Ascents in Kissing Point having Beta

Flashed in skate shoes

V1 or V2

got some soloing done today. feels good

not much gear at the start compared to the other routes

Maybe easier than 17

Top rope solo with rest.

Onsight TR Solo. Climbs nice enough

Onsight TR Solo

I think I took the right route. A bit loose.

A nice move or two at the crux but the rest isn't worth it. Vegetated and loose near top. Got stung by wasps.

A bit contrintrived - forcing you to climb the blank section with good handholds just left or right.

I think this is the route I did.

I think this is the route I did.

The fig tree needs a bit of a trim as it gets in your way. Also needs a FH and nut else you risk impaling yourself on the fig tree. The fig tree is now much bigger than it is in the topo. Climbs alright.

It's a nice start but a few loose blocks. The finish isn't that good... Couldn't find anything decent to belay from. There's a hole from where the BB was. The first FH is kinda hidden by a clump of grass.

Wasps just after second FH. There is a hole but missing bolt belay. However there's a perfect boulder at top for belay. Climbs nice.

Probably harder than a 21. All the nuts on the bolts are loose, bring a spanner. no chains at the top?? Bring a long sling or cord to wrap the rock at the top for a solid TR anchor. A good route for Townsville though, limited choss (and limited holds in the lower section, maybe some have broken off over the years?) We cleaned all the trash around the base, will come back and clean the graffiti.

Love it love it love it. Probly quite irrational but this was the first gr 21 I could do.

Faster than walking to the top

good warm up

I think this is the route we did, start about 3m L of overhung block, trad all the way, quite pleasant compared to the usual stuff here

better than doing nothing on a wet day

overgraded, unless you stay tight in the corner

The top is very commiting slapping on an arete!

led on bens gear and beta, slipped off first move

Attempted this 4 years previous, but couldn't get to the first bolt. Contrived. The right pillar is too easy to use.

Gresat moves on good rock for this crag.

Very nice slabbing. Casey seconded it clean her 1st 17.

Pritty cool. Loads of bolts and some technical moves.

not very inspiering.

nice fun arete.

Fun little wall after a swim in the rockpool.

tried to onsight it, managed to clip last bolt but left arm pumped out. The trick is a left toe hook!!!

i found the gear to be a bit sckety. it was a bit run out after the first bolt.

meh, pro was alright

I think steve solo'd this one day.

A cranking start with little relaxation the further you go up, I still can't believe I didn't fall on my first ascent.
