Got this first go today (led it, sports). VERY nice in the middle section. Clearly the grade of 23 is for trad. I'd say 21 for sports, maybe 22. Beware the loose block, although it doesn't seem to be coming out in a hurry one never knows...

This is an excellent and technical climb. However I think that the guide info here is incorrect - there are 7 bolts in total, plus two rap chains at the top. Take 9 draws! The final crux is made harder by the ominously cracked undercling boulder that seems like it is just about to fall. I went out left to the arete to avoid this. Totally stoked to have made it up this in one go!

Gave this another whirl. Had a few sits. Then tried again on TR and did it WORSE. Did work out some nice beta with Aga though. The actual moves don't feel too hard for me...
I think I'm my previously ticked attempt I may have escaped the route by going too far left.

Relearning the beta to get clean soon. The step up into the undercling block would be such a nice move if the block wasn’t so keen to visit the creek in the valley below. Individual moves aren’t bad, keen for another sesh soon. With or without blocky boi.

Really enjoyed this. Maybe this style really suits me, but it did feel a bit easy. The lose block at the top is super dangerous, I'll put a flag up here. Would be pretty important for someone who knows what they are doing to remove it. I didn't want to do it as I've never removed something that big from a climb and didn't want to do something stupid! DO NOT touch that block (chalk crosses all over it) — even if it misses your belayer (who would not survive being hit by that) it might still cut the rope. Disaster written all over it.

not too bad, one of the blocks at the start looked a little suspect so we slung the belayer to the tree but had no issues. A good little warmup. 5/11/2016.
Been waiting for this to appear here as i wasn't sure if Bill had climbed it before Nick and I had a go! we climbed with him the weekend before and he said it had been bolted but not climbed (Assuming i have the correct route!?) |
