Ascents in The Pavillion having Beta

Great route

The first pitch is stellar. The second pitch is a great experience: it's got lots of fun stuff and although being somewhat runout the climbing is easy enough (for someone who can climb P1) to not feel too scarey [IMHO this pitch is actually more like grade 16 than the 18 given in Climb Tasmania].

Also note that the Climb Tas pitch 1 length is not correct: it is 30 m.

Bit of an adventure to find the start, but interesting climbing once we were en-route. Amazing views and exposure.

First time at The Pavilion. First pitch had some awesome flowy climbing. Second was a real adventure through some improbable terrain.

thin crux at 3/4 height of the first pitch made me doubt my climbing capabilities. the .2 held my fall but with this and two micronuts I didn't dare trying forever and aided the section after two more shots. second pitch is 3d adventureland

The Clemency of Tassie.. at Ben Lomond: The last place i expected to happen across such a route. A fairly expected 1st pitch of... yep crack climbing. But with a few more face holds than were used to. A big deadpoint at half height provided quite the feature. Crux move seemed impossible. How hard it really is well never know, only how hard it is when you step through 2 slings clipped through gear; understandably, not nearly as hard as doing it free. The 2nd pitch was where i was really taken aback. The lead swung to my hands and reminiscent of the tibro classic, a wild winding line up blockey territory with alot of 'extra-curricular' items growing off the rock. Runouts and thoughtful gear through easyish territory a-plenty, and some rockstar chimney work at the end. My crack gloves finally spat the dummy, one ripping off during a committing sequence which prompted me to stuff it down my shirt.. only thing i could think to do. A great curtain call for a fantastic Ben Lomond trip! Chomping at the bit to get back here.

Was tough to find the start of the climb. Quite the scramble. We did a belayed traverse to get to what we thought was the start of the climb. Quite an adventurous type of climb!

A real adventure. Final pitch taking some thinking and acrobatics for the grade, (16 in the guide), it would probably be quite wet a lot of the time. Satisfying top out.

Our first route on the Ben. Had trouble finding the start of the route as we approached from below. Great quality moves once we found the line, some committing moves on the second pitch.

Good climbing up an indistinct line. Started up Solaris but I think we ended up on Giant Vibrator in the top half. Interesting featured rock. Far less chossy than it looks, but still quite a few dodgy loose blocks to tiptoe around.

P1 - Lead Onsight P2 - 2nd clean

A goon rewarded spook

Pretty cool

2nd pitch only. Accessed via Brother Jack Straw pitch 1. Great climbing. Never too physical, but mentally taxing, especially the rising traverse. Just enough gear seemed to magically present itself.

1st pitch only, then finished up Sudden Tremors. Great climbing. Some tough moves in the crack leading up to the traverse. Well led by Nate.

Was feeling nervous and jittery. Rushed the crux move and fell off when my foot slipped. Did it second go. Awesome, sustained climbing, with a firey, but very well protected crux move.

One of the best climbs on Ben Lomond. A fairly committing and sustained climbing leads o a good rest before moving into an amazing crux sequence. A rest on the rope while I tried to read the crux.

Started too late. Ended up bailing after the first pitch by doing an awkward traverse to a bail anchor(which took us another 3 pithes ergh). Probably would have been faster just to finish the whole climb.

Led p1 and 2. Pitch 2 is excellent, great stemming and technical chimneying. The rest is all pretty good too. Pulling past the loose block thing at the end of pitch 1 is scary.

Great day to be on the ben. Warm in the sun but cold in the shade. While shivering at the 2nd belay I watched a huge wedgie being chased by an angry currawong, then by two ravens.

The money pitch is the first pitch but the second is super interesting although rope drag terrible. I would split the top pitch next time for sure.

P2 only.

P1 only. Climbed this to 35 m and did Sudden Tremors

Lead both pitches did 1st then linked 2&3 as one 56m, didn't do super clean, good climbing in places. Hard for the grade 18 it gets in the guide. Eats up finger sized wires and cams.

Interesting approach pitch to some nice climbing on the first pitch then we got lost off route into some easier ground. Was still a fun day out!

Pretty soft to par this up with Fierce Archer..feels a lot easier. Much cleaner & more streamlined.

Grit 'N ugly stuff. We did another small pitch off to the R to reach the plateau.

First pitch was wet as hell and pure slime after the rain, we made up the rest for p2 &3 to top out. Good lead by Scott under testing conditions!

After lots of rain the 1st pitch was very wet and slimy. Wandered our way to the top via two more pitches of contrived climbing on semi dry rock to the top of the buttress. Pulled on a couple of cams to get past the slime. Not great climbing, but a stellar day to be up on the Ben.

Lead first pitch again after many years in between. One fall from the crux then scraped through on second attempt. Really happy ! What a place, what a climb !

P1 may be 35m but to get off it is another 40m pitch of roped scrambling. Tough. Trad. With Rick.

Nice corner crack. Now sports a jammed No.2 Friend in the top part. Happy retrieving. Trad with Rick.

P2 is awesome. P3 is pox. The whole climb felt like a giant game of jenga. pull the wrong stacked block and the whole cliff will end up on the scree slope. Should have brought RPs.

aided crux,fantastic stance on fin

p1 bill, p2&3 dave

second Ben lead,intimidated

Great Climb
