Ascents in Yulludunida having Beta

Gorgeous views with a mostly chill route, until a couple of metres in the final third. Awesome to be able to see the mountains from such a unique perspective and climb the dinosaur. Completed this unroped as a solo party as Mum wasn’t too keen on it. About 4hrs car to car with an already sore leg. So happy to say that I’ve completed this route.

First trad and first multipitch all in one. Very easy and very enjoyable.

Nice climbing. Rock quality was a bit suspect in places but plenty of sufficient pro if you search for it.

Great adventure! Truly like climbing along a stegosaurus’ spine!! Exciting position, mostly straight forward scrambling with a few thought-provoking sections. The best climbing is in the second half of the full traverse - it is worth going along the whole length. There is some exposure but we felt comfortable throughout unroped and in approach shoes.

Half of the traverse, including an ascent of the SW corner (16?) to retrieve a stuck rap rope.

This is a three star climb for sure, especially P1. Flowy and exposed. Loved it.

Did essentially this.

Fun!

Three starred mega classic scrambling, incredible location, stunning vistas, some exciting moves at the grade with some high winds thrown in- sooooo gooood!

Sick scramble getting chased from the rain and high winds, met some goats on the bush bash back, some scary sections but happy to have mountain guide Yim showing the way

Great climb/traverse, but don't underestimate the exposure (I might have...).

5.5hrs with a party member that didn't have much experience. Nothing too serious until rodeo rock, the last 1/3 could feel pretty full on at times. I'd definitely recommend a rope for protecting less confident party members.

This route came highly recommended to me by Phil Box as being one of the best day hikes he'd ever done, and it did not disappoint! All three stars are very well deserved.

We were a group of five, and took as many hours car to car at a leisurely pace. Four hours return is a good estimate if you don't plan to pause long for breaks or pitch out the exposed section as we did.

I'd recommend continuing toward the ridge in the direction you breech the tree line, rather than turning right. The scrambling is very straightforward and not grade 5-6 as the description suggests, in my opinion.

There are only four down climbs of note, none are difficult and I wouldn't suggest they need any tatt.

We chose to carry a rope, but only pulled it out to protect the traverse around Rodeo Rock. It was just as well we did, as one of our members blew a seemingly bomber hold and would surely have hit the deck without it. Do you need a rope? Probably not. The moves aren't at all difficult, but the exposure won't forgive a slip.

Epic day out, the pictures don't do it justice, the stegosaurus back description is extremely accurate for the middle section. The rock is incredibly formed and has perfect jugs absolutely everywhere you need them, none of the up/downclimbing is at all difficult due to this, although it is very exposed.

The last third of the traverse is absolutely awesome with some sick bouldery sections on amazing jugs. At one point we reached a boulder that Greg straddled to get over while Jack traversed over while Jack awkwardly squeezed under. I opted for the straddling beta as it looked too fun, even more fun was Greg and Jack panicking and yelling that the boulder was moving a lot, which I assumed was them taking the piss until they said it a couple more times that I probably had a pretty priceless expression as I carefully got off what I now know from old logs as the *rodeo boulder" apt name. Bush bash to the car.

We climbed this originally because greg wanted to up his km count on his crag profile. The benefit in the end was that everyone was stoked to bumo their km account on thecrag. Turns out we are a bunch of social media whores. After being inspired by darrens campfire stories at balor, greg yim and i bivvied in the campsite at kaputar. Despite a no falls trip in the bungles, will tripped and got himself a couple flappers, i fell over while walking and greg almost capsized a huge floating boulder. Despite these 'ground falls', were calling it sends all round. Beauty views, horrifying winds and some decent exposure paired with some juggy scrambling reminiscent of araps. The guide said this was like climbing a stegosaurus' back. Yim: 'yeah! The boys climbed steak sauce'. Stop making us all hungry mate.

No tatt/slings in sight on this day, as always bring your own if dragging a rope. Four small downclimbs and one nervous climb underneath and around some precariously stacked blocks above a nasty fall. No ropes required but beware the moss and lichen on the southern aspects after rain as it gets slippy! Approach shoes should be all that's needed, 6.5km loop car park to car park, return in 3 hours though that was solo and moving fast.

Amazing! Such a beautiful climb along the spine of the stegasaurus. A couple of interesting moves. We opted to not ride the rodeo boulder but to climb below and traverse with much exposure! We didn’t take rope but climbing shoes were very handy.

