This is absolutely sensational. Our 'rest day' climb recommended by Mark. That little roof and moving to arete later is the best exposure you can get. SO good. We linked pitches 1 and 2, and climbed with double ropes to get back down to the first belay from the top, and then to the ground. A bit of bush bashing as the QR code in the book gives you the wrong car park — the right one is about 200m further down the road.

Gosh where do I start. We were all freezing, but the sun came out after the morning rain and I was feeling good to send the pitch, despite rain clouds looming. Got through the first (pumpy) roof section and out onto the face, when it started heavily snowing/hailing. Got psyched out, fumbled and fell on a reachy move. Decided to bail as the top would have been soaked, luckily had dual ropes so cleaning was straightforward. | 75m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Another epic - overcast, rain, sunshine, overcast, sunshine, snow, hail, sunshine. Will have to come back for the final pitch when it's dry!

Nice. Top pitch is well worth doing. Anchor is set a long way back so not advisable to lower off (I downclimbed and lowered off the final bolt instead). Otherwise bring up a second and rap off.

First day climbing since moving up here. Quite a good multi, pumped out after the crux leading the final pitch and had to rest on the rope but otherwise very happy with this. Interesting finish: run out to the anchor, so I did the very exposed traverse for an easier top out with a lot of rope drag

Linked the first two pitches which was flowy and honestly feels like the best way to climb them. With two 70's and (un?)wise skipping of bolts, it may be possible (and enjoyable) to link the whole thing, cos we got down in one 70m rap with plenty of rope to spare.
Now that would be rad! |

2 huggy, slabby pitches lead into an excellent, tough overhang on the 3rd pitch followed by a traverse out over the void to the top. Helmets are a must for anyone climbing or on the ground below (a lot of that hollow sounding rock is actually pretty hollow).

The top pitch is absolutely stellar but very much "Second to clean". Despite this I drew upon my inner mega-gumby and managed to turn cleaning this on the abseil into a 15 minute escapade. The unfortunate news for all the treasure hunters out there looking for booty, is that I did in fact succeed in the pursuit of quickdraw recovery. A consolation plunder can be found in the form of a red number 1 cam which is residing deep within the bottom crack. Looks to be 2 generations old with both triggers are gone though.

Our first multipitch. Short and sweet but incredibly worth it. The third pitch was kind of scary and by scary I mean I was nervous clipping the overhanging crevice but I did it! And it was awesome! I should have more faith in my strength and competent body positioning. Another section involved a traverse along the lip - hang low, feet either flagging down below or high up by your hips before moving up. And another sweet section was to kind of Monkey bar around and up and arete before finishing up on some jugs. So much fun!!!! I had not climbed anything like it before

Better to rap in and top out, pretty rough rope drag getting lowered back to the top of pitch two. Was a group of two and only I topped the third pitch. Awesome climb though. Don’t hesitate and power through the lower crux. Save some for the second but easier upper crux, nothing compared to the first.

We didn't do the third pitch but what a classic time with the flake parade.

Lead the final 19 pitch. Classic exposure, overhang with jugs. A little chossy, the following conversation happened as I was starting pitch 3:
Me (leading): This jug moves when I hold on. That makes life harder. Belayer: A movable jug? Just put it where you want it. It actually makes it easier! Me: Ah of course, that is what I was doing wrong. |

Great climb. First pitch was harder than anticipated and the wind made everything feel cold and exposed. We had a bit of fun cleaning the third pitch as the second stayed on the belay, i thin kit's easiest to bring a second up and rap from the top. well worth doing

What a great climb! Linked P1 & P2 climbing on two ropes for massive rope drag. The P3 roof had enough jugs to be thoroughly enjoyable, although there was some choss. We got our ropes stuck on the rap down with winds wrapping them around the Honey Rider arete.

One day ill get a clean ascent on a multi! Endurance issues on P3 but this was by far my favorite. Powerful moves on jugs through the roof then sustained but still juggy until a rest in the cave. Well bolted through the crux. Earlier pitches are runout, however, no reason to take a fall.
Suggest perhaps doing a 50m rapel to the top of P1. We had some issues hitting the ledge with the overhang above it. |

Great climbing on the first 2 pitches and then the 3rd pitch in my opinion was the best. Just be careful with the 3rd pitch we had problems pulling the rope, would recommend taking 2 ropes as it says in the guide.

The second pitch is the best one on this route featuring really nice climbing on generally good rock. First pitch was meh and the last pitch was underwhelming. Again be really careful of loose rock and probably bring a helmet!

P2 was the nicest easy pitch I've done in a while!
Had commitment issues trying to get the draw on before the roof on P3. The moves were good, and it was a stunning position! Overall, better than Honey Ryder. |
