Begehungen in KP North

The top bolt placement is questionable. Tricky to clip when the rest were fine. Decent climbing regardless.

Quite good! Top anchors is crazy overgrown ATM, but head right into the shrubbery to discover the anchors. Love the mother of all finger locks rivalling Pig City!

And another really good beginner lead that deserves traffic

Another great beginner lead.

These are amongst the best quality low grade routes at KP - great beginner leads on good rock! Get on them!

Getting to the first bolt through the mank, veg and wetness is a tad sketch. Stick clip is a good idea. The rest of the route is superb. The top anchors are hiding beneath a matted mess of vines and I found the anchors - whilst in great nick - under a pile of dirt. In need of some garden work and more traffic! 2nd shot. Great face climbing.

Stiff, potentially owing partially to the ridiculous amount of dirt and grass I needed to clean on the way up. Good adventure training. Again, a great line when clean.

Great! Would be even greater with a clean! Getting into the corner is sublime. Beware wasps atop the corner.

Like every route here, would be good with a clean.

Second shot. This actually has some fantastic climbing and is a a great line! The top is very grassy but barring that, it's a great line with good steep slabbing. It is unfortunately - however - behind a "no climbing" sign and we did get told off by a council cleaner so retrieved our gear and left.

Fantastic! The first bolt placement is an interesting decision haha, with the runout above it. Great climbing, though this line will get harder over time with the many temporary holds.

Id been hanging for a while to do this one and pushed our 2nd aid training session into the sun to jump on first thing this morning, but like johnny on beau brummel, i was sadly disappointed. 1 nice rockover move high on the arete but the crack is contrived and can be used more easily to stem against the corner instead. The flop onto the ledge at the chains completes the trinity of nice looking moves that are actually a pain in the arse I took out my frustration on the portaledge later on.

kinda sketchy, clipped some bolts from 'The middle of a dream' to stay safe. very slabby

Leaded and cleaned it. It was fun.

Cool little journey on this! Takes you through interesting features.

Mostly good rock, but can't remember any part of it and I only did it a few hours ago haha

Pretty chossy, even for KP! Get rid of that one-star haha

Dirty near the top, but decent climbing. Foot sized loose block near top beneath final crack. Couldn't pull out, but definitely take care in the event it comes loose and flies towards your belayer

Cleaning

Neat climb with those old school runouts.

Moist is an understatement.

Spoogy doesn’t cut it, was moist as heck. Still decently fun and drier than basically everything else at KP north so can’t complain

Nice climbing, though easy for 18 if you don't go direct up the slab up the top. going direct is very contrived and potential to hit the ledge, so I'd recommend going up one of the corners. More like 16 this way.

Quite good climbing most of the way! Top to the anchors is pretty crumbly, but in a cool way. I found the 2nd bolt to be strangely off to the right - anyone else find this?

Great work to those who rebolted KP North - very nice to climb some new routes at KP, that stay in the shade longer, too!

Good sustained climbing. Lead last 2 Bolts to chains after Derek got stuck.

A few tricky bits

Hard start

Warm up

Nice warm up.
