Ascents in Coogee

Soft sandstone - broke the first foot hold and ripped a wedge of the edge of the crack higher up...

Couldn't get the second clip.. nothing but foot smear. will try again

Let move requires freakish strength and or extremely long arm

Good bolting. Watch out for pot smoking teenagers

Rekt. Made this harder by removing the best hold

We did a few laps in this. I can definitely get stronger when pulling from 3 fingers!

I was able to stick the first move all 3 times I tried today, but need to find a way to standup and recover from the impossible position in a smooth way and not desperate.

Fun!

The start! Ah that start is very hard! Will require some work before it goes. The rest is very pleasant climbing.

Very fun climbing in the backyard of Coogee.

Took a fall in the second lap

The bottom part is not bolted so we traversed after topping out on the climb on the right and started from the ledge. From there it is only a climb of two moves and one bolt plus the anchors but very delicate and precise ones.

There is another bolt lower at the hip level that is not clear to me the utility of it.

Very cool bouldery start. We weren't able to pass the second draw because footholds are non existent. It will require some work.

Recommend start with first quickdraw in for safety.

The rock is sandy and that spices things up. There is an interesting undercling move at the top that will get your breathing speeding.

Crumbly very weak rock

Sandstone with a lot of dust, spiderwebs and ants. It seems the crag hasn't been climbed for a while.

Marcello and I check out this crag. Not the most memorable.

Thin big moves at the start easier climbing to the top. Not sure if it is a 23 - but a lot of fun

If the exposure doesn't get to you, the quality of rock will!!!!

How quickly a solo goes to an o/s. put a cam in coz the rock was a little crumbly, bye bye solo

Very nice, Get rid of a few cobwebs and That will go.

30 mins cleaning this, 2 warm ups and got it 1st go. time for celebrations in the pub for an old dog cleaned!

this is a Sydney sea cliff classic, as in: the bolts a rusted, the sandstone at the top feels like putting your hands in the bottom of a empty weetbix packet and the bottom half is like tunnel ratting through an open sewer in Vietnam during summer. Did I mention that the bolts were rusty?. Choose a hold you like on this climb and take it home with you!. This gets 3 little sandcastle stars from me as it is the Epitome of Sydney Sea cliffs!. I'm still de-mossing my Katana's.

Will see this one again soon, more time in the sun needed
