Good 4 bolts for 25m that's enough right.
	24	★ Licking Holes Creek	Sport 60m		Fraser	Sun 11th Jun 2023
Grabbed a draw to clip because I didn't want to take a dangerous whip and immediately went down to holds and climbed on.

Interesting traverse on P1, excellent thin slab P2.

I led P2 (crux) excellent, delicate crux near top. Jim lead p1 and p3. Sport.

Beautiful weather, out warming up the alpine multipitch fever. Fantastic cruisy day with my man Ado. Stellar onsight for the fella, i took a rest at the top pitch and was otherwise psyched with route, fun, well bolted, goodness.
	19	★★ Cat's in the Cradle	Sport 53m	★★ Very Good	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 19th Apr 2015
With Neil. Climbed out at the end of the day with a combination of pack-hauling and climbing WITH packs... Not a reccommended exit, since the Wall Of Tree bush-bash back to the road is harder than the climb (and took longer). P1 - Clean 2nd (okay, easy traversing on good rock); P2 - Onsight (hard start, a few thin and reachy moves, and a rather desperately thin crux section at 2/3rds height); P3 - Clean 2nd (not so good. Ironstone dinnerplates, vegetation and sand). Probably best to bail from P2

P1 Drew. P2 me. Lovely grey slabbing. P1 traverse was fun. P2 A tough thin bit up high but made easier if you wander just a little.

Climbed the 1st and 2nd but didn't bother with the 3rd. Can lower to the ground from the top of the second with a 70m. Fun traverse and some great grey rock that gets overlooked these days.

Foggy start to the day, got lost trying to find rap down Jugantor, almost got ropes stuck on rap - turned into a glorious winter day's climbing! The climbing was engaging and well bolted, some pure slabbing high up in a great position in the middle of a grey wall.

nice outing. Highlights include clean hand traverse on pitch one, and really balancy but well protected crux on pitch two. We abseiled off, pulling ropes was awkward rd
	19	★★ Cat's in the Cradle - with Thomas Morey 1 19 53m 2 3	Sport 53m	★ Good	Tom Atkinson	Sat 16th Nov 2019
Nice hand traverse on P1. Cruxy trust the feet type slabbing on P2 for 2 moves. Felt over bolted though
	19	★★ Cat's in the Cradle - with Jon, Gav, John	Sport 53m	★★ Very Good	dcouter	Sun 4th Oct 2020
I led 1st & 3rd, John led 2nd. Great traverse on the first and crimpy crux on the second. If you top out be prepared for some proper bush-bashing to get back to the top of the walk-in gully. John didn't bring his approach shoes. Don't be like John.

Committing with freezing fingers. Good slabbing until the middle of P2. Partner went left through crimps, I went right to reachy holds. Bolt was reachily in the middle of these options. Would probably rap from top of P2 as P3 is short and the abseil of LHC was a tough rope pull
	19	★★ Cat's in the Cradle - with Victor Rodriguez	Sport 53m		Bonnie	Mon 26th Sep 2022
possibly better without full packs...

Linked pitch 2&3 with alpine draws for drag, worked well. Rapped with 70m rope from top to belay point top of first pitch, rope didn't quite make it...but made it work (dodgey). an 80m rope would be better for 2 pitch rappel or 3 pitch rappel for short rope to be safer.
	19	★★ Cat's in the Cradle - with Tom	Sport 53m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter	Mon 8th Apr 2024
Awesome! Looks a bit shit from the ground but there is a lot of value in the 2nd pitch. The traverse on P1 is fun and cruisey. P2 - I didnt read that the thin crux was near the top and I thought Id done the thin moves before I got there. Full value slab at the grade. The walk out is also a bit shit too. Felt very lost bush bashing our way out. Followed the cliff line as best as we could until we found a track.

P1 only. bailed at the 2nd last bolt. Diabolically hard moves past the bolt which I couldn't stick. Exciting climbing up mostly perfect rock BUT this route is littered with broken sandy flakes which is a bit of a let down. Was unable to stick what appeared to be the crux move below the upper bulge and bailed.

Only time for a quick go at the 1st pitch. I'm still open to the idea of coming back to this and sussing it properly. Some really cool and surprisingly dynamic moves (for a face climb?) up an obvious line of features, though I was surprised at the rather mixed rock quality. Had a few worthy sections of linkage on the onsight attempt.