Great day out! If you're taking someone new to scrambling and exposure expect to take longer than 3 - 4 hours. We took 6hrs car to car. Used the rope twice, once at the down climb where the sling is (obvious block seemed a bit loose so used something a bit further back). Lowered partner and then down climbed myself. Second time was over the oft mentioned block. Easy moves, but lots of exposure. Scramble definitely gets more exciting towards the back end. We descended the obvious gully near the end. Continued straight on, skirting/scrambling over the rocks on our right into a clear patch. This was the heaviest scrub, then linked up open sections back to the start. Always stay high if in doubt to avoid the thick scrub.

Took a beginner up here without ropes, leaving a bit late in the day due to the fact it had been raining and we only had this particular opportunity to climb it before leaving.

We took headtorches with the plan that, surely at grade 3 we'll be able to continue in the dark if we are too slow. However it turned out to be a bit slippery from the rain and quite difficult and risky for a complete novice, resulting in us moving very slowly and getting stuck up the top in the dark.

We used a space blanket and sheltered behind a rock to avoid some of the wind, and waited out the night.

The next day, we were able to slowly make our way through to the end, with parts near the end feeling more exposed and technically challenging than the earlier stages of the climb, with parts feeling around grade 6 to me, which were a serious undertaking for my partner.

Overall it was an excellent route, but next time I will definitely be more prepared, and give more respect to each route, even when it has such an easy grade.

Great fun with amazing views, last 3/4 is when the fun starts,

Great scenery good scrambling

First multipitch climb. A great adventure.

A good day out, we scrambled straight up to the ridge from the fence line to the right of the clearing. Then followed the ridge past a goat and the infamous block, then scrambled down the fern gully before what appeared to be the last hump of the ridge.

Reversed the middle third from the top of Bojangles toward North Peak- utterly unique! Must return for the full traverse!

Clear sky, massive views, good moves and great pro marred only slighty by a few loose bits and lichen - what a cracking tradventure!

Did middle third from the top of Bojangles toward North Peak- utterly superlative!

Nice and easy cruise climb from bottom to top with lovely view on top. I did only as 2 pitches

Second time on this lovely ramble. Great to see the gravity-defying rodeo block is still there! Mantling that boulder was still as nerve-wracking and hilarious as last time.

super fun day of scrambling with some stunning views and a goat

In reverse seem more logical CAUTION: the crux balanced boulder you have to cross has a little wobble in it, thought it was in my mind so pushed my body weight forward and it’s for sure is moving Wouldn’t want anyone to go down with it

A fantastic adventure with the boy. I highly recommend to others. Get a sense of our trip at https://youtu.be/nx0ARauVKJc

One of coolest thing I’ve done so far and my first alpine style route. The climbing sections are of course easy but classic with some great exposure at times and the scrambling and hiking is great fun too. ~30mins to reach the tree line at a moderate pace and 4-5 hours to complete the route (one party member felt a bit unsteady over the rougher sections so we took our time). Could be done faster.

We roped up for the sketchy down climb mentioned in the description but also for another section late in the route which involved a very exposed although short section around a precarious boulder. I went over the boulder but it wobbled badly so the rest of the party took the more exposed route down around left of it. I would strongly recommend the left route and consider roping up.

Alt with Dave and Mel in 2 pitches. Lovely position and bonus walk off skyline traverse.

Awesome climb, easier than 12. Pretty much jugs. Lots of bollards to sling. Done in 2 pitches with 60m ropes. Best easy multi in Kaputar I reckon.

Fun hike. Amazing potential for sport climbing away from established trad routes. If only it was closer to Sydney!

A lovely jaunt well worth a sneaky day trip

Excellent climb with plenty of good pro and mega jugs. The first pitch is the money, but the whole thing is fantastic. Careful of rope drag on the first pitch, take plenty of long extenders.

Fantastic adventure on an amazing ridge line! Definitely take a short rope to protect at least one of the high consequence moves.

very cool, nice rocks, pretty views, a spicy ending. i definitely had exposure fatigue at the end. really awesome, i haven't done anything like this before. took us 5+ hours, including lunch and a healthy amount of faff

Fun early morning hike. Bit of bush bashing to get back.

Nice to revisit this classic route on a day that wasn’t blowing snow horizontally. If you are feeling underwhelmed, the second half of the route has more climbing sections and good exposure, and is probably more grade 5ish.

Great rock, nice exposure, plenty of pro.
