Ascents in Melbourne View Buttress having Beta

Thoughtful start, ladder finish

Very fun little nub fest

My very first lead! on preplaced gear...

Nice warm up, easy..

deserves at least one star! again on 180406

deserves at least one star!

Worth the scramble up the gully, comitting start

Nice climb. Couldn't find the second BR mentioned in the guide...

Gear is a bit spaced in first half. Nice face climbing.

Very nice. A series of jugs all the way up, mostly just a slight stretch apart. Might be more difficult for shorter climbers. Amazing views!

Can start as for Space Jugging then tend left to first and only bolt. I believe some ascents of SJ may infact be Russell 2. For SJ, tend right after juggy start. Bolt not obvious.

Would be a bit nicer if the wall was a bit cleaner, but not too bad anyway

Think this is the first time I've climbed this route but hard to say. Not Bad!

I was too out of shape for 'A Queen' so did the Gambit instead.

My second ever lead climb, on preplaced gear

First time on this after several weeks hiatus. This wall is lit in the morning, so wasn't too cold for winter climbing.

So much fun i did it again!

My second lead, on preplaced bolts and gear... This was great fun!

Pretty mossy in 2004.

Great warm-up. Don't forget to take a sling for the second runner.

Climbed it from the start of A King.

Definitely don't belay this climb from the gum tree but from directly below.

Seconded it to go back to the car to get my bolt plates.

Gets a bit exposed/scary when you reach the chimney and find yourself suddenly over a very large drop!

Quite good but needs a clean

Mistakenly went to the right just below the 2nd bolt, then moved left. Next time will go straight up and over.

Used as a descent

Not 100% sure I found the correct route here but it went, getting there was an adventure!

Surprisingly good.

nice. led by Mark M.

its a really fun climb to start the day

Be sure to take slings - there's little if any other pro available after the 2nd bolt!

Gets seriously difficult when you reach the bolt. Obscenely reachy and bouldery moves to gain the poor, mossy ledge above the almost featureless wall containing the bolt, then up, strenuously, on a combination of jugs and crimps. Large horizontal crack below overhang will take a BD #4 cam easily, or a #3 if you find the narrowest sections. Got through the reachy crux cleanly, after backing off and returning to the ledge several times, but then pumped out while approaching the overhang.

Crap climb that has no protection (top rope only) from a dangerous start and totally covered in moss.
