Good hand crack to start and interesting moves on to arete. Rope got stuck on abseil down front face so make sure your knot is over the edge before descending

A quite varied climb! The overhang start and the off width/chimney section are pretty engaging even on top rope.

Absolutely epic. Very secure hand jams and then thins out, need to come back and lead this. Didn't do p2 as didn't look great unless you have loads of small gear.

19 Joe Blake - with Ash 'Newton' Brennan Trad 60m
Jake Delaney
Ash took P1 and nailed it! Bazangin climb that packs quite the punch. Odin really feels like a mini Ikara, which I guess it actually is, with Ikara just down the valley and the Odin walls being a little smaller. Style vvv similar as well, but also, obvi. How's that for a controversial opinion?

17 Power Vacuum - with Oliver McDonald Trad 120m Average
Laurie Bristow
It seems this route has only been climbed once a decade since it was put up... First pitch was nice! Second pitch got interesting. Steep move to the right of the ledge covered in bushes and some mix of dead and alive trees. Bush bash through them then up to a layback before super easy slab section with minimal pro. Ollie slinged a dead tree for safety... Fun adventuring and wicked views from both belay ledges. Third pitch is basically a walk out. There's a nice stone you can wrap for an anchor at the top. Minimal trees for anchors.

16 Tower of song - with Gavin Rech Trad 30m
Bernard_P
The corner is sandy and every hold needs to checked or simply avoided, but the slab has a few good placements and good rock. More good gear in the middle part of the route and the bottom of the flake. The flake is awesome but quite intimidating. Yes, big cams needed for the middle/top of the flake, but there is a thread about 4-5m from the top. The flake lay-back moves are really cool - good footers on the left wall make a big difference. 16? Felt a bit harder than that, but it's somewhere around there.

 
17 Master and the apprentice - with Zi Hui Lie Mixed trad 45m, 5
Patrick Sparks
While I was belaying, Zi Hui Lie sent a huge rock down that had me diving for the cave, felt like a stampede came down upon me. After checking that I was still alive, I managed to send it nicely while seconding.

What was meant to be a rest day.

Belaying Anton on his first go on Lead. Seconded my way up to the belay ledge.

Anton gave it a fair go until the weather turned from bad to worse, and soon the crack became a waterfall. Bailed on some nuts and called it a day.

This is what iv been looking for.. a proper finger crack.. felt proper hard too.. stoked to get it clean it was a fight even on second. Accidentally added some bonus climbing to p1, Where the initials are I went straight up the finger crack instead of walking up the big ramp behind.

Clean 2nd (TRS). Still had some energy left at the end of the day, so -absent a belayer- I decided to do 2 x laps on this (the 2nd one clean) for some training. A bloody brilliant route. Challenging at 25, but still easier than Raving Bull (despite this being my 4th day on!)

21 Dude where's my cam? - with zachary vertrees Mixed trad 45m, 4 Good
Macciza a.k.a. Macca
Maybe soft at 21 ... Shuffling a #4 up the wide part works well if you only have 1 with you ... Roof crack can be avoided by angling right to arête and good gear at end of the roof ... Only 1 tricky move (particularly with a dodgy right knee) on top arête and could have had less bolts up there so loses a star for that

Prob only 35 m as yet again we simul-rapped on a 70m to get down.

 
19 El Dorado - with zachary vertrees Trad 35m Very Good
Macciza a.k.a. Macca
Prob best as 1 pitch which is how we did it. Prob only 35m as we simul-rapped back down easily on a 70m rope.

Clean repeat, this time Seconding Neil. Still great. Seriously deserves an onslaught of additional traffic.

The epiphany that this ISN'T Aladinsane (read my last ascent of this route on TheCrag) has caused me to question my life choices, where I'm going in my future, and what I really want to achieve. What is the meaning of the life, and the nature of the universe? Does our inability to measure self-awareness in other species actually preclude the possibility that it exists, and if not, do we need to change our perspective of our uniqueness on this planet. If the defining characteristic of self-awareness is the capacity for self-doubt, which can only be instantiated through the existence of other people (to whom we ascribe a value of their opinion great enough that we entertain the possibility that their perception is right, and ours is wrong) mean that the very notion of "self awareness" is a physical impossibility without a society, and thus was Sartre right when he proclaimed "hell is other people"?

Now this was mega! Led the first 19 pitch then seconded the next long pitch to the tree belay clean. What a pleasure!! A nice boulder sequence to gain the crack where the face holds end and the ring locks and finger jams begin! This climb has everything, a difficult offwidth, terrible feet, beautiful jams and locks and a steady pump that keeps you on your toes. Proud to second clean

This is something I would say is definitely worth the walk out for. The start is quite hard and requires a bit of delicate crimping, pulling and balance. It almost made us think the entire route was going to be like this mainly because there was no chalk whatsoever and it required Ro to do a bit of route finding. Luckily I got to second after all the hard work had been done (thanks Ro) and I think it climbed really well. Lots of interesting moves, quite sustained and the position is great (maximum views). Definitely recommended.

With Hugh. After the morning on chilly Sail Away Ledge, we nicked off and arrived at the Ikara car park at 2.45pm. Worth the long hot walk in and I'd go back to do the other stuff there. A stunning crack in glowing gold rock. Them guide book hand jams are man size hands - it was fist and arm bar for me, until, oh bliss, the top half gave up some fierce prickly hand jams. Next time I lose a tooth I am going to wish an anchor re-furb on Kaladan. A great afternoon's outing. Trad climbing rocks!
