Ascents in Black Stump Buttresses as Pink point

A few spread out attempts over the years. It’s certainly tricky, but a lot more manageable with knee pads and rehearsed beta.

I think 26 feels about right. Might be harder if you decide to try and avoid any of the knee bars/scums.

All I can say is, there is more than a grade difference between this climb and Little Wednesday (25).

First and at the grade! so happy i got it.

Brutal on my small arms, 4th shot

Big, big moves, really fun.

Completely changed my sequence during the send. Hard when there are only 3 moves from the ground to the anchors. 3rd shot.

love this route, so glad to put it to rest

Repeat. First shot.

Yew, gotcha!

Very cool to come back and do this route after a year and a bit, really fun.

Awesome moves good value for a short climb 6/7th shot w/Umberto

Finally ticked this one! Been a year since I last got on it. Always got shut down on the second crux. After lots of practice doing big dyno's on the 45 at urbs; I finally got it! Pretty much came up to Brooyar for the Easter weekend just so that I could finally tick this one! Probably time for bigger things now!

So nice climbed twice

Was set up once more on the way out

Got on this 2 years ago... Smashed it out of the water first go

Cleaning

so much fun!! powerful dynamic moves. a must do!!

pretty much a flash, but deep inside i remember that time when i just started climbing and flailed on the first bolt.

Cleaning draws after Tony's attempt. Happy to get through this pretty "easily". Still a tough move that's very bicep-y for me, but it's really fun.

Up and back-jump to clean after Tony's successful tick (his 4th shot no less!!!). I'm now very curious about this and Pipeline—I felt like I was having to pull much harder past Pipeline's second bolt than the main crux move of this. Undoubtedly I need to do more routes at both grades to really know [EDIT: and get on Pipeline again]...

Cleaning.

Finally Sent this thing! Most shots on any climb for me.

First shot of this trip, under head torch, little difficult to see over the lip to the anchors

Repeated under daylight, much more enjoyable

Big Friday was a waterfall, so got on this instead. Up and back down to first bolt—soooo close to getting the clean downclimb Pumped out trying to get feet back on ground.

Up and back jump to clean.

Always enjoy a burn on this. Up to anchor and back down cleaning gear. Clean to the crux but didn't quite reverse it this time.

2nd go. Great short route with 1-2 hard moves in the steep overhang

Awesome

Sent on second attempt.
