no gear, equivalent difficulty to caves route IMO. | 200m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Great day out, quality rock and nice exposure for the grade. Linked pitches 4 & 5, no gear needed after pitch 3. 21 degrees and overcast, would not go near this on a hot day.

Pete lead the first two pitches with some mad long run out (definite ground fall potential on the first pitch). At the end of the second pitch short on time we decided to retreat to avoid climbing over some wet slimy rock. Still got some good views and fun in tho!

Cruisy day out with Ben to suss out the route as potential multi for the kids. We did the variant start, can't add much to Rob's very detailed description of the route. Only one thing for rap beta: if rapping with one 70m, don't skip any anchor if you weigh less than 50kg, rope won't stretch enough to get down to the anchor top of p3 (or p4?) 😅

Back to lead the route!
Gear beta: A single rack is sufficient, if you must bring doubles make them micros. Swap out the #5 (DMM) with a big hex. Rap beta: If on 60m doubles, I’d recommend descending by linking 7-6, 5-4, 3-2, 1. On a 60m single you’ll have to rap each pitch. |

This was my first mixed multipitch route and was an excellent introduction! Overall the route is very well protected with plenty of hangers where natural gear is unavailable. A 70m single rope will allow you abseil each pitch without issue. We started climbing the variant start at around 0715 and topped out around 1045 and were back on the ground at 1145.
Big thanks to Angie for taking me up and for being great company! Pitch notes:
Thanks to the developers for the time, effort, and money that went into making Blabbermouth what it is: an excellent introductory mixed multipitch. It's a route I expect I'll enjoy many times, and gives me the confidence to tackle others! |

Had to bail after the 4th pitch due to time constraints. Keen to head back and finish this one day. The NE Buttress area can be a bit of a head spin when trying to figure out which routes go where. Lots of criss-crossing of routes, branched off variants, etc. Had surprisingly cool weather for November.

Great intro mixed trad route. Found the second pitch more mentally taxing than the other pitches I lead. Some great little nests of gear were placed and the climbing wasn’t anything too difficult. Just the occasional questionable sections of rock.
Some great leads from Issy and some even greater gear placements. Props to Jelena for powering up this route whilst not feeling 100%. Awesome company as always from these two legends! |

Listed as trad but more accurately it is a mixed route. Lots of FH. All belays are bolted but the ledges are small or they are semi hanging belays. Grades are accurate. P3 was my favorite. Did the VS start. Pitch 7 is only a grade 10 but is a little scary without anywhere to place gear. Deserves the two stars. You can abseil back down the route or climb up to the top of the caves routes and abseil down that way. Easy to bail from the top of any pitch.

Did the first two pitches of sunburnt buttress thus 18, but Nat got a bit lost on pitch 2 and it made us worried about what was to come, so we bailed up this. Didn’t really love it, but maybe we just found the unfamiliar rock hard to read. Nice to go up Mt Tibro for the first time anyway.

First multi with my little sis for 4 years! (Her 3rd one ever!) It was magical apart from the obscene swearing to come out of my baby sister's mouth about her toe-less, painfully aggressive shoes hahaha. It was hilarious to watch, but also epic to see her push through some mental barriers to make it to the top. What a total crusher. She led pitch 4 without a hitch, belayed on a multipitch for her first time, and did her first Multipitch abseil and totally crushed it! Happy days!!!

We continued to the summit and descended via the caves route. |

Excellent route. One of the better ones on Tibro that I have done. Even though it is May, it still felt quite hot. Also the final pitch was a bit scary, mostly because I haven't done much soloing before...

Fun day out! Swung leads and started up Blabbermouth VS. Best way to start I reckon. Route finding overall is pretty straightforward, lots of good hardware to guide the way. P2 and P3 were the standout pitches for me. Bit runout on P2 but gear appears when you're terrified enough. Bits of hollow rock on P3 so be careful.
Final solo pitch was interesting but easy. Keep a good head and Bob's your uncle. Rack (probably overkill): nuts, offset nuts, hexes, single rack of totems with additional #0. 1 and #3. |

Fairly nondescript climbing overall. Linked P1 and P2, then lead P3, followed Matt on P4 and then linked P5 and P6. In general, there was less gear than I expected in places (based on pitch descriptions). I went the wrong way for P3, going up for two bolts then right instead of directly right from the belay; made things a bit spicy, and definitely sandbagged for Matt. Still, it's an enjoyable light adventure and was perfect for giving Matt some more multipitching experience; it was also just nice to spend the day on a cliff.

I was pleasantly surprised at this route, and also expecting fewer bolts. Overall, protects very well given the newer FHs and bomber wires in many sections. Plus, I got to teach my partner how to lead belay using a Munter hitch when she dropped her ATC!

I made it to the top of the 4th pitch clean when a big rainstorm drenched the mountain causing the traction to disappear. The rock was slick as ice and it was difficult to rig abseils back down without slipping and falling off the belay ledges. Safe return, all was well. We'll definitely attempt this again, it was good fun!

Nice climb with quite a few brs. Onsight all except 3rd pitch when I pulled a hold which had me flip upside down and fall face first 7m, crapped myself. Final pitch although super easy really needs a bolt or two, after pulling a hold earlier I felt nervous soloing 20m.

I lead pitch 2, 4 and 6. I slipped on pitch 2 (seriously my foot just blew off the rock so fast, it was totally unexpected) and fell on a #3 camelot.

Good fun day out and my first lead on trad! Scattered cloud cover kept the heat bearable - wouldn't want to do this one in Summer! Required a bit of route finding and a bit run-out in some sections. Some loose rock in the gully around the top of pitch 4 it think? You can stay left of it by placing a bit of gear. Avoid the obvious death block on pitch 7.
Spotted a few odd bolting decisions here and there: Some spots where the belay chains are bolted right next to a nice looking ledge (but they don't coincide). Also feels a bit strange that the last pitch isn't bolted (given there's nowhere to put pro), yet the other 6 pitches have a smattering of bolts. Maybe some historical context as to these decisions? Pitch 1 (blabbermouth VS): James Pitch 2: Paul Pitch 3&4 (linked): Paul Pitch 5: James Pitch 6: Paul Pitch 7: James Descent via the Caves Route. |

Led variant p1, p3, p6.
A few bits of gear on some of the pitches keep things from getting too spicy on bolts alone.
Didn't bother with the final pitch. |
