Ascents of Ed's Weird Little Thing

Took Paul on his first multi. First pitch is pretty cool. Good beginner multi I think.

did it as a single pitch, rope drag is horrid though, deff rap down if doing it as a single

I did not climb the second pitch. Jarrah and Mikey climbed the second pitch before I went up and said it was easy rambling. Jarrah kindly came down from pitch 2 and set up at the top of the 1st to belay me on it.

The first pitch is a wild and weird ride. Going up the crack on the left is relatively easy, but the first bolt feels quite high. Then into an orange blank section in the middle, where I had to put in some very delicate footwork to be able to reach high enough for some crimps. Into some overhanging jugs to find the third bolt, which is monstrously spaced out from the second bolt to make for a truly terrifying lead (the whole group watched Jarrah lead this with quiet horror). The traverse across to the anchors is the icing on the cake. Truly fun to climb with solid hands and feet, but don't go too high before you start the traverse or you'll be in an awkward position. Again, quite spicy on lead. Jarrah had the rope wrapped around his leg when he was doing it and we were all silently praying on the ground that he wouldn't fall (he made it). Very spicy and unique for a grade 17.

After I made it up, Jarrah rapped off and I stayed to belay up Galen. First time using rope anchor building skills while doing sport climbing - we had a nifty little set-up that made a nice hybrid between belaying seconds with an easy switch-over to abseiling off.

Fun little adventure. Done in a single pitch

A bit scary between the second and the third bolt but overall it was like sewing and singing...

I combined p1 and p2 with some long draws. P2 not worth it unless youre learning multi pitching skills

first pitch. good crux move. rope drag is a shocker.

Not a bad little climb!

Nice climb

Fun little route.

Can be done in one pitch with a 50m rope.

1 good move on the whole thing

Pretty worthless.
