Ascents of Romancing the Stone

onsight first pitch

Pretty excellent climbing with a crux that'll make you think and then remain fairly sustained till the next belay. A size 3 BD C4 Cam comes in handy for that pitch too where it's a bit run out.

So glad we went and did this climb today, it is a total must do in Townsville! Such nice rock with such great climbing in such a lovely location makes this a true classic in my opinion. All 3 pitches are fun and total quality. There's not a dirty, dull or dodgy moment in the whole 50meters. Would be mega classic if pitch one and three were longer but only because it was so good it left me wishing for more! Go do it, for sure. Liam lead P1&3 and me P2.

Mega, amazing continuous face climbing on great rock and in a superb position. Needs the carrots at the top and the 2nd belay replaced

Second pitch takes gear. Third pitch feels a fair bit easier than 20?

What a fun climb! Did it as a trio on double ropes. Spewing I slipped off a few moves from the top of the 2nd pitch. Serves me right for forgetting my chalkbag 🤦‍♂️
