Crag Guide for Mt Alexander

got a little sketchy at the top

I heard KP vommited in a certain young ladies bed... That boy just cant handle the juice.

nice climb with good gear

really nice climbing. got stucj at the crux and had to semi gaston/jam?

as hard as mac dogs

Massive sandbag. Desperate shallow jamming at start and finish. Seconded Nick 9.2002.

Little too hard for me to TR today.

Tis might hard for a 2.4 Old KP would be proud.

Onsight solo. Would be good if it wasn't for the flexing flake...

Onsight. Man, that flake is gonna rip off in someone's hands soon, hey. Good climbing otherwise..

First ever solo. onsight.

Flash.

Onsight.

Short and Sharp...

fun long time since i've climbed granite was scared

Bloody hard slabs!

Not much easier without my gear in the way... Have a better idea what I need to do to lead this ...

Really struggled to get my limbs in around my gear again...

great double fist jams

Onsight solo, up and down. An entertaining novelty.

horrendous!! Awesome laugh.

Great route! Harder than 7. Route description reads totally different to the climb. Just because ...

just couldnt figure out what to do once the crck got wider than my arm

not great. 5m of worthwhile climbing

Way harder than 18

scared on top rope but was fun just a little slick to get of the ground

the start is very greasy

grrrr. fell off last moves three times on three burns. wierd bolt placements and coarse funky slo...

one dog on onsight attempt. ... probably hard 24.

undercling flake gone missing - would have made it easier!

A 40cm flake mentioned in the guidebook has since come off and the climb could now be harder than...

Tan 2nd

Tan 2nd

Cool bouldery start then fairly easy with tough top out. Good fun!

fun little thing do the mantle for full value

Tan as well

my first trad onsight

reachy and contrived

Great little face.

Really nice, would be better if it was longer.

Tan 2nd

Fell off the first move a few times, but found it a bit worrying up high as well!

Worth a star at this crag - better than both cracks to the left.

my first trad lead! WOOHOO!

short and easy

really short intersesting top out

Nice layback with hard to place trad gear.

awesome jams

fell off first try when foothold snapped. looks terrifingly wide but is a classic line which you ...

great line. Shame about rock quality ...

Good to get my head back in after 3 months of not climbing.

First move or two is a bit exciting.

nice to top rope wouldn't want to lead it

too contrived

Textbook tick. Amazing arete, makes granite fun.

Onsight attempt. Fell off a few times working out where things were.

Thought this was a 19...

I thought this route was all class.... im surprised danny ng didn't snag the FA !

First climbed back in 2002

short and sweet..

My very first onsight! WOO HOO!

Ripped a huge flake off. Poxy first half.

Nice enough to the bolt, then thin, hollow and exploding flakes. May have gone up a few grades...

needs some traffic

boulder problem...

Loads of fun! A shame about the misleading guidebook directions for finding the crag!

Fairly strenuous. Craig 2nded

nice feature.. good rock.. nice route

Hard scramble basially

Craig 2nded

daz 2nd

not too bad, with some delicate moves

3rd shot. Craig 2nded

High first bolt

1 rest, Tan 2nd (clean)

Great slabbing

Beta from Chockstone guide so won't claim onsight

Hated the ground potential between 1st and 2nd bolt. So close to getting the onsight..oh well...

two move wonder

Following the line in Glen's new guide a grade 10? No way...

daz 2nd

Rock lead

fell off...and got back on from the bottom...2nd time no drama

3m ground fall hit the ground running no injuries

a bit of everything

lots of fun

Love the crack at the top, wish it were longer.

first crack...

Too brief, Tan 2nd

short fun crack, with a friction finish

little bit scary in the rain with moss everywhere. but awesome traverse.

Brilliant face/ undercling jam traverse

Lovely line. Pro hard to place at crux. Boldering mat would have been nice !

nice tiny arete problem

scary jams

i think it was lemonade?

alzeimers onsight. tough start.. fantastic top pocket section

Climbed entirely on depressions. Still very cool indeed!... 2003 Superb featured face. awwesome...

Hot weather, no enthusiam and shit slopy holds. Thats my excuse anyway.

Soft tick

done for the paparrazi, after the other model went on strike...

tough crux. Very hard for grade...

laybacking this is great fun....definently the way-to-go

Sharp and gnarly.

toproped years ago, and failed!? cool start. nice retrobolt

Might as well solo this. Why bother with the bolt?

F#ck, i nearly popped off the top. All little pockets..

This crack nearly got me good. Short and tricky.

bit of a workout

really nice jams. dirty top out.

A hard jambing problem.

named 'Death on the Stairs' ... Had 4 spectators watching the FA. Who would have thought the cro...

The sound of steel meshing with granite was enough for the punters to gather.

Excellent delicate slabbing on edges

slabs feel so much easier on second

freaked out but nice climbing. (15/12/04 2nd)

sandbag start. Then it's over..

challanging start but great value.

2nd doug... stepped in from the side to avoid start. 16ish ... great jams/layaways.

definently 'bit more off than i could chew'. Incredibly hard start leads to 6m of superb insecur...

just fell off to make kent feel better. more like hard 23

The hordes have finally arrived, laying witness to a many a great KP route to be sent on this glo...

super thin route on immaculant granite. Possibly a sandbag..??

repeat: this is way hard. Nice onsight by doug. many dogs by me. FA 2003ish

too 'ard for me! thin

painful piece of contrived madness. Way hard for grade...could be very 'ard!

can't believe i got back on sandbag wall after being shut down by my old routes a few weeks back....

the shakes are contageous, like malaria

2nd Ascent. Brilliant arete, with funky moves on immaculate granite...could life get any better?

superb funky arete. Watch the topout !!

[4] Classic if it wasn't on granite... took ages to wire the finish but then got it next go.

A nominee for the KKK - Klassic Kent Klimbs

Lots of smears, scary and insecure..

scary winger potential onto sharp branches behind - its the 2 bolt arete L of undercling flake.

This has to be good - i spent a hour solving this one. Awesome dyke traverse and mantle. Superb r...

so friggen close. Overhanging quartz traverse too mantle. Funky

akward crux and a bit committing. 2 FH's

Great sequence. 1 FH to chain loweroff

The route that broke micky B's enthuisiasm. His feet were in mucho pain. 2 bolts

Long and fun. 4 FH's
