Ascents in Kangaroo Point as various tick types by Mark Gamble

With OPG. One of the first I ever did. Stuggled at the crux.

with OPG. Still pretty weak and getting past the crux is a challenge.

With OPG. After all the study at TAFE this is a nice distraction.

With OPG, an interesting one for beginners to practice on.

After Grant. Seemed a lot easier than I recall. 2 rests; one at the first crux, one at the 2nd.

With EFC, Geoff belayed or Susy, can't remember, but we all had a go, think Susy got it clean with a bit of beta. But an interesting route to lead, some thoughtful moves here & there.

With EFC, Geoff belayed. It was so good to finally crack this tough one and do it clean.

With EFC. Worked this one and Squawk.

Talk about an off day. With EFC & Geoff belaying.

With OPG. What a struggle. Man this is a hard one.

With EFC. Working these two pretty consistently.

With OPG. Pretty damn tricky to stick that crux hold.

With OPG. Working this end of the cliff.

With EFC. Geoff belayed. A real off day. Couldn't even come close to getting Gobble at the same time.

With OPG. Still working this one. I'll get it yet.

With EGC. Worked this one some more.

With OPG, got it again.

With OPG. Got it clean.

With EFC. Nice one to work with others in the vicinity.

With OPG. Was a bit of a struggle, had to rest several times, but got there in the end.

With OPG. This time a success!

With OPG. Once again, for good measure.

With EFC. Nice to set-up on this easy one.

With OPG. Back after the Christmas break and into the breach again.

With OPG. Good one.

With OPG. Bit of a struggle after being away from the rock after so long.

With OPG. This was one of the first I managed to get to the top on.

With OPG. Struggled my way up it again.

With OPG. Variant finish is interesting.

With OPG. Same story just out the face halfway up, crux is the same.

With OPG. The crux finish on this one had eluded me for ages, when the sequence finally fell together: LH gaston, push up with RH, RF on ledge then big reach.

With OPG. Bit better and cleaner this time.

With EFC. Still couldn't manage that top out with out a struggle.

With OPG. Another struggle to get up it - the crux still eludes me.

With OPG. Couldn't get the top sequence tho. Struggled and fell my way up the bottom sequence.

God, what a struggle! Was totally trashed & the left wrist is f***ed. :-/

Using the microsender. Still a solid work-out.

Using the microsender to work out on this one. Really had to fall my way up it.

With EFC. What a classic this one is. I've never made it clean. That lay away halfway up always defeats me. From there on up, it's a pump fest.

Using the microsender again. Still a couple of moves that elude me.

Andrew belayed patiently while I fell my way up this one.

Self belaying/ascening. I couldn't even come close to getting this one clean. Just getting to the large flake & layaways is a win for me.

Self belay/ascending. Same story: Couldn't even come close to getting this one clean, very tough mid section, layaway from one side to the other.

Got this clean, did a bold pinch grip at the crux.

With OPG. Again one that I had tried many times & finally got there 6mths after starting to climb.

After Lionel

Just got it. About as strong as a stuffed koala minus the stuffing. David (from Spain) belayed & 2nded.

With Dan & Thomas. One fall @ the crux.

After Grant. 2 shots at the crux before I got the sequence right.

With Dan & Thomas. One fall while I figured out the crux.

With OPG. Almost got it clean.

With OPG. Again many rests.

With OPG. Got this one clean finally, now to get the original route.

With OPG. Some interesting moves on this one make it worthwhile.

Got it clean 2nd go up it. Some pride salvaged from the smoldering ruins.....

With OPG. A nice work out and got both routes clean

Barn doored off above the ledge, so I started again and got it. David also did it clean on TR.

Had forgotten some of the moves on this route ~ it's been many years now. Anyway, got it clean in the end. Noice

Better once the moves were dialled in.

My first lead up this route. Quite nice. Terry belayed & 2nded along with Lillian.

With OPG. Some tough moves.
