Ascents in New South Wales and ACT as Pink point

Did it clean on my 2nd attempt. The bottom crux can be done with a high foot and a big cross for shorter climbers. Nice moves all the way up and well protected.

Fucked the onsight real bad. Dogged it aye But real nice once you know a little beta

Awesome

Cool thin line. As it implies, inverted stairs

Sendy Send, beautiful climbing

Flash, Awesome slab then pulling through 2 overhangs

2nd shot. Doesnt look like much from the ground but its all forgotten when you pull on. Continuously engaging climbing that keeps you thinking and fighting all the way.

Jimmy lead solidly as usual, i thought id pull the rope out & lead it with the gear still in. ...Bad choice still the most scared ive ever been on a climb. shitty pro & a crack!! bear hugged the tree at the top till i had the energy to top out!

Adding an old pink-point of this I forgot to log. Sent on Michael Moore's gear after a top rope lap. Stonkers cupped hands, heaps of fun.

Took a bit of cleaning. Unfortunately Robin and John’s bolts are within clipping distance in the lower half, though the crux and above is pure trad, mostly small to medium wires. The old single bolt needs replacing and anchors would be good. will add to the to do list. 23/24 maybe. It too k a number of tries to sort out

2nd shot. The untrafficked onsight ended between the last bolt and the anchor, despite giving it everything. Felt solid and enjoyable on the 2nd lap. Maybe not too hard for the grade? An engaging gritstone-esque ramble up a funky buttress, with all the most engaging bits at the top.

2nd shot. Classic climbing, but the dubious rock renders it "very good". A surprisingly bouldery and sustained outing, with only one real rest on the entire route. My first lap took me 1.5 hours to put together the beta (though route was clearly untrafficked), and to send it I had to go all guns blazing with lots of noise, clipping bolts at my ankles, and a bit of whimpering. For a face climb, this one runs a surprising gamut of moves and styles.

Really enjoyed this one, so nice to get on long sports routes like these

Loved this heaps. This little wall is gold

Sketchy second clip...close to deck when you pull the rope up to clip

route was bolted

Third shot

Second go, after a scary onsight attempt due to spaced bolts. Hard moves at second bolt especially if lacking a big wingspan. Placed a very long sling on the fifth bolt.

Hard start, retreated upwards as holds broke

Team success. Pink pointed on Dave's gear. A RP burn will have to wait for next year. Pre habilitation time is over. It's been a great month.

4th shot Pink-Point send. Awesome. One off the bucket list of obscure ticks (that has been there since I first came to Kaputah a decade ago!).

Both pitches have awesome moves, with (mostly) good rock, and are improbably steep. P2 has a funky opening roof to negotiate, before going gnarly old-school palm-on-wall feet-smeared-on-nothing steep stemming, which reminded me of the crux of Pythagoras Theorem. Figuring out the crux sequence probably took me 1.5 hours of effort over 2 laps!

I found the gear on both pitches (especially pitch 2) fiddly and a bit dubious, and never got to the point on P2 where I wanted to do the ascent placing gear (though having to finish before the midday summer sun arrived each day, and being on a mere road trip were also factors). I think maybe with another day on the route I might've gotten to that point.

Majestic when in condition!

Nice enough climbing. Gear in to 35m

Lachy’s first trad lead. Lead up on his gear to check it and bring up the others. Fun start and middle, cruisey top bit with tons of drag.

What a time to be alive... Started off in the rain, waterfall dripping onto my shoulder and then into my shoes. There is no such thing as bad conditions... Just three absolute sends 🤙

Pretty desperate, was very almost off a couple of times, but managed to hang on to the top. Then almost got a cliff edge photo bomb of a group at the top.

Fell off first go when mantle didn't quite work

Yo-yo ascent. Took a stuck knee before I figured it out but it was actually pretty straightforward on the second run. Good feet.

Good wires in crack

depending on what you call a proper ascent i didnt do this route becuase my hold broke off mid chains clip. i just want to say i climbed 25 trad so im counting it
