FFA. Stoked to have finally sent it after spotting it with Elinor last year! Found that the rock was a bit wet under the crack. Found a kneebar rest 1/3 way in. Good gear at the start then there's a section shortly after where the gear is a bit dodgy for 5m. Plugged a solid cam just before the bouldery move and went for it. Left foot slipped just before the top but managed to recover and slam dunk the final jug. Pumpy. Thank you to Jiri for all the support and El for psyching me up to try it when I doubted myself.

We wanted to do the full multi pitch but bailed after the 3rd bolt on the first pitch as there was a committing slab move that was about 2m above the last bolt and 2m before the next bolt. We couldn't commit and didn't want to fall and roll our ankles on the low angle slab.

5.11 5.11d | ★★ The Dune - with Dave | 130m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Pretty fun climbing! We decided to do the left start and into pitch 2a which was a great idea. The right start is total choss and if we rocked up and saw it, we probably would've left. The left start had an alpine feel with loose blocks and chossy rock. It was tricky with our backpacks. We left the packs at the end of the first pitch and grabbed them when we rappelled down. Pitch 2 was really cool with the roof and then the bouldering ending. Pitch 3 was not "a touch burly" as it was described in the book.. It was hell burly for most of the pitch. So much offwidth! Pitch 4 was the crux but didn't feel any harder than the other pitches. Ended up stemming on the opposite wall for the fingers section. We didn't do pitch 5 and rappelled down.

Pitch 1 was short warm up, it was pretty average climbing. At the top of the pitch you reach a terrace where you can walk to the right for 5m for the start of the 2nd pitch. The 2nd pitch was awesome. Started balancy with small gear then a ledge for a rest before the hard fingers. There was no easing into it, it was straight in there and got harder the higher you get. You reach a "jug" but still have some hard moves before you are home. I ended up falling after pumping out on the jug. Got it 2nd try. Abby lead pitch 3 & 4 which I thought was harder than 5.10. The 5th pitch was awesome fun, cool balancy traverse after a chimney that you can't fall into. The last section of the pitch ends with a sting with a short section of fingers. The 6th pitch was the aid pitch. The bolts are spaced far apart. I found that I used a 60cm sling for foot loop, went it hard to the bolt with a quick draw and then stood up high like you would high stepping when aid climbing worked well. The 7th pitch was harder than it looks. The flakes were a mixture of lay backing and jamming. The final pitch was exciting, slabby. We got lost trying to follow the descent in the guide. Ended up just following a track all the way right to the end of the wall and down the gully at the end via a track with switchbacks. The gear beta in the guidebook was spot on!

Awkward start into slot then hand jams followed by tight hands. Careful to extend your cams near the top of the tight hands section and then extend it above to prevent your cams getting sucked into the crack when the rope is tight like I did. Note don't use block at the top on the left near the flake which has a large X on it.

Such an amazing multipitch. P1 was harder than I thought, linked it up with pitch 2. Pitch 3 was nice jamming. Pitch 4 was solid and first half gave you a teaser of the offwidth to come. The honeycomb rock feature definitely helped as feet. The second half of pitch 4 was the money pitch, full on offwidth battle, was so ready to give up. Started left side in and once the honeycomb features on the right wall ran out, changed to right side in. Pitch 5 was kinda ordinary.

The first pitch was a bit awkward with the vegetation. The start of the second pitch was the highlight with the twin cracks and the exposure on the detached flake. The "finger crack" on the start of the 3rd pitch was short and bouldery leading to endless slabs! Don't get deceived by the "3" pitches. There's another pitch or so of slab before you can put on your sneakers to scoot up to the summit.

What an amazing climb! So varied and each pitch completely different and memorable. The climb is in the shade all day except for the last pitch so make sure you bring a jacket!
Pitch 1 - Thin crimps on small edges. Quite balancey. Guide said to clip the first bolt of P2 before the belay but found it was too much rope drag. Instead used a #3 placement in crack on ground just before the belay. Brought 2x #2 and 2x #3 which was useful along with a small cam for the end of the first sickle. Pitch 2 - The boulder traverse Slopey feet whilst traversing on crimps, crux was the move at the end of the traverse and transitioning to the vertical crack. Used 1x #2 to protect the crack. Pitch 3 - The aid pitch Layback corner to a #3 then a #2 useful just below the aid bolts. Brought 60cm slings. Still found it little bit reachy and strenuous to reach the next bolt. The delicate slab climbing to finish Pitch 4 - The get out of here pitch Nothing too special, a bit run out and thin and shallow crack for protection. Used tiny nuts. |

Attempted but ended up bailling back onto the tourist track once we reached the large overhang as it got windy and wet.
Pitch 1 - Straight up the slab/face to the right of the gully till top of the buttress. Pitch 2 - Traversed left through some shrub/bush to get to the base of the roof. Pitch 3 - Straight up to the large roof We then bailed however Pitch 4 looks like the money pitch as you have air under and to the left of you as you step onto the face from the roof and up. |

Amazing climb! Did it in the dark! Bomber jugs with heaps of nut placements! Definitely my favourite climb of the trip as it was just pure fun. We went to the top of the pinnacle and wrapped rope around it to abseil down to the notch/ledge. Rope pulled off fine when standing at the opposite wall. The descent is pretty good, just stay on the most obviously well worn paths and it'll take you to stairs back down to the car park.

Used it as a warm up to the other two climbs. I wouldn't give it a star but it's not bad. Had to do some gardening mid climb. Cool traverse moves on slopers.

Pretty cool offwidth crack although didn't use any offwidth technique. Used a #5 at the start, a #4, #6 and then #5 for the top. Shame it's so short. I found this to be easier than Coke Bugs next door.
