Fantastic entry level adventure trad.

First pitch lead by Pat then the rest by me. First time using double ropes for two seconders.

Gear isn't as bad as reputed, there are some relatively large runouts but only on grade ~4ish terrain.

Crux move is on pitch 2 but is unexposed and short. Chimney pitch has easier technical climbing (Grade 6-9 moves) but fairly sustained and exposed.

Left the chimney too early and got run out & off-route on absolute garbage rock and then went back in the chimney and stayed there too long and topped out the pitch on the right.

I brought a 4 & a 5 and placed both but could probably do without. 3 60cm slings is not enough to stop heinous rope drag if you sew things up.

Scariest part of the day was when someone seconding pitch one of zeitgeist found a microwave sized block to yank off

We definitely ended up at the wrong second belay and made it much harder for ourselves. Ended up getting a very old black country fried stuck in the crack of that wrong second belay but overall very very good climbing.

Once purple nut placement over the 40m, two FH’s weren’t necessary as placements were scarce but available.

Linked pitch 3&4 as I had to make it back to an important lunch haha

4 12 10 Trad lead by Dave Westby

Super fast rappelling, interesting being short on every rappel as we didn’t bother about equal rope on each end for a simul rap. Managed to figure it out nevertheless, made for good training if we were actually short on rope!

Epic lightning fast adventure on Tibro! Definitely delivered with snakes, bats & an abundance of loose blocks/rocks. The more traffic the route has the quality will improve, and therefore possibly increase the grade...

Climb 13 of 50. Reminds me of the type of climbing I was doing 25 years ago. Glad I got to do it finally. We climbed it in 3 pitches, so not actually sure where one pitch ended and another began, so a bit tricky to log all the pitches correctly. Not terribly important though. Fun times!

A Great afternoon adventure!! so stoked to finally climb this line. The top of P3 needs work again, it might be time to think about adding a bolted anchor to save what is left of the tree. The lined tree is unsafe (plus has rusted out 4-6mm bolts there anyway, which are now attached to nothing) and I think we should do our best as a community to protect the beautiful flora on this historic climb. Thoughts here????

With Kuva and Jason - spent the good part of Sunday hanging around on this lovely line. Tricky for a 16 though - I'd say closer to 17/18 for reading the line. Our beginner had a tough time but also had plenty of stoke in the tank to get him up! HAHA. It was excellent. Thanks to Adam Kerz for being our default walk in and crag guide. And welldone to Bao Duong - lucky you guys went before us! I seconded the first pitch and kept climbing through.

Not going to lie, wasn't a massive fan of the first pitch. Glad Bruce took the lead on it. Thoroughly enjoyed the second pitch, especially the traverse bit as you hit the prow. I feel like a hold has broken in there somewhere though.
