Ascents in Blue Mountains as various tick types by Stu Dobbie

Great route.

Sweet as. Very clean at the moment, get on it to keep it this way!

Best warmup

Easy when you have big paws

Finally... after several attempts spread over 15 years! A clean tick!

Had to work for this one

The rings are pointless just stay on the Arete where the climbing is better.

easy to jam the flake as an offwidth and link the pitches

the short offwidth never gets easier

hard to jam that size from that position

Hard ring locks if you ignore the face holds

Crux was getting to the crack

First pitch great, but remaining pitches ordinary. More bridges than the murray.

neat little route

With broken shoulder in rehab.

First few pitches make you think! Cruisy thereafter.

Easy

A grand Bluies excursion. The first pitch is an enjoyable corner with great rock and moves. The second pitch is an interesting traverse with a diabolical move to exit. The third is a pumper with lots of holds and jams. The fourth bridges delicately up poor rock. No move is 20 and there is some bad rock in places, but overall a great route. Stays mostly in the shade in summer mornings, but take plenty of water anyway as the walk out is hot and thirsty. The #5 cam for the traverse only necessary if you're short and need to do the lower traverse. Double nuts, cams #0.5 to #4, with doubles in the #1.5-#3 range, and hexes which are most useful when the rock isn't so great.

Short cool crux then pleasant

It was probably better as a mixed route. I'd still take some gear to avoid decking into the ledge.

Very happy to get this one.

They don't make them like the used to!

Linked with Keenes Hobble for a fun day out.

Not a bad route. Two stars as there aren’t that many multi pitches at this grade in the Grose that aren’t horror choss fests.

last carrot annoying to clip, shoulda taken a wire

Start now has a stick-clippable ring bolt to protect the opening boulder problem, but the route remains a fun journey up the arete.

Pleasant. One thin bit in the middle to keep you on your toes. Final overhang thankfully a doddle!

Quite pleasant actually with loads of gear and nice moves all the way

Great climbing to start. Disappointing gear at the crux, which is weird as there is fixed gear protecting the easier sections which not really necessary.

Some nice moves but soft rock and choked with dirt at the top.

Loose and dirty in places
