up. I often found myself straying right of the line.

Struggling to find new things to do at Boulder Bridge. Got it second shot, felt more like 19 than 20. Close enough to get a good look at the boulder bridge. Let's hope it lasts for many more years to come.

Tried a variant without touching the "Big Sham" corner or reaching around to "Free and Easy" which felt very contrived and harder than 11.

I agree with Nick Neagle, "Big Sham" and "Sham 'n' Eggs" are the same route.

It's hard to find new things to do at Boulder Bridge. This one isn't much chop.

'Balthazar' is better.

Gymnastic moves, barely independent from Sense of Doubt. In fact I found it easier than Doubt (on toprope, after watching Sofie climb it.)

Awkward, maybe I wasn't doing it "right"

Bouldery start took some sussing, got it clean on the 3rd attempt.

Contrived, too close to Quoll Stroll. Mossy at the top.

Pleasant enough

Well protected.

Mediocre rambling up to wide dirty offwidth and loose rock.

The start is surely the crux.

All right, nothing special. Bit light on protection.

First lead since the ankle injury. Rock not as solid as I remember, gear down low fairly poor.

Challenging, but enjoyably so.

Pretty good, left a smile on my face.

More of the same.

Felt hard at the black streaks! Feels contrived as it's easy to escape left into Dopes at the start, or right up flake for 2nd half. You know when it says "Gary Scott (solo)" that this isn't a good route to lead!

Not sure about this. Found an easier variant starting standing on the boulder to the left, also got up using the crack in the middle of the boulder, but felt very close to Shaft.

Didn't climb above the "weird shaped boulder" - a rope stretcher on top rope. I thought this was very similar to 'Shaft', not worth writing home about.

Pleasant enough. Much easier than 'Granita' - all on toprope though.

They all seemed the same by this stage.

Pleasant enough

Mediocre.

Ankle recovery going well. Enjoyed this. Tough down low and some bulges to make you think up high. Not much gear for the first half.

Negotiating the bush at half height is the biggest challenge.

First climb after the broken ankle. 12 weeks out. Awkward/slight pain pushing up on it.

Got a serious wake up call on this. Apparently I'm a bit of a non-jamming bumbly and thus had to try and layback the crux, which got the blood pumping. It's quite steep for a 13.

Linked 1+2. Low crux was quite strenuous. Got a bit lost on P2 and went too far right, it worked out eventually though.

Some reachy moves, pleasant enough.

I have a dim memory of climbing this before, but I can't be sure. Good climb anyway.

Hard hard hard! Pushed me to my limit. I was stoked when I was through the crux on P1, but there was plenty more to come. Used all draws and cams on P1, used all draws on P2. Messed up double ropes on P2 twisting them around each other. Step across scary and hard. Bottomless chimney challenging! Led all the way up to French Crack - the last overhang isn't easy either.

Linked P1+2. Start fairly strenuous. Second pitch nice. Third pitch superb.

Damp and slippery in the walking shoes. Viv remembering what trad is all about.

Linked 1+2 again. Had a BD 5 cam, would be easier with a 5 and a 6.

some slick moves through the initial corner.

some slick moves through the initial corner.

first pitch quite nice, stellar curving sickle layback on second pitch, then mediocre

first pitch had one awkward bit, second pitch through overhang felt good, third pitch super awesome, 4th pitch mediocre.

Finally got this out. Good feeling.

Found P2 harder than P5. Linked P1+2. P3 nature walk simply delightful. P4 had some superb exposure, view, position - the size of the chimney is truly "epic!"

linked P2&3. Pitch 2 stellar. Pitch 3 tough at 9!

4th pitch stiff at grade.

Cool slabby corner and then exposed bit on the 1st pitch, challenging steep corner on 2nd pitch.

Pleasant enough, then after passing chockstone the rock deteriorated a bit.

As expected, the first climb of the trip brings you back to the reality of Moonarie grades!

Not worth writing home about.

Oh god. Starts off quite pleasant and then rapidly deteriorates. At one stage I pulled through a tough move and reached up to grab a flake inside the crack, which came off in my hand. I yelled a few choice exclamations and tossed it down, reversed the move and had a little 'moment'. Towards the top the only way I could figure to do a move was to pull my whole weight gingerly on a blade packed in with dirt that moved when I pulled on it.

Scrambled a 2nd pitch up to the "Clear the Decks" anchor.

Logging this again as there is a point at about half height where it is possible to move right towards 'Claw' which I think I may have done last time. This time it was straight up past the bolts though. Superb route.

This went down fairly easily with my new shoes. Ran out of light for the red point, but that will come next time.

Seemed pretty tough for 20 - all the holds ran out towards the top. I expect it will get easier with more practice.

There is some quite marked erosion/trampling going on above this climb as there is no bollard and the anchor set up is on trees.
