Ascents in The Lost Walls

Not bad, and solid at the grade.

Initialled

Quite a gutsy solo by David.

Seemed easier, admittedly on toprope.

Reasonable climbing, but care required at this crag.

Ugly

Could be a pumpy lead.

An ugly experience.

Plan B after a grounder off Harvard Professor.

Steep enough but sus rock.

Lead attempt #1 ended in the air holding a piece of rock. Beware.

An exciting experience climbing loose blocks in the rain on the Soloist.

More scary rock.

Took a short fall onto a ledge when a hold broke. Beware.

Good moves through roof

Bit different for Morialta - side pulls, underclings, no crimps.

Strangely pleasurable on brittle jugs. Don't know about leading it, though.

Toprope comment: "Strangely pleasurable on brittle jugs. Don't know about leading it, though."

So-so.

Take the name literally. A scary solo.

Seemed easier, admittedly on toprope.

OK I suppose, but it's all relative at this crag.

Some sharp rock in this area, from memory.

A hidden gem - easily the best route at Morialta that's never climbed. Would be a solid lead at the grade.

Poor rock, sus pro.

So-so.

About third shot. "Still shedding holds", as they say.

Exciting around the wobbly block.

For the grade move left of roof is interesting

Anyone clarify this is a bolted 17?

I love Trad

Hard for the grade

Started slightly right of clean streak

Loose rock at top

Awkward Be prepared to hang around search out pro

Pockets and pinches

Should improve when all the "x" blocks pull off.

9 bolts. arete side-pulls rocks are very loose. first lead fall

Clean second go. Should of got it clean first go but I questioned myself and grabbed a quick draw. Nice climb but beware of loose blocks...

Side pull city

Decided it's a bit iffy to climb with all the loose blocks.

Apart from the 100 pieces of loose rock you either can't touch or have to tread really carefully on, it climbs pretty well. Belayers please keep clear of the fall zone. Pieces will fall one day!
