Ascents in Blue Mountains by Nick Cormack

(26) A great steep line. 3rd shot

I have wanted to get back on this for about 2 years but just haven't been out to the Freezer. 2nd shot today (4 all up) and like the name suggests was very pumped clipping the chains. Long routes are Rad. Great to see Jen almost get it 2nd shot. so close.

Great moves although getting to the 1st bolt sucks.

One of the best at the Freezer I reckon. Great face climbing

Sustained and better moves than the famous good big dog. Happy to flash then did it again for endurnace.

Onsight with the draws on Hmm - Could be a flash. Didnt really like it, all the holds are too big though you do get a wee bit pumped

twice this weekend. Rad

Almost decked off first clip, dogged the rest

First tried April 2005. Hadn't been back to the Freezer till today. Warmed up on it and got a bit too pumped. Ticked it 3 times after that for good measure. Good stamina training for me at the moment

Dogged on top rope, nice moves though

Shiiiiiiiiiite. Can someone grab the massive dish above the anchors and tell me if it breaks.

Onsight

Onsight

Wind was howling which made it a long day. My 2nd multi and first one i lead pitches. Took us 12 hours car to car thanks to some slow climbing thanks to the wind

One fall on the second 23. Led 2,4th etc. Broke a hold off after the roof bit had to prussick back up. Jules led that pitch and took about an 8m whipper. Perfect weather and a good day though.

2nd shot. crimpy and sort of fun but not great

lucky 2nd shot. Fun but nowhere near as good as the 27's on the main wall. fell my way up it.

Pretty nice climbing.

2nd go. Was happy. Nice Climb.

so excited. walked out in the rain and top was dry. 1st shot of the day and first time on it in about 2 years and first day on rope in about 3 months. ohh yeah and at 2 months it was Lilly's first trip to the mountains.

Mmm 3 shots so far, fantastic pumper.

First time Ive got on a 27, never got on a 26 but def. harder than a 25. I grunted I groaned and I rested.

Tricky moves but good rests make it not that bad. 1st attempt 09/05, 5 shots in total.

not bad moves but the rock is gritty and roughs up my delicate fingers. Also two key holds are glued on. hmm suspect

Loved the slab move and the initial moves out the roof. Was pumped stupid on the traverse and had to skip the last two clips. How good is rockclimbing!

fully sick bro, has 3 stars for a reason

tough start and fun committing finish

pumpy, not bad, had a rest cause it was a warm up, but not too hard

Great warm up

hmm, I'm claiming the flash although I did take a fall when I ripped a rather large hold off, good climbing but the rock is a bit dubious up high.

Intriguing and fun I thought

Pumpyyyy

1 shot, moves arent too bad, kidding myself if I think I have the fitness at the moment. I'll be back in a year or so.

PUMPY!!!

great start juggy ending

Excellent

The 3 climbs are great little warm ups. Nice'n pumpy.

Great way to finish the weekend, sustained quality

tits a bit chilly said my hands, my fingers said what I dont feel nuthin.

I loved this climb. Wussed out at the 3rd bolt 1st shot. 2nd shot

Lots of shots but first shot today - isnt that what counts. I dont really like the comunal start but the moves on the onions bit are great. Will shoot for the extension via the veterans start me thinks.

Bouldery. Hard moves but seemed to link together quicker than I thought. 5th Shot. Broke a footer 2nd shot - sorry.

First go. Another great Boronia climb.

Felt like a flash. Had been on it years ago but couldnt remember a thing. A great battle to the chains. Dang good fun.

Nice bunch of crimps in the middle. Short and not that inspiring compared to whats around the corner which unfortunately was in the sun at the time I thought I'd give this a crack.

Dogged but fun

Dogged but fun

Dogged. Hard start took a while to work out

Crap start and not that interesting after that

Really nice climbing

Has everything, slab, overhangs, exposure and a crux right at the end. Will be a tough tick but work it.

I was tired and I just couldnt give it a good go. So I rested until the crux and got the crux first go so I was happy.

Once the climbing starts it is very fun

Great Crux sequence. Thought it was lalaland until i go to the anchors and al said it wasn't. Tried without sucess in about Dec 05. Got 2nd go this time.
