Nice looking line and climbing marred by some average rock quality in the top third and a horrendous topout/bushbash anchor scenario.

As with the 16 next to it. Nice climbing and marginally better rock but same story with rock quality and poor topout.

Despite the slightly chossy rock in spots I thought this climb packed a good punch for the length and grade.
Haven’t tried a 17-18 here yet. Though I think, compared to Salt Flakes, this is a tad more challenging. Classic trad bumbling |

A few cruxes between stances in a great position make this a really good climb. Some of the rock is still a little friable in one part which makes it hard to give classic status too, but it's well up there.

An unforgettable sequence of puzzling moves that come in waves. Committing moves above gear to a rest with key holds that come exactly when you want them too. Finishing in a fantastic piece of slab with a killer move that tops out with ocean views. Will be interesting to see how the route changes with more traffic.

14 | ★ Bridge Over Troubled Water - with Chris Speer | 22m | Fortescue Bay | ★ Good | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | ||||
A large corner-crack with a multitude of options and good protection. I need to repeat as I was very in my head at the start of the climb, coming to half way up.
|
|||||||||
20 | ★★ Zodiac - with Chris Speer | 22m | Fortescue Bay | ★★★ Classic | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | ||||
When you don't have to place gear this is such a killer line that you will have an absolute blast on. Placing gear can leave you in some pumpy positions as you stitch it up. Lots of protection options for small pieces of gear.
|
|||||||||
17 | ★★ Salt Flakes (left exit) - with Chris Speer | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ★★★ Classic | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | ||||
This route hit the spot for me. Fantastic finger lock holds down low that feel too good to be true when you get them. The traverse is easily protected with thoughtful foot sequences and a great left hand jam that together lead to such a good time.
|
|||||||||
16 | ★★ Salt Flakes - with Chris Speer | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ★★ Very Good | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | ||||
The top out for this draws you into the right corner but really fun moves can be found by tackling the roof and headwall above the lower line.

17 | ★★ Rinse, Repeat - with Chris Speer | 18m | Fortescue Bay | Wed 4th Jan 2023 | |||||
Great hand crack that really tested my meaner jamming abilities. Got caught at the crux, knew the move but thought I should protect it more which led to me putting in two terrible pieces for reassurance more than protection. Very happy to not be pushing my trad grades too fast and focusing on getting the basics right.

Pretty fun with some interesting options for protection. Simple line to follow but interesting rock thats worth a peek at. Learnt a lot doing the climb. Again minus points to be for badly placed blue stopper at top. Also tried a redirected rope belay for first time which was amazing.

17 | ★★ Rinse, Repeat - with Amanda Chan | 18m | Fortescue Bay | ★★★ Classic | Thu 19th Jan 2023 | ||||
A crack! So focused on the crack I missed the obvious sidepull at the crux, but was vindicated by Amanda also missing it on second. Would've gone with another attempt, but we made a sensible call to head back to camp in the light.
