Ascents in Australia as Clean by Mark Gamble

23.6.2005 Scott lead it & I 2nded. Quite a nice route.

2nd'd Scott up this one, a nice climb, nice moves on it. Definitely want to lead it next time I'm out there.

3rd'd Jake & Graham up this one. It's a nice outing, comfortable at the grade I thought.

2nd'd Dan up this one, it's quite good, the gear's bomber all the way, so are the holds, definitely worth 2* in my book. March 2003 - (OSF) A nice lead for the beginner.

Dave lead it. Gear's OK all the way. Definitely wouldn't go L, as the guide says, there's no station, so we headed R to Weight Watchers belay chains.

Again to check out the pro.

Dave chose this one 1st up. It's definitely the world's easiest 15 - no harder than Artful Dodger (13) next to it. Gear's good all the way.

Very thin & committing crux, no feet, just smears. Getting over the overhang isn't all that easy either.

Checking out the pro on it. Bit chossy but it could go with careful placements.

Terry wanted to lead this scarey mother. Very thin holds to the 1st gear at 7-8m.

Got it this time. With Geoff.

This didn't feel any easier than the 16 right next to it (Third Degree). Marcus lead it. His critical cam placement under the roof was not ideal, but he got there in the end. Again this one is way too short.

2nd'd Dave up this one, still just as nice. 19.12.04 There are some really nice moves on this one, but it's way too short. Terry Belayed.

Nice climb & nice lead by Dave. Bit of a scary run-out crux.

With BRC.

With BRC. Got up it clean with some help from my belayer.

Debbie chose this one as her 2nd lead & got a mouthful. Just getting the 1st bolt is pretty scary. The thin finish & hot afternoon rock didn't help, but she got there in the end. Very nice lead at her limit I'd say. 15.1.2005 We jumped on this one, aftrer it stopped raining & the rock had dried a little. Dave started on the wrong side (R) which made for a mini epic clipping the 1st bolt. It's a 13 in the guide (bit stiff for the grade) - a nice lead for beginners - 1P with a 60 rope.

Debbie did a nice job of leading this one 1st up, close to her limit. 15.1.2005 Dave chose an easy one to warm up on. It's definitely a good route for beginners.

Very nice jamming & crack for a 14. 3rd Tony & Kerry up this one after they'd done Mari.

3rd Tony & Kerry up this one. Rather tricky start I thought for an 11. Scrapped my knee against the rock at the start & there was blood every where on the way up - not so good. Got some great pics of the cave & the incredible routes on Dreadnought Gully on the other side.

This was an easy tick for a 19. 2 go-ey moves & it's all over. The rest is pretty ordinary. The best part is the incredible caves system & stalactites at the belay ledge atop. Just had to come back to get some pics of this. Susan lead it - nice job too, as she's short which makes the crux all that more tricky.

With EFC, Susy belayed and had a go.

With BRC, Graham on belay, got it first go - what a buzz!

Got this clean, did a bold pinch grip at the crux.

Marcus lead it. Last one of the day. It was getting hot & we were both tired. Some very thin moves getting from 5th to 6th bolt made me wonder about the route & the grade.

2nd Dave up this one after he lead Third Degree.

Did it again today with Marcus leading it, but this time I climbed the actual climb, out to the R above the overhangs. Some cool moves. 19.12.04: Terry led it. Nice line up a R-facing corner, but way too short.

With EFC. An easy one, but not the best, the good ones were taken.

JJ lead up this one & I have to say, if I hadn't seen JJ make the crux move I would have been stuffed, but as it was I gritted my teeth & managed the overhanging crux. Nice route, I'd like to lead it next time I'm up there.

With EFC.

With EFC. Buddah belayed.

With BRC. Awlays a good one

Geoff lead it.

2nd Dave & Mike up this pleasant climb

Your typical Griaween special: runout, but not too scarey. I 2nd Dave & Mike up this one one a glorious Winter's day.

With EFC. Nice one for people to throw themselves at.

With BRC.

With the EFC gang one Sat. down at KP. Daylight makes all the difference at KP. After a couple of falls & getting the moves down pat, I did it clean - hoszat?

With Craig & Kati.

With Craig & Kati. Struggled to get thru it clean.

With Craig & Kati. Struggled to get thru it clean.

With EFC, Susy or Jon belaying. It wasn't until 2004 that I finally put together a start to this one after watching Steve Waite do the start his way. Definitely up for a Red Point soon!

A nice 2P climb. I 2d Wayne up this one, not feeling all that strong due to the onging Glandular

Bit grungy with lots of vegetation. I 2d Wayne up this.

With Greg. Just terrific.

Eial lead this & Onya & I 2nd'd. Nice little climb, a good work out.

Eial picked this one as it was in the shade & it turned out to be an interesting line. I really like the move through the overhang & up the face - neat stuff! Gotta go back n Redpoint it.

Some nice moves on this one, but more importantly the gear is there, no death run-outs. Onya belayed while Wayne set-up on Dramp, then she Greenpointed it too.

With EFC. Jon belayed.

2nd Mik up this one - a very sustained climb on thin holds.

With BRC.

With EFC.
