Fixed Gear: Upgrade of routes I/P

Hey all, the following routes are seldom, if ever, lead, and are currently being upgraded:

The Stoat Stepped Out

Socketh It Unto Me

The variant finishes of these.

TRing at night is still an option & is safe. Lead climbing is NOT recommended untill the upgrade is complete: the old carrots have been removed.

TRing during the day would interfere with the work being done, so please choose another route to TR from, if climbing during the daytime.

Thursday 11th April + Friday 12th April. Hope to have these upgrades done by Friday.

😎😚

ethic

Climbing at 'KP' has a long, rich history and the cliffs are used by a huge number of climbers of very varied styles and abilities. For these reasons ethics here are complicated. However here are some undisputed points:

  • All top roping should be done through your own quickdraws to minimize wear on the anchors.
  • Don't ever chip holds.
  • Don't paint on any new initials.
  • Retrobolting is acceptable only after consensus is reached with a large cross section of the 'KP' climbing community. New bolts that don't meet this criteria are chopped, often within a few days.

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
