	19	★★★ Icebird - with Stanislav Likane	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Will Gregson	Sat 15th Jul 2023
Took all gear out clean then couldn't manage the last meter to the lip. Jamming game weak. Imitated the whales when I got to the top.

Tr solo Onsight, great route, really enjoyable. Some great arm jams and what not up there

Surprisingly pumpy & a little overhang. 1 set of cams. Did not love the last quarter I was pumped and had to have a little sookie rest😔

3 stars? Hmmmmm. 19? Hmmmmmm
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Tom	Sun 29th Jan 2023
Very good and pretty tricky at the top. It’d be good to borrow a couple of extra bigger cams next time. Took a little fall when my jams failed me - exciting!

Awesome steep crack!
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Phillip Booth	Sat 8th Sep 2018
Felt a touch easier then Windjammer to me. Better lower half then Windjammer (not too hard) but the top half not as fun.
	19 Hard	★★★ Icebird - with Haily, Aurora Pandora	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Peter Melouney	Sat 28th Jan 2023
Wow so good. Juggy terrain till offwidth and then it starts. Fun!

My first Trad lead at perp if I remember right.

top roped it first then decided id give it a go on lead. some jugs with a few sus placements, lil crux through the wide bit. last bit is stella, got a bit gripped and had to want it
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 8th May 2011
08 May 2011. Brilliant climbing, pumped out 5m from the top and took an absolutely epic fall onto the bombproof gear below.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 1st Feb 2014
Great to get back on this a few years later for the tick. Still felt hard for 19, but no problems today as a warm-up. The off-width section goes easily, but is unpleasantly awkward. The rest of the climb is great. Perhaps not as amazing as I remember it (and I think there are better climbs on this wall), but still a classic.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Jayden	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Patrick Chambers	Mon 11th Sep 2023
Very nice climbing, quite the deep end for Jayden's first proper crack climb.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Hamish Kerr	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	oliver kerr	Fri 27th Jan 2023
Classic as always. The top crack is still a bit awkward...
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Nikhilesh Sharma	Sat 22nd Feb 2020
I would like pay homage to the Small Crack living life in the shadows, inside the big crack. Dear Small Crack , If it wasn't for you my life would have been so different. The hind of my pants might have been coloured slightly different on the top out. You provided a sneaky hand jam on the backs of which I rested for eternity, impersonating like a chicken bar PhD to the spectators. You provided me with ample protection without having to tow a cam of the size known to cause bad back for climbers who wear it on their harness. PS You are the hero we need but we don't deserve. Yours ever thanking, My pants and my laundry machine.

What a climb! Just brilliant the whole way!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with davedave, Stephen Hawkshaw	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Match	Mon 6th Jul 2020
Twas a tough choice between this and Windjammer for the OS Roshambo lead me here. total class there is no concern about Offwidth at all. double rack with a 5 for a lol
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Maria Bntwl	Sun 2nd Jul 2023
Oh trad. Nothing makes my mouth dryer. Great route, ran out of hand sized cams at the top which made it spicy!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Gabrielle Austen	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Marco de Jongh	Sat 30th Dec 2023
Cant remember the last time I thrutched this much! Some of the highlights: Got all the cams I needed stuck between myself and the crack, desperately downclimbed, moved gear, then realised my knee was stuck, started to panic as I didnt bring my rusty victorinox knife to help relieve me of my knee but then I realised it was actually quite a comfy way to rest. Slightly more rested I managed to wiggle my knee free, did the rest of the offwidth again. Made it to the handjams 3m from the top, but tired me could not get the jams to work resulting in me yelling take after which I nearly puked. After some rest and placing 5 nuts "just in case" I made it to the top where I finally met the legendary Nikhilesh Sharma hence the somewhat longer than usual tick. 12/10 cant wait to go again. Bonus: 1 cam proved hard to retrieve, so I got to climb the offwidth & handcrack again as a topropesolo, amazing how much easier it is if you can just ignore placing gear and instead climb the face. Then got my microtraxion stuck in the crack(yes while it was belaying me) which added even more excitement to my day....
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		linna	Sat 9th Sep 2023
pretty cool climb. the seaside sandstone felt more crumbly than usual. cleaning involved getting my elbow stuck in the awkwardly sized crack to retrieve gear. dolphins appeared when i was shimmying up the last couple of metres. all in all, quite an enjoyable route.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Lee Cujes	Fri 18th Apr 2014
Big trad action. Climbs so nicely for a trad route. Tons of big wires. Gets a bit old school up top.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	John Wilson	Sun 12th Jun 2005
I wished I had taped up! Those crystals in the wide crack bite a little.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	John Lattanzio	2006
classic, sustained climbing
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sat 19th Mar 2016
Great crack climbing for the grade but let down by the average rock at the bottom. Probably shouldn't get classic but I loved the top half.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Roman	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	James HG	Fri 3rd May 2019
Excellent crack
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Jakob Kapelj	Sun 8th Feb 2015
Tape made the climbing at the top nice. It was a grunt fest to get clean. Great climb
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Tom Bes	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Jake Delaney	Sun 18th Apr 2021
first time i've cried on a route. likely not the last time. rock quality/gear combo at the bottom did not inspire confidence. also don't be fooled: it's a crack climb for all of 30 seconds. otherwise, sure it's great

packs a punch
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Aaron Wong	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Henry Orton	Mon 12th Jun 2023
Will be coming back to this for the lead some day. The hand crack at the end is a step up from the rest of the climbing, but has perfect jams!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Ben Hanley	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Grace Mackie	Sat 4th Jul 2020
No skin left after Nowra, so took the opportunity to practice my jams (which need a lot of practice...)

