Ascents in Grampians

Great route!

Absolutely unreal. The third pitch is the real winner, covering some amazing terrain.

Pitch 2 is great fun.

Amazing day out. 2+3 were a good mental test, sparse gear but actually not too bad. 4 was sublime climbing.

A full Mountain experience. Some thin climbing/gear

So interesting the whole way.. lying on slabs, pulling around roof, exposed corners, hanging belays and beautiful views. Pitch 4 was money! Got stitched up a couple of times removing gear haha

Got a bit confused by the painted D a climbed the first pitch it thinking it was Debutante and got lost traversing to the big corner... had to downclimb and walk to the proper start

Great climb. James led the first three, I led the last one for my highest trad grade thus far.

Amazing,' Some choss but... a great day

Really fun sustained route, rock quality wasn't ideal but much better than Debutante. P3 had hard moves with ledge falls for the leader, big hex or two might help. Otherwise very well protected, double small totems really soothed the nerves. Micro nuts handy for anchors

I don't claim to understand the Ewbanks grading system, but pitch 1 seems difficult for the grade. Albeit a really fun move between the crack systems. Pitch 2 of this climb is super exposed! Pitch 3 climbing past the Scarab horns was great!

So much fun!!

Epic day out, every pitch has something interesting. Extra spicy when its raining!

Don't know if I'd use the word pleasant. Very adventurous climb, also very serious and would add an R rating. Make sure you're very comfortable at the grade. Potential for very big swings between solid pieces of pro and you're often on sandy fragile rock that readily crumbles under hand and foot. The belays that rely on cams are just barely enough to keep you sane. All that being said, you get some great positions and the bolting seems solid enough. We bailed out after just before the 7th pitch by following up some FHs, pitty because the next few pitches had DBBs.

3rd pitch is a Mega classic for sure. Definitely bail at the bolts after that. Went all the way and it’s not a fun time at all really.

Really awesome! Got slightly lost on pitch 2 going for the super thin sickle crack instead of staying right which made things interesting and harder then it probably needed to be. Thought I was lost but got right back on track. Pitch 3 crux was just AWESOME and pitch 4 seemed pretty intense for a 17!

First and second pitches are easily linked.

Rock is much nicer than advertised! Climbing is pretty straightforward and basic. Nothing too crazy. Fun!

my first grade 30 clip!,

chicks are soooo going to dig me!

Must suit my style perfectly, loved that move to the top. piece of cake, first try

Super nice route.vert technical and all lot body weight shifting.more like 28??

Sweltering heat. Felt like having a yak at the top. Insane quality routes here. Very psyched to have finally done some rope climbing in the gramps!!

and the blood did pour. psyched. not a bad little bit of climbing
