Routes in The Pit

Steep classic line. Short bouldery section leads to break, then up through the steep via a powerful sequence to gain big holds, then long moves to the chains.

Trad as per FDB DS to roof to gain line of left trending RBs above roof. Watch for rope wear on lip when lowering.

Climbed the right most flake to the first break at 7 meters. Plug some cams and enter the pumpy crux and traverse left past Love Muscle and Crankshaft into feral dog boy. Be sure to extend gear whilst keeping your seconder in mind.

Long reaches between huge holds, beat the pump to the rest at break. Continue over break to anchor chains.

Start can 'sort-off' be protected with a #2 BD Camelot. Gain break and climb hanging arête to a delicate finish. Anchor is a single bolt. Can rap-off anchors for Crankshaft as a safer alternative.

Rob Wall put this route up. It was named after the climbing wall he owned on the outside wall of Perry Lakes Stadium. 3837730 was the phone number of Escalade, back in the days before Perth adopted 8 digit phone numbers.

There is a small thread before first bolt. Then follow reachy moves to ledge, step left and climb to anchors.

Interesting climb veering to R near top.

A good mixed line at right end of the pit. Good trad climbing up right trending flake to right end of roof. 3 bolts lead back left above roof to DB anchor. No doubt some will step out right to ledge (top of LH end Bison wall).

Original description by Remi (https://www.climberswa.asn.au/topic/kalbarri-the-bison-wall-dont-go-splat-20m-20/):

Start at ground level about 10m right of route #43 [Project right of Love Muscle) and 20m left of Thruch’n The Bison. Follow a series of vertical cracks between ledges. Scramble up the 1m vertical crack, then diagonally right on jugs to a vague crack leading to a large stepped platform. Continue up the wider crack, placing some gear high in it before committing any further (crux). One or two small finger size SLCDs (i.e: BD Camalot C3#0 and C4#0.3) will come handy to protect the top out. Rope drag is manageable. Fragile rock around the top anchor. Might be done in 2 pitches to benefit from a spotter/belayer. Without protection high in the final crack, grade: 20X.

Based on this I'm not sure the topo line is right or that "Don't go Splat 2" is a retro bolt of this.

Sit start low with undercling and low edge. Big move to gain the obvious sloper then finish trending leftish to topout. @7mins https://youtu.be/pwTpGTJuq2w

Sit start and up with good holds under the roof. Located on the back side of the 'Shit Cunt' Boulder.
