Bulk jugs, bit of loose stuff

Training/assessment climb.

P1 - Gary - scramble/easy climbing to bolted belay

P2 - Dave - step up and then traverse right avoiding the death blocks above following the (sometimes out of view jugs) to DBB. Few loose rocks on this pitch. Reasonable gear.

P3 - Marhall - ended up on a variant - original route heads up and right - lead through left. To DBB belay on ledge with cave on left facing cliff.

-Variant 18 from this belay through obvious steep crack to top of cave

P4 - Gary - crawl through cave then immediatedly right after exiting cave - belay on top of cave then move belay to adjacent tree for next pitch

P5 - Dave - up initial bulge in front of tree with reasonable gear, then fun climbing. Event with doubles and long slings rope drag sucked. Belay on ledge with lone pine, below and left of prominent horn.

P6 - Marshall right then up from the belay through obvious weakness in the steep wall, the back left above horn and upwards to the summit. Belay from bolders/tree at top.

Return to start by scrambling up and left from the belay, keeping the uphill summit on your right, stepping across saddle to find chains behind large bush - rap ~40meters to massive ledge, scramble/via ferrata to rap station.

Bit of challenging route finding, some placements needed a bit of gardening. Bolts look in reasonable condition.

Took several rests on first half. Reasonable gear, lots of small cams.

?pretty sure we were on this

funsies

Nice little corner. Rapped in off 2* bolts on top ledge above onto spacious ledge below. Climbed corner/squeeze chimney with good gear, before getting a bit intimate straddling the corner. Obviously doesn't get much traffic with a fair amount of vegetation and a fixed rope in situ around the top tree.

Last climb of the day, struggled to get off the gound.

nice jams low down, getting a bit thin up top.

still making a mess of the crimpy crux.

feeling lot easier low down, difficult to do the hand jam finish due to TR anchor. Lovely little corner

Got a bit spanked. Manky jams.

awesome climb, struggled a lot.

warm up.

finished the climb after lorne put up the draws.

reasonable gear, fun climb

Nice gear, fun climbing

feeling a lot easier then previous, still haven't linked up.

2 laps

?not too sure what I was on, this is smiley. 3 laps

TR tick (missed 'eye') hard to jam in runners

top roped split into two pitches, clean to the big ledge. Dogged the upper pitches but uncertain if off route, a few pretty challenging moves. Made a bit harder by jumaring and hauling.

few laps on solo TR to get a bit of climbing in on a day off.

Lovely climb of delectable little crimps demanding quality footwork.Bit of digital punishment.

Unfortunately didn't get the eye - pretty hard to make work on fixed rope belay.

nice lil climb

lovely little climb, super quick rigging on the bolts.

Felty pretty rusty on my first sports lead in a while

starting to get a feel for it...

Awesome little climb. Attempted on TR - crushed right index finger in a jam.
