Ascents in Newnes Plateau as Clean

Rpt, quick last climb before heading back to work.

Good area for our friends to start consolidating leading

Tried to climb this as a 70m pitch from the ground. Despite hideous rope drag, I finally fell off on the last hard move of the route. A rather ambitious effort considering its "untrafficked" nature. Dragged Monty up to the belay, and we both sent the top pitch in a more rational style. Quite good rock and climbing (especially on the second pitch), and brilliant exposure at the grade. Take a 0.4 cam for the top!

Clean repeat. A great warmup, and a bloody great route. Never gets old

Only repeated to clean my gear.

Went back up to clean my gear.

Onsight First ascent(?) by Zac and cleanly seconded by Jamie and myself. Almost came off in offwidthy thrutch section just before cave but kept it together. Strange how sometimes one can seemingly completely forget , or at least not remember, or perhaps ignore, sequences you've just watched others do...

Good fun old fashioned climbing, done in fine style by all...

Rpt, nice crack, a bit troublesome to traverse to anchors, deserves its own and a bit of a hammer near top

Run out as well, first carrot bolt is pretty high too. Cool climb other than that.

Pretty runout, had a hard time trusting the rock not to break.

TR to clean

Sandbagged. Probably an 18. Fun and exciting but still very many loose holds and bits that pop off when you look at them. Watch out for the massive block after the 6th bolt that's asking to be pulled off. Acess is tricky from a vegetated ledge. Stick clipping first bolt is mandatory.

bolts are looking awful, glad i wasnt leading it
