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 | 120m | Average | ||||
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 | 30m | |||||
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 | 45m, 5 | |||||
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.

21 | ★★ Dude where's my cam? - with zachary vertrees | 45m, 4 | ★ Good | ||||
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 | 35m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
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.

18 | ★★ Reincarnation - with Heath Black | 30m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
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"? |

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!
