Ascents in Australia as Lead by JD

Lead it this time, late in day and not so gracefully. Fantastic climbing!

Repeat

Holds are good up to the crux above the third bolt. Leap of faith move required to move beyond there. Excellent fun!

Easy 14. Sharp edges, a rope protector would've been good. Great intro route to cranking for befinners

Pumpy, tough start but excellent

Great fun!

Really enjoyed it. Challenging 14, sustained but plenty rest spots. Make use of the arête. Two carrots a long way of the edge - take 240cm sling for lower off

Easy. Mantle at peak to two carrots long way back. Take 240cm sling.

Repeat

Easy for a 17. Intro to exposure.

Tough 14. Pointless

Repeat

Tricky start

I reckon crux is mantle on blank (for a 12) section near summit

Cracker route. Great introduction to exposure for beginners.

Excellent! 2 or 3 thought provoking moves there.

Enjoyable. Tough first move for a 13.

Slippery. Good warm up. Guidebook grades as 16

Easy first two bolts. Corner is so fun, classic status. Last bulge (from final ubolt to the anchor bolts) is the crux, prob more an 18 move. Very fun climb!

Nice fun quality rock. Crux coming out of the overhang, awkward move. A tough 15.

Fun little cracker. Pretty easy 17

Repeat. Fantastic 14!

Hardest move down low but overall very fun

Great warm up

repeat. sustained

repeat. Great warm up!

Little run out at top, helps to have a cam

Crux at very beginning. After that, great fun the whole way up w an undercling and a couple easy mantle sections. Take plenty of bolt plates (we were short and had to keep downclimbing) - think i must've counted 8 or so...? A rope protector would've been handy too for how the anchor is set up.

Bit of everything in this for such a short climb - Satisfying overhang w great jugs to begin, balancy slab in the middle and just when you don't know where to go next, there's a miracle right-hand hold at the end of your reach. Similar impression to a gym route which someone has put some thought into building, with the added bonus of fresh air!

Fun climb. Noticably easier than Andrew's Bulge.

Fun climb. Dodgy-looking carrots at top for belay down. I wandered to the right at the top and belayed off next route's bolts.

Excellent warm up. Tricky start (for a 13).

Longer and easier than Whippersnapper. Great holds and feet the whole way up.

Overhang start with solid holds. Great for early overhang experience, actually. Satisfying.

Tricky start. Easier as you go up. Very enjoyable, short, little climb.

Challenging start. Sustained. Favourite climb of our day - definitely deserves classic status.

Great fun. Take a 240cm sling for lower off as bolts are a fair way back from the edge.

Little damp. The crux is the footwork leading up to the first bolt. Great run to break in our new gear!

One of my early leads. Relatively easy because holds are great the whole way up, but there's a bit of endurance involved.
