Ascents in Glasshouse Mountains

Fun route It’s abit of a 1 move wonder Messed up the roof crux and went for a sloper out to the right Next to go for the layback in the v crack to the flat jug

Had a great time today. Lead the shorter pitches and seconded the longer pitches, which suited my style. Had to rest in the top section of pitch three; the backpack made the overhangs super pumpy. Very happy with the onsight of the final pitch. Walked in with Wen and Marty, and met them again at Halfway House, them having topped out Troposphere only moments after us finishing Aphelion. Absolute perfection. 👌

After doing troposphere a few times, we wanted a bit more of a challenge. This lived up to the hype! Easy adventuring first pitch, great bouldery 2nd pitch. Long and pumpy 3rd pitch but with great rest spots then another bouldery 4th pitch with some awkward mantles. So good!

Felt good through the easy stuff, next two pitches do able but definitely not onsightable for me.

Fully sick

Accidentally linked P2 with the start of Remains of the Day. Whoops! I started up P3 and after having to fight through the crux it became apparent that this was either the worst sandbag ever or we were off route. I lowered down a bit to review the terrain and eventually another party, who leapfrogged us on ROTD, called out that we should be 15m to the left. I was worried about time (and partly couldn't be arsed climbing the 21 again to clean the route), so we pulled the rope from the highest quickdraw and rapped back to the top of P1, ROTD.

There were some really cool moves up through steep rock and two shallow chimney features. Would be keen to come back and climb this whole route properly.

Enjoyable route! The first pitch seemed pretty stiff at the grade, but could be lack of fitness or shaking off the cobwebs. Pumped out and got the sequence wrong at the crux on the third pitch, one rest saw me pull through the moves. I didn't encounter and loose rock, I'll be back to send.

First 4 pitches to approach overexposed

Tried to climb Banished, couldn't find it - ended up on this guy instead. The third pitch it worth the price of admission.

Did First pitch then linked in to Remains of the Day.

Fun day out! Great lead in the 21 by Daniel, and the 19 has some spicy moved off the belay.

Did pitch one as a standard sport route.

Fun day out with jard. Cooked by the sun. Rapped off the third pitch.

Great climbing all the way to top! Pitches very sustained on generally good rock

Nice route, pitch 3 has quite interesting moves. We wanted to do the 17 variant of p4 on the right hand side but must have gone for the wrong anchor after the roof on p3. From the anchor we were on, the bolts on the 17 were waaay far to the right and below us, so we decided to do the 24 left hand variant instead. The hard reachy 24-move is beyond my skills so had to pull on a draw to get to the jug. When rapping off from Airtime, it's a good idea to saddlebag the ropes.

Cool route, interesting climbing. Had heaps of fun on this adventure. Be careful of loose blocks and chossy ledges. There are a lot of bees on pitch 4 as well. We climbed to the right a bit and up into the bush to avoid them. Also description should say to rap straight down to the left from last anchor. Matt ended up in the obvious ‘vegetated gully’ on the right and had a near death experience with falling boulder 😅

First pitch as a sport route.

Pitch one and two were lots of fun! Cool upper slider-like first pitch with lots of slopers. Straightforward second pitch with some particularly loose feeling death boulders, however third pitch is super chossy, had to carefully make my way through the overhung section to not shower my belayer in choss! Bailed after reaching the fourth pitch. Will definitely come back to finish the final few pitches.
