Ascents in Giggles Wall

Epic!!! Shame its so short!

Would be scary to lead. Small fiddly gear.

placed like one shit cam? Pretty much a sport route.

Retro logging an old ascent. Lovely arcing crack.

Retro logging an old ascent. I like this route. The grading is a little old-school but the holds are all there.

Nice jams and stemming

Good variant finish. Fun juggy exposure

Great corner crack and nice warmup. Jump on if you down this way.

A tad heady on P2 but nice climbing and enough good gear. P3 variant was great exposure on jugs...definitely worth it!

Wow i wish it kept on going, bomber jams and a fun traverse

Next time!

Warmup turned mini epic with the wrong gear. A #1 or #2 is essential for the otherwise very runout sandbag crux (don’t bother with wires!)… good reminder about the ways of old school blueys questing

First lead on trad. Shit scared. clipped the fixed hanger.

Great fun, second go with Clancy's beta.

A fun technical sequence at the top. Worth doing.

Awesome and exciting. Lead p2. Good way to get back into it. Kept it together and kept moving up to send.

Seconded P2 of taipan. Rested to hammer out a nut. Face climbing with strenuous gear placing positions

You might have a better time stapling your hands to your butt.

Look at that, a route with no high right feet! Means that I can still climb something!

Avoided the ferns and just used the hand crack in the middle of small face (probably a bit harder than 12 just in the crack?). Climbed to first ledge (approx 1/2way) to practice trad anchors. Rest of climb done by Mike to set up rappel @ top anchor. Keen to lead on gear next time.

Recovering from a cold, so went partnerless today and played around with lead solo systems.

Bit contrived. 3 hard thin moves to very nice climbing all the way to the chains.

Lovely corner crack with good rests to place gear. Traverse felt a little spicy. I don’t think Shaun appreciated my novelty tricam placement

What a climb!! Couldnt believe the movement up top that the description says is 'unpleasant'. Insane position. Will yim and i had rolled up to a sunny zig zag after overshooting the walk in and almost ending up in lithgow. Jumped on black bart and shakes and flakes. SF was fantastic through the middle section after which it is named but yim and i wasted no time aiding the diabolocal move at 7m. We are still nonethewiser as to how that gets done. Relatively happy with our little sport foray, johnny came and scooped will up for his first gear lead, leaving yim and i to multi it up! Despite the arvo sun gleaming on the orange face, Taipan had a certain allure, especially the top. I trucked up the chimney and brought yim up. He took little convincing to jump on his 1st gear 19 up the daunting p2 face climb. After some careful gear substitution, he pounced through the crimps and up to the ledge, an impressive onsight with gear safe as houses. I snapped a photo of him midcrux with my hand never leaving the rope, using the forehead phone stabilisation technique. Im not sure how impressed he was. Thankfully i didnt need to work too hard with the nut tool getting the wires out and got to enjoy what was a delightful pitch! I got to lead the romp through the roof. The secret hand jam above the boulder then cringe out left is mindblowing. Chimneyd the final move out just as the sun dipped below the hills. Will and johnny came past at the perfect time to grab our shoes so we bashed out the top. Steves leftover barra was cooked for dinner! Boys on tour day 1 ended up pretty good.

Surprisingly good (and maybe slightly hard for 16). Cool rock and nice mix of cams and bolts.
