Ascents in Northern Tablelands having Beta

First outdoor bouldering, didn't have long before sun down, few quick climbs to break up a long drive

Excellent route, with relatively easy access

Outrageous route, highly challenging

So awesome

Stellar route

Crazy cool boulder

Gotta remember to bring my caving clothing next time i climb with Brendan

Great little route - another beautiful location in the gorge. Thanks for the squeeze tour Brendan!

Unreal rock formation and exciting exposure. Certified mega classic!

Can work my way up to the undercling but struggled to move thru it to the side pull and dyno.

Sploogey, mostly used the left. how you lead this, particularly going right or direct, without the sponge crack being bone dry I do not know.

leg grazer

awesome!

What a banger. Sweet moves and beautiful location

Really hard to protect. I bitched out on the first go because I tried to place the crucial nut before the crux and fucked it completely and below me was like a 0.2 in a detached flake as the entire flake section is all detached so I was like FUCKEN TAAAAAKE. Second go because this was after the like fucken 6 burns on kiss me deadly literally every time I’d clip my biceps would cramp stuck so fell on the crux. Great climbing though!

Man I tried so hard but fell at the same spot. Decided to Work on the beta because kept fallin there and found a better way so we'll see

pretty pumpy- got in two sections, next attempt easy

Bit of a reach right for the second bolt

Top rope burn, shoulder felt great after I tweaked it a couple weeks ago here. Got to the crux clean feeling fairly solid, had a tussle with the rope stuck in the crack where I needed to be. Worked it all and did get the crux moves, but it feels like the crux isn't actually the crux and it's the thinner hands on the headwall which are doable when fresh but brutally sustained after the lip which is the extended crux. The top boulder problem I got first go last time and made a mess of it this time cause I was super cooked.

This one has been on the list for ages and I should have done it years ago, its one of the best routes in the gorge! It climbs well and it's in a top spot

Very cool, done in one pitch

Very close to pulling through the lip

Fark this was hard

So good

All figured out, time to turn the burners on

Pre close, just need more pads to fully commit.

Two goes on top rope and made a lot of progress. This feels very doable now compared to last time. The first roof is not too bad after all, pinch abd layback instead of jam. Second roof is perfect hands for me, the lip is just a constant grunt fest and is more of a stamina thing than pure technical difficulty. Head wall is just more constant fight and thins out and I think you’d want to just punch through it quickly up to the rest before the third little roof. Final section was surprisingly easy and flows nicely. Strained my shoulder / bicep somewhere on the first go and should have taken it easy and cooked it a bit on the second go

Figured out to the big roof, the moves in the roof are a bit beefy but not too bad then the lip is proper fightin territory to go free. Very keen to make this go.

Very noice

Didn't pull on, just cleaning and belaying. Found a perfect photo ledge level with the main roof with the water fall in the background

Had one flash pumpy burn, figured out the start which ended up being the quite straight forward and exactly how I originally thought it would go. Had a second hang at the 3rd bolt which is probably the true crux. Clean second go. The end feels spicy but you just keep moving and its totally fine.

Holy smokes. Cooked. 'Aided' the shit out of this. Will have to either get younger or do some proper training for this. Very inspiring!

Was totally ruined after attempting kiss me deadly. Had a few comical prawn cramps. Got all the moves except the crux at the second bolt. Recommend morning shade and not sweltering arvo direct sun. Maybe 23

Whoa! Epic, daunting, steep, tantalizing, humbling

Lead to first roof and then shut down

If starting at the bottom of the rail with that top out it’s atleast 7. Did everything up to the lip so many times but just couldn’t figure out the mantle.
