Ascents in Blue Mountains by James S having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Brilliant intro to trad multi with some cruxes to keep a sport climber honest! Did this on a super hot day but with a breeze and early-ish start it was fine (off the climb at about 11 or 11:30am).

Do yourself a favour and stick clip the first bolt! Spicy for the grade.

I took a full rack of wild country friends and a #6 nut up this one.

Wish I’d done this as my first multi! Would have been perfect training for Bunny Bucket. Only need 2-3 medium to large cams. Also all the carrots seem to have been replaced with bolts or were we missing something?

Top class exposure for the masses. Loved the vista from the P3 traverse. Marty W was a true legend who came out despite being sick as a hangdog and let me lead all the pitches for my first trad/mixed climb. Got off route on the final Grade 17 variant and ended up going right, placing a couple of cams and topping out the old-skool way.
