20 | ★★ Action Pact - with James | 25m, 2 | |||||
Not sure how to mark this one.
I got to the top, but definitely went too far to the left onto the easier ground. Doing this probably felt grade 17 (purely due to the boulder start).
Had a foot hold snap off and felt like pro was a bit dodgy, but was likely because I went too far left. Had a bit of an epic coming down as we couldn't see the 'rap tree' so we went out over the back, then down to the rap anchors of Sanitize Review Pitch 1. Beta for rap: It turns out you finish this climb at the first big ledge. From there you walk to the left and around maybe 30m to where a nice looking alive tree is. If you climb all the way to the top you may be better off getting to the rap anchors of Sanitize Reivew P1. |

Fantastic. Led all the pitches. Belay spots were a highlight (especially the saddle belay after pitch four), and climbing on the second and fourth pitches the best. Third pitch goes up from the near the rock pillar and traverses left from a very small ledge and overhang, same height as the next belay. You're aiming for a huge corner with a dirt belay pad and a couple of trees.

Insane. The crux near the rusty bolt can be protected with some small wires. Massive sling before roof useful. Seems like the bottomless chimney traverse can be climbed a few ways. I opted for the crawl and drop down/ around version with a cut loose for style. Also managed a no hands no feet rest midway, looking down at my partner below. Rope drag was minimal in one pitch. What a route.

In relatively good condition considering it probably hasn’t been climbed in years. A spooky lead with fat runouts. Exciting!

Oops slipped off near the bottom, trying too hard. Rest was fine - felt oddly familiar.

Fun! Ran out the start and couldn't find the rap tree at the top so climbed out though the tunnel of cross and walked over to the rap rings above Sanitize Review.

There’s a reason not to climb at Rosea in winter...I don’t know why we looked up at the seeping pitches above us and decided to climb it. I’m sure it’s stunning when dry though.

Went back to get this one after being rained off it last time. Gear is good but I placed some shockers. Feels pretty chill for the grade.

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

Must come back to do the direct. Traverse would be interesting if you were shorter - both to reach across and up.

Unreal climbing at the grade, pitch 4 was particularly serious.. wondering if we did the direct finish by mistake.

Sustained and amazing. Somehow we did it in 3 pitches. My first proper roped climbing in over a year, so it was pretty intense, but it went.

Words cannot describe. I have never screamed so much on a route. I absolutely was not expecting the epic that this climb was. Being proper stuck in a ceiling while staring 40 metres down into nothing but air is a feeling I don’t know if I’ll ever get again in my climbing career haha. Feeling totally helpless midway through the roof I put myself into a bomber chicken wing position, my hips came loose and my body dropped almost causing my shoulder to dislocate. I heard sounds you never want to hear from a shoulder haha. So much pain but there is literally no option then to keep squeezing. Got through the roof but took out of fear my shoulder was about to explode haha. Rested and did the rest. Felt more difficult than Kachoong so the grade makes no sense to me lol. Almost feels ungradeable? . I’m definitely going to give it some time but I’m coming back for you basalisk! Deserves every single one of those stars.
