Unbelievable adventure! Was pretty intimidated rapping in and swinging across (which I nailed second shot) luckily nothing was too wet until just as I was setting off and a very big wave came and drenched everything. A 0.5 cam off the belay is key to not splashing into the raging sea below. So stoked on the onsight!!!!

A high quality adventure! First pitch has excellent sections split by choss which i had a bunch of fun on! Second pitch is a funky corner filled with death choss with a cool finger crack to start. The weird placement of the end of the second pitch baffled us for quite a while so we kind of ended up doing it in 5 pitches? Getting off the top of the pinnacle is the real adventure though, with some chossy scrambling and horizontal slot shuffling it made for an awesome day!

Such a nice line with excellent climbing. Traverse at the top felt scary and all the holds would snap if it was in the blueys

Just spicy enough not to get completely rattled but still be very aware of the situation! Awesome climb; committing!

Finally got around to doing this mega classic! Pretty cruisy with lots of stances, plenty of gear and bomber jams.

So so good. Climbed in 5 pitches that were all close to 50m, mostly in my TX4 approach shoes and no tape or gloves.
Perfect jams, some intriguing slabs, burly off widths and strange chimneying... This route has it all!! Such a good adventure with minimal rattle (all the gear is excellent) and some very light rain that hung around all day that was much preferable to the full sun the route usually gets! |

Did the flake start which was without a doubt the crux. The perfect route to start on at buffalo, especially with the bonus slab to finish

The best route in the Bungles for sure! A tricky first 2 pitches, the second pitch being significantly harder than the first but still very managable!
The abseil pitch is kinda difficult to manage, with 2 ledges to choose from, the lower of the 2 makes the best belay! 4rd and 5th pitch are mega classic with great exposure and awesome climbing the while way! We got mildly off route on the 6th pitch, not following the gully and going a bit high! a big block broke off just before I reached the belay while seconding and i took a relatively small but crazy scary fall right onto wills belay! Very glad it held! Being slightly off route meant i led a very scary traverse back into the gully at much higher than grade 13 that the pitch is graded at! Racing the sun will lead the last pitch basically as a solo putting no gear in to save time! Because the pitch was so easy it made it super enjoyable!
If you have a spare day in the Bungles, definately give it a try, as easy bail in possible after the second pitch!

I found this hard today! Most of the moves are fine on their own, but a serious lack of fitness had me flailing for quite some time (thanks for belaying Will Vidler). Then to watch will completely cruise all the moves I was whipping off for an epic send was just awesome!

Very long bush bashing mission to check this route out. Looks mega, but needs some love.

After following behind Will's mega whip, i was terrified to lead this even though most of the gear was pre-placed. The moves aren't particularly hard its just really really pumpy! With a bit more work i think it could definitely be sent, hopefully before summer!

Probably solid at 17, awesome climbing on bomber rock 95% of the way! Lived up to the hype for sure!

Hardest 17 i have ever climbed, the first pitch being just off hands and not quite fist made it super desperate and quite tricky! Second pitch was a bit spicy climbing the choss arĂȘte with the ledge and gear well below. Third pitch had another desperate start and a scary mega choss section to finish! Nice to finally top out the ben!
