Ascents in Central Australia

Top roped

Lead this one a few times on a standard climbing day out. Love this spot!

Good central Australian climb. A little mantle leads up to some cruisey moves to finish. Enjoy the view at this serene spot.

My first ever lead climb but with gear already placed by flukeydukey this was a sport lead.

Some big loose blocks. Great protection options for medium cams and hexes.

Easy going centralian climb. This was my first ever multi-pitch lead. Well protected like a medieval castle. The second pitch in particular has bomber protection for hexes and cams if you so choose.

First time we climbed this we walked down the gully right of the climb. The rock was a bit loose, so we rapped down the second half, leaving a Maillon Rapide and a bit of rope behind.

Wear a helmet for any Central Australian climb - loose rocks are aplenty!

This was one of my first Trad leads. As always in Central Australia, the rock can hide loose blocks and so you must protect yourself well and climb with confidence. This climb affords a range of protection options, for cams nuts and hexes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this ascent and found it slightly challenging in places. Halfway up the wall lies a frozen nut... a sign of a previous fall perhaps?

I reached the top to discover that the bolts are set about 7meters back from the edge of the wall. Consequently, communication with the second is difficult without extending the anchor a long way.

I still love this crag

straightforward climbing up good holds until the 1st FH, tricky but fun slab moves afterwards

Ok climbing

Ok climbing.

Way harder than 20. Some good moves but some average rock.

Pumped out negotiating the death blocks pulling the roof. If these were gone it would be border line classic. Exciting runout to the finish above an average nut.

Wow! First climb in Alice and what a amazing route. Sustained on mostly perfect rock with exciting gear. Reminded me of 'new image' at Arapiles. More like solid 20/21.

awesomely fun! but painful... took a lot of work to figure out the middle sequence!

fun climb, tricky moves at the start but becomes more straightforward after 2nd clip

crimpy moves at the start, but rather straightforward once you rejoin smear madness

tricky, crimpy moves at the start, good balance required. gets easier about halfway up

good fun climb. tricky moves after first bolt. working up to leading it

awesome fun moves up through the roof

My first FA!

NIce route, not as loose as the rest of the cliff, bit of a sandbag as routes here seem to be graded after top rope rehearsal.

Lovely climbing, but it really needs a clean, many loose blocks.

Ok, some big loose blocks.

Good climbing and pretty good rock, jamming optional ; )

Made it to the second ledge before we decided to rap down to beat the sundown! Will have to try again someday

Brilliant climb.