	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sat 14th Jul 2012
3 shots. The same move on the blunt arete at the start shut me down every time on the tick... Pull back on after fall, do the move clean, then clean to the top. Definately have to get on it when I'm more rested. Really awesome climbing, quite long, and quite a lot of hard moves (3 particularly cruxy sequences). Beautiful rock. Amazing exposure. A technicians delight.

This was great climbing until the heat and spooge caused lack of contact to the rock occurring........will be back.
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Sun 19th Apr 2015
P1 only. Good to clean up this old dog. Still took me 2 shots to put together the lower arete crux, though the full sun MIGHT have been a factor. The lower crux move felt like I was working damned hard on the tick. Until the top 10m of P1, this is some of the best (and weirdest) rock in the Blueys... But despite being great climbing, it the climb itself doesn't QUITE take advantage of that mega rock. The middle flowstone is refreshing to hold. The upper crux is hyper-thin and techy.
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m	★★★ Mega Classic	Jason McCarthy	Sat 2nd Jul 2016
What a line! Only just blew the onsight. Sent it 2nd shot easily. Amazing climbing,this route is everything I love about climbing.

Good, but maybe not as good as the book sells it. Pretty nice exposure and some sweet moves. A very hard 23, I would easily give it 24. Some committing moves on the initial slab. Lead both pitches.
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m	★★★ Classic	Jacob Netherton	Mon 28th May 2018
P1 - Ben P2 - Me Had to pull on some draws on the second pitch, the traverse to the first bolt on the second pitch is nice and scary (fried my nerves). Amazing climbing though, has it all, aretes, slabs and a little juggy overhung climbing.
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m	★★★ Classic	Sami	Sat 20th Oct 2018
Classic climb, requiring technique and not too much burl. Only did the first pitch. The second looks interesting.

A true, very chalkless onsight today with much flash pump and concern about where the holds were. Good to do this as it's sort've been on the list for quite a while. Really fun climbing with some wild features and amazing rock but alas the best of it is very very easy. I thought it was fairly tricky but there are a number of ledgey rests to break it up. Pitch two looks like a bit of an abomination and not inspiring at all.

	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs - with Martin Cankov	Sport 73m		Meredith Apple	Sat 15th May 2021
Wha? That second pitch? Where are the holds? Grit stone, palmy pressure climbing at it best. Thank you Martin for the patience as I fell a bunch of times trying to get established. Really cool climbing though! I would do it again!

A big ol bag of sand, simultaneously horrible and classic.
	23 Hard	★★★ The Master's Eggs - with Maxwell Cullen	Sport 73m	★★★ Mega Classic	Meredith Apple	Mon 10th Apr 2023
Why does this not get more ascents? This is, with out a doubt, one of the best, silliest and unique climbs in the bluies. Would not recommend if 23 is your limit but wow. Techy thin and delightful
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs - with Meredith Apple	Sport 73m		Maxwell Cullen	Mon 10th Apr 2023
An offensive amount of slab arete questing that I was honoured to top rope after Meredith's valiant birthday attempt to kill the old dog Insanely unique and odd climbing with some truly baffling and unlikely sequences Would I do it again? Idk, maybe after I repress this first ride Aided one move on pitch one and freed the rest
	23	★★★ The Master's Eggs P1 - with Louis 1 Sport	Sport 73m	★★★ Classic	Jamie Spencer	Mon 5th Jun 2023
Beautiful rock and unique rounded arete action. It felt pretty hard at 23 for me. I also took a pretty heinous fall above the first bolt on the second pitch. It was a bit of a game ender which unfortunately meant we had to bail. I am thinking that a semi-hanging belay at the base of the slab of the second pitch would be nice. It could reduce the amount of rope out for the leader on the first 5 or so meters, and also save the belayer from a shit sidewards pull off the existing belay ledge. Not sure if that makes sense. But open to hear what others think when they try it!
	23 Hard	★★★ The Master's Eggs	Sport 73m		Fraser	Sun 11th Jun 2023
Got the first pitch first go. Very fun stuff. Second pitch is weird, the eggs are disintegrating and rattly.I pulled on draws to avoid them otherwise clean.
