Ascents in Anvil Rock

should be called overated route. another bullshit write up in the new guide that gets 5 stars???.

P1-45m sandpitt, broke a large foothold about the size of my anasazi, took a 5m fall.

P2-a few interesting moves followed by a choss highway.- broke a handhold on this occasion and took more air than michael Jordan, thanks to the sporty bolting...just below the thread-WTF!!

P3- onsight, couldnt find anything to pull off, but tried hard. Give this pitch 1 star

p4- broke another hold but hung on..lucky its only gr.12

ONE GOOD PITCH IN A SEA OF CHOSS DOES NOT = MEGACLASSIC!!!!

absolutely awesome all the way!! i lead first pitch grade 22 and fell at this tough crux pull to jug. climb well bolted!! face climbing with ledges every 4-5 moves so can rest. good exposure. was well protected even from the hail!! a must do climb!

Onsight all pitches. Probably one of the silliest things Ollie and I did.

First 2pitches are harder than the grade....bailed on the 24 pitch. Will return though, great moves and exposure

Super fun outing. First pitch has the standard chossy mantle ledges. Take a helmet.

would be quite difficult to onsite this! cool position, thought provoking climbing hahah

Cool! Premium Monty guiding! I don't think I would have ever found the rap point. It's directly downhill from the start of the track to wind eroded cave. A green fixed rope leads down a slippery rock shelf on the way. Don't be put off by previous trip reports - recent rebolting efforts have really improved this one. It's still sporting and runout in parts, but really well worth doing.

Seconded Mikl P1, led P2.

Second P1, led P2.

Secon pitch only at the end of day.

suprisingly a fun pitch in a stunning position!

Nice techy wall with a beaut perspective of the grose at golden hour. Great vibes