Very nice!
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Gavin	Sat 23rd Jan 2021
Mega line, great moves, slightly marred by being able to skip the offwidth on face holds.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Emma Spencer	Sat 1st Feb 2014
Lovely crack. Forget the face at the top and jump right in!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Ngaire Beckett	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Elias	Sat 28th Oct 2017
Awesome climb!!!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Coedie	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Demetrius	Fri 21st Jul 2023
The whales put on a show whilst i belayed Coedie up this one. it's all there once you see it but there are a couple tricky points!
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	davedave	Sat 20th Jun 2020
End of day tronsight. Lovely (if a bit fragile) jug hauling to glory hands with just a hint of wideness. Perfect way to finish up the day.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	davedave	Tue 7th Jul 2020
Quick second before the rain.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Dave Scarlett	Wed 19th Apr 2017
Easy start, then ramps up once the wide crack is reached. The wide section has a thin hands crack at the back, so no big gear is needed, but take care not to lose cams in there! (There was a very much fixed BD #0.75 in there already.) Above the wide section is a crux hand crack finish which may be a touch soft for the grade.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Daniel G	Sun 10th Sep 2023
Was cruising up this until I slipped off the last move :(((
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Dane Evans	Sat 12th Jun 2021
Had to sit to get the cam out over the lip. My arms are too trashed to untie it still on the rock.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Damien Ayers	Sun 2nd Jul 2006
Lots of fun, make sure you know how to jam

AWESOME!!! Mega Classic
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★ Good	chou chou halperin	Tue 10th Jul 2018
Soft touch for the grade? Really cool line, but a lot of choss in the first half ruined the climb for me.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Grant Shu, Hannah Pringle, Kyla, Bonnie, Pete	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Carl Walsh	Sat 21st Oct 2023
Really good, definitely had to work for it
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Caleb Skirrow	Tue 14th Jun 2022
Loved it! Ripped up my skin tho, time to get some crack gloves
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Anton Korsun	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular		Brandon	Sat 15th Jul 2023
Went up pretty well until the final 1/3 of the climb. Found the crux to be the start of the almost offwith. Had to take the first rest here and then another closer to the top due to a very very stuck cam. Would definitely climb again.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Nicole	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Bernie Walsh	Sat 3rd Oct 2015
Great climb. It keeps you thinking the whole way. I was happy to get the onsight.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Debh	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Ben Taylor	Wed 29th Dec 2021
Unreal. Juggy up to the offwidth, then a lovely hand crack finish, absolute better.
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Ben Roberts	Mon 18th Jun 2018
Great finish, had a second attempt on the crack
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Ben Jenga	Sun 7th Oct 2012
Repeat. Classic climb and one of the windjammer must do's Not as hard as it looks and the offwidth is easy.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Grace Mackie	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Ben Hanley	Sat 4th Jul 2020
Definitely did not feel like leading this, but felt good to get in a lap on top-rope. I was disappointed to see how little crack climbing went into this route.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Peter Melouney	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Aurora Pandora	Thu 26th Jan 2023
Cruisy until the top where the crack is, need to work on my crack climbing techni and return to lead this!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with John, Peter Melouney, Ash Garrett	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Aurora Pandora	Sun 31st Mar 2024
Cruised the first half, struggled at the offwidth and wasted lots of energy as didn't want to give up. Eventually after thrutching my way up I had to rest on gear. Great hand jams on top, forearms were so pumped
	19	★★★ Icebird	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Andrew Scott	Sun 11th Dec 2005
I should learn to jam - face climbing it is hard...
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Tim Booth	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★ Very Good	Andrew Glover	Sun 24th Jun 2018
By headlamp!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Bernie	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Andreas Aachen	Sun 1st Apr 2018
....jamming is great...

Burly, wonderful crack climbing.

Great route! Wide bit is easy
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Ben Hanley	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Mega Classic	Adrian Kladnig	Sun 12th Mar 2017
Fantastic climbing but I was struggling at the end. Need to get my fitness back.
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Ancala	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Adam Mujaj	Sun 25th Jun 2017
I barely made it!
	19	★★★ Icebird - with Henry Orton	Trad 30m	Point Perpendicular	★★★ Classic	Aaron Wong	Tue 13th Jun 2023
This is a fantastic crack line that I will come back to lead next time. Off-width bit in the middle is tricky but mostly just awkward. Plenty of opportunities to catch your breath by getting yourself stuck in the crack. Blasted up the perfect hands at the end which was really the cherry on top of a great climb. Future notes for self: protection in the crack is good, don't need giant pieces for the off-width because the secondary crack inside will take medium cams. Double rack from 0.4-4 should be sufficient. Pro at the bottom is less good, but the climb is easy. Save a green/red for the hands at the end.

Nice jamming in the top half
