Ascents in Stateline Gully as Onsight

Dirty and no pro

Depressingly Bluies: Easy once you abandon the pure crack ascent

Could only see 2 cam, 1 sling and 2 poor bush runners before the somewhat desperate 15?.headwall topout 3m above a ledge. Toprope if you must!

Great little trad corner with clean dry crack and good ledges and edges. Even a hard move down low!

The crux was building a top anchor that wasn't terrible

Quite run out on quality rock with good holds. Don't exit down Stateline Gully as the ground and rocks are exceptionally unstable after the rain. Exit between Camerons Crest and Memory Lane.

This was a very exciting route with spicy moves straight off the ground. I worked very hard for the onsight. I found the crux dyno to the sloping scree ledge very difficult especially with the 60L pack. By this stage I was cooked so decided to setup my portaledge from a branch about 5cm in diameter, charred and poorly wedged amongst a myriad of loose scree in order to replenish my seriously depleted energy levels.

I have to admit that setting up my Whisperlite on the portaledge is not without controversy especially when my hair caught fire and I had to use the last of my water to extinguish myself. Replenishing my energy levels was now challenging but I managed to extract some sustenance by licking some honey out of a native bee hive on the ledge.

I hadn't managed to replenish my energy to an optimum level and so I had now developed a slight wobble in my left leg and a twitch in my right eye. By now I had no choice but to abandon the portaledge and climb the unprotected slab. Luckily I had some blobbies and bashies and so I was able to aid up the last few metres.

This was one tough customer of a climb and despite the loss of my portaledge I really loved the route nonetheless.

This was awesome! Liked it a lot. My hardest trad onsight to date. Ringlocks were quite bomber! Used many a green cam (in the realm of 4) could almost be climbed without any other colour.

Great! Highly recommended.

Good moderate trad climbing for the Blue mountains. Too bad it's so short.

Really fun steep moves out of the roof, but sparse gear and crap rock all the way up

interesting climbing on good gear.

some tough moves down low followed by much easier climbing up high that gets a bit run out on carrots.

Very good trad route!

Quite fun, especially if you only use the tree for one low move

Reasonably straightforward narrow hands with feet everywhere

stiffest 15 I'd done for awhile. Chossy, vegetated and mud and sand for half the climb. A great welcome back to climbing!

Great climb and well worth the walk.

The crux feels harder than 20. No decent gear until the first bolt. The top has an overabundance of bolts, but they are not very well placed! Carabineers are loaded on their edges. Anchor is a tree that is awkward to reach.

Nice mixed route with a variety of gear and some vintage carrots. Thought provoking crux is gear protected. Guidebook description for how to get off wasn't immediately obvious/the tree I think it was referring to is set back from the edge and would make pulling ropes difficult. We walked back towards IS31 and down the wide gully in between there and Cosmed area.

Certainly one of the best routes in the Stateline area

Looks boring, but climbs really nice the whole way

Short but nice. Can't say I liked the bolts too much.

No gear: optimistically slung a bunch of dinnerplaty things and didn't trust any of them.

I wouldnt have thought a short climb of this grade could get stars, but it was actually very nice. Good location, and much more solid rock than you would expect. Not quite as nice as the one to its right, but why not climb both? Bring some long cord to make a top anchor and bring a newbie.

Definitely good, but hardly "one of the best 19's at cosmic" (as per the new guide). Climbs like a shorter, substantially less sustained Baird's Effort, with a 2-move sequence to the grade, and everything else considerably easier. Eats wires. Lots of wires.

A quick little send with Paul's shoes. A couple of thumb locks and crimps and it's over. It's not 20 if you face climb the sh*t out of it.

The last route of the day- the rock finally warmed up. Mostly wire protection

about E11 up to the cave....especially with my gear!!

just like that gal you met at the pub, late on friday night at the hotdog stand...exceptionaly wide!

steep and strenuous

feisty little crack corner
