Absolute bullshit I have to log this as a hangdog. Was above the 4th draw and managed to rip off a bucket jug sending me sideways. Belayer is ok, hold wasn’t crucial, climb still goes. Apart from this, no takes or whips.
That in mind, the climb is still an awesome adventure. About half a dozen mantles, some spicy exposure on the arete, and an abundance of jugs (-1 jug from today) |

20 | ★★ Corrosion Castle - with DenisW | 35m, 15 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
29 degrees at 8am... a perfect day to chase some Hawkesbury sendage. Cleaned this one up from a previous trip.
May need to let this one dry for a few days after the amount of sweat I dripped on all the holds. Done in two pitches. The first is merely an access pitch and is fairly low quality. The second pitch is the money. Cruxy start with a fairly heady move off the first bolt. It eases to a glorious jug haul from there with just enough sand present to have you questioning the permanence of the holds. Sit down rests everywhere. One of the better sport routes at Jolls IMO. |
|||||||
20 Hard | ★★ Woodface - with DenisW | 40m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Our very very sweaty climb out.
Pitch 1 The first pitch is a rather botanical excursion with some bold moves on dirt coated holds. An exciting pitch indeed. Nonetheless a fun old school route with 2 distinct cruxes. I think strictly I did Woodface Direct however I also did the second pitch so logging here. Slabby and technical. Pitch 2 A wholly different beast. Found this to be quite hard for the grade despite its shortness. The holds are all there but there certainly isn't any spare ones. Tree belay at the top. |

19 | ★ Honey Im Late - with Nat | 40m | ★ Good | ||||
For some reason I was expecting an easy first pitch then a harder second pitch, but it's the other way around for this version. The bit shared with VD totally threw me (something something chalk, spooge, loose shoes, surprise sport climbing).
|

19 | ★★ Bad Luck Silverback — 2 attempts - with Nat | 12m, 1 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
low key groundfall from slipping just before reaching the carrot, on wet feet and soapy hands. got back on but had to aid past the carrot eventually, lowered off the next break for rope gun Nat to take over.
Will definitely come back under better conditions. The lesson of the day was that I really really need to refill my chalk bag. |
