22 | ★★ La Nina - with Ben Sanford | 58m, 1 | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Mon 6th Sep 2021 | ||||
A brilliant and very worthy mini tradventure. I fell off straight away at the start of pitch one, came down from the first piece of gear, ditched most of the rack because it weighed so much, and fired it off. Such a classic and quite feisty pitch, felt quite 23 honestly. Second pitch was a fun ramble, I broke off an enormous footer though and went for an unexpected and exciting one arm dangle. Pitch three is also great; a novel roof crack to start and pleasant layback to finish. Doubles (or triples!!) to 0.5 and singles above that seemed like a good rack. Wires were helpful too. Barely need any quickdraws, maybe four regular ones and two extenders for the roof on pitch three. You can also take one bolt bracket for the belay at the end of pitch two, but it probably isn't necessary. The bush bash off the top also wasn't too bad, definitely faster than trying to rap and walk out normally.

Mega mega mega! Definitely one to add to the trad canon. Started up Boisterous then stepped right at the ledge as per FA and pulled the rope up and dropped it back down at the stance for drag purposes. All the bolts had draws on them but I placed all the trad on red point except for the two fixed wires that I hung the draws on during the send. I could wax lyrical but you should just go do it instead. Second go.

Brilliant route from James and Hugh! Deserves a whole lot more attention than it gets. With this, Harbinger, and La Niña, Boyce Town has some of the best under appreciated cracks in the mountains. Second go on the first pitch and then onsighted the upper two pitches linked together with Paul belaying on the ground. The first pitch is an amazing roof crack at about 24 that is unfortunately guarded by a pretty hard boulder off the ground (I do not know what grade it is). This should however not put you off! With one aid move or climbing in via a bolt to the left you can access the amazing upper crack which really is rad, or just do the move. The upper pitches are a bit shit and on shit bolts; either very old carrots or stainless bash ins. I wouldn’t really recommend bothering to do them. I didn’t enjoy the climbing and thought it was kinda dangerous; probably takes away from the quality of the first pitch. A much better thing to do would be to step right and finish up La Niña for sustained trad radness (or lower off). Because of rope drag and gear and general shitness and so I could rap clean the route, after pulling the steep section on the top pitch I climbed direct up the grey jugs instead of traversing left to the snappy orange rock for the last few metres. I think this makes the climbing less offensive and allows you to get to the tree belay on top in a way that means you can easily belay or rap. You can rap from this tree to the anchor at the top of the first pitch on a 70m.

Wow, quite a "journey" of a route. I'd love to claim the onsight, but I actually pumped out at the 3rd bolt (2m into the climbing) after battling to get a long runner on an over-recessed bolt. Came down to the start, off I went, and Onsight from the 3rd bolt to the top. A kinda "traddy-style", sparsely bolted, wandery adventure route that wouldn't feel out of place as part of a multipitch. Lots of tough sequences between mega-rests, but quite runout. If you don't use double-ropes, you need to back-clean the 2 most rightward bolts, or suffer the worst rope drag in history. The top section is more sustained than I expected, with a funky, gnarly variety of moves up a linked series of cool features.

Iron Curtain. (10m left of la Nina). The 1st pitch starts with a steep, thin finger crack to a ledge then up through a stellar horizontal roof crack. AWESOME climbing, funky moves (Grade 25- five stars, trad).
The 2nd pitch is on some old carrots and is an interesting mixed pitch at 21 ending in a brilliant splitter crack. Four stars.
The 3rd pitch another 21 on a bullet hard, steep, orange rock with a number of hand placed carrots. Three stars.
The new route is aptly called "Iron Curtain", a vestige of another era... |

A good tradventure. It goes hard, scary, then glorious. First pitch is probably the best "climbing pitch", the start is a single hard pull (hard), followed by nice thin crack (still hard). Pitch two is virtually a solo, very little gear and lots of average rock (not terrible but definitely not great). Pitch 3 is awesome, another hard pull over the lip and the coolest, easy lay back crack (most enjoyable part of the climb, easily). If doing it again I'd take at least doubles of 0.3-0.5 (maybe a few C3s as well), and a single set up to 3 (nothing bigger) and a single set of nuts.

A very good outing. The start is stiff for the grade, like a hard Frog Buttress 22. I fell off it a couple of times and handed the line to tradgod Neilio After that it backs right off. Second pitch is a very nice corner then left wall. Didn't find it chossy or run out (contrary to other comments). Last pitch is fun and cruisy. Take a couple of yellow and red alien size cams for the first pitch.

A genuinely mega trad route, that should be on everyone's "classic cracks" list. The roof of the first pitch is all-time mega steep crack climbing, with great gear, and stacked moves all the way to the anchor. And yes, Anton Korsun they're actual crack moves
The 2nd pitch has a scary start, but otherwise is great crack climbing. I linked the pitch into the top pitch (which was rather gnarly, having only brought 3 bolt plates). Pitch 3 has a very hard start through a rooflet, followed by pleasant facey rambling. IMHO, I'd suggest continuing up the grey slab to the top, rather than traversing out left to carrots. (I did the traverse, and just found it contrived.) Regarding my 24M1 grading on P1: I never managed to do 1 move off the ground (between the slippery righthand crimp, and the first tight fingerlock -which I can only just fit back-3 1-pad in with careful placement- with no feet) so climbed with the left hand pre-set-up, then up to the top (hence a point of aid off the ground). I'm not sure whether the collapse of the foot pedestal at the base of the route may be a factor, or whether I just have to concede that the start is too thin/hard for me. Regardless, doing it with a point of aid off the ground was still great climbing I had some bad luck on the rest of the First pitch; breaking off a key hold, pinching a nerve in my hand so bad I had to drop off to recover, and taking a gear-ripping fall at one point. As such, my ascent was far from perfect style. Still, the fact I totally rate this crack despite these setbacks, is a testament to how good it is |

Wow. Intimidating roofs are tamed by the presence of buckets. The face climbing is just as good and makes for a great mix of climbing. None of the moves seemed hard but its somewhat sustained? Need another lap up it!

Dogged the crux, has anyone used the flake to the crimp or have you campused right and heel to cam mantled to the brain 🧠????
Above this is possible the best 20/21 in the bluies its a shame it has such a odd start. Dogging your way through the crux is worth it for 25m of mega. Think serendipitous and if you haven't climbed at serendipitous walls quit your job and go climb there tomorrow |
