	24	★★★ Talk is Cheap - with Damien 2 24 35m Trad Very fun route, with good exposure (maybe a bit soft for the grade). I was very keen to flash it but I slipped twice because the rock was very spoogy. 3 22 40m Trad Fun roof and then easier slab, placing a cam in between 2 bolts at then end of the slab made me feel safer. 4 20 20m Second lead by Damien Hard last moves, I thought I was going to drop it. 5 23 30m Trad lead by Damien Super fun route but the holds in the overhang sections were very spoogy and I took multiple falls until I was able to clip the bolt after the bulge. 6 22 25m Trad I think it may have been my favourite pitch. Super fun crack. I was exhausted by the previous climbs and I took one sit half way through. 7 21 20m Trad The cracks were wet at the end and I got scared when I had to place the cams in those cracks. I had to commit hard not to drop it. 8 17 25m Trad Fun climb but it felt hard for a 17. I linked it with the previous pitch, I wished I had the cams placed on the previous one... 9 8 10m Second lead by Damien	Mixed trad 210m, 99	★★★ Mega Classic	Nil
Amazing route in spectacular location. Very varied climbing mostly bolted. Most of the pitches are overhung. Unfortunately the rock was very spoogy... We skipped the first pitch to avoid dropping the rope in the sea.

Rapped to bottom of 24, elite route!! Some gnarly moves and back to the normal bolting standards after spending time on Bruny lol, most pitches were extremely very badly salty, used a WHOLE bag of chalk just on this route, imagine chalking up every single move because the route basically feels wet. Had to really back myself on the 24 due to the slipperiness but we made it. Flash cause rapped the route. Done in 4 pitches as ticked. Great day out and very hot!!

Was not my day. Took a sideways swinging top rope fall on the first pitch that made the rope twang in a way I've never heard before. I got so scared of the rope breaking that I prussicked past that section (a first for me). The rock was so wet and salty that I completely emptied my chalk bag after filling it that morning, because every move required a double chalk up. Also had an audience right when I was struggling at the second pitch's roof: a tourist boat showed up and hung out under us with about 20 tourists all staring at me! Dylan would wave and the whole boat would wave back haha Felt better when they left but it must've been just to radio the other boats because two others showed up not long after. I swear I heard applause when I finally pulled myself over the lip! Did the last four pitches in one mega pitch; I needed to get off that mountain asap! Thought the top pitches would be better but pulling around the corner into the start of the last 22, found a lovely wet crack. But we got there and it was a character building day out! Without Dylan's cool head, unwavering enthusiasm and big muscles, I'd probably still be sitting down there as the newest attraction on Tripadvisor.

	24	★★★ Talk is Cheap - with Mitch Scanlan-Bloor	Mixed trad 220m, 99	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Whitelaw
A full value adventure, with big time exposure, hero moves, roof pulling, corner shimmying (wishing I'd brought my TCs as a less down turned shoe tbh) and a generous sprinkling of classy moves on every pitch. The final 21 pitch felt solid (and pumpy) for the grade. Was pretty gripped for the first couple of pitches near the ocean. Fantastic day, cheers Mitch, and Garry and Simon for equipping.

A serious undertaking. We went up the night before to stash gear and locate abseil points using gps cords on thesarvo. Came back the next day but couldn’t thrown the rope down due to high winds….literally when we threw the rope over it flew up in the air. So stashed the rest of the gear and then came back the THIRD day! We fixed the first two raps as suggested. Third rap to deanos ledge is fine but has a bit of a traverse in it. The rap Off deanos ledge requires the first person to clip in a directional, and the second person to take it out. The fourth rap takes you to three hangers with a bull ring and they are all connected by tat (unless we got the wrong anchors). Here our ropes got stuck and we couldn’t pull them. We climbed up two pitches using the end of one of our doubles, untangled at deanos ledge then climbed out from there. We basically only climbed half the route and it took 7.5 hours with a lunch break. The pitches are solid at the grade and rock quality is suspect. Serious adventure climbing. Make sure you know your rope skills and are confident making decisions if things go wrong.

Conditions depending; this might not be as chossy as it felt at first blush; as it was- most of it felt like sandy rock basted in cold wet vaseline. Stars for the position and the movement, and the mission of bolting this thing; but reaching a hand-jam-rest that you've been eyeing up, only to find it full of cold wet grease that sticks to your hands and is immune to chalk, left me dispirited to say the least. Hopefully it cleans up with some more traffic, lots of loose flakes and rock dust around, and maybe we just got unlucky with the spooge. We set a 70m fixed line to cut the raps in half, and stashed water and food at the halfway mark. Pre-equipped the 24, and then the second-to-rap clipped the rope above them at halfway on the final rap, so as not to launch the rope into the sea as we pulled it. Definitely bring a helmet, and keep a tight-squint while belaying to avoid the rock chips raining down from above. Took us about 9-10 hours from car to car. very impressed with Jake's onsight of pitch 2 despite it being covered in cold grease, and I took a king whip through the roof on pitch 3, which was a real thrill. Pitch 4 and 5 were 3 star, would repeat. Finally, to add to the drama of the day, I opted to leave my pocket unzipped on the rap for a bit of added spice. Predictably resulting in the launching of my phone straight out of said pocket, from the very top, down into the deep dark abyss. All in all, a long day of type 2 fun. would recommend.

Fairly smooth sailing today on this classic route. Insane movement in an outrageous position!! Rock definitely could do with an exfoliation haha. Route was suffering from pretty bad spooge.. Which I guess is usual? Made pulling through all the cruxes super exciting. Sadly pulled on cams during pitch 6 and couldn’t get the completely clean send. All things considered; very happy with the day. About as fun as it gets!!

Epic route, despite the spooge. Feels spot on at 24 when wet. Seth took a fall right onto the belay when tearing a rock off! Keep an eye out for the loose stuff. Pitch lengths are vastly overstated - the entire thing can be done on a single 70m easily. Climbed it in 4 pitches. Total route length is probably closer to 150m. The 2 pitches off the ledge are exactly 35m strung together (not the 50 the guide suggests).

Abseil was the mental crux. Once we got into the climbing it was surreal. steep thuggy climbing up overhangs and proper cut-loose roofs. Sun hit the wall late in the day and roasted us to a crisp. Topping out in the orange glow is something I'll forever remember

	24	★★★ Talk is Cheap - with Aidan Cox, antonio Atehortua	Mixed trad 220m, 99	★★★ Mega Classic	Benjamin Rowe
Great climbing and rock all the way, individual pitches are not too hard but the sustained climbing gets you - the top pitches became quite challenging. Didn't bring enough water, the wall gets quite hot when the sun hits, would suggest clipping a bottle of water every couple of pitches on the rap down. Fixed a single 70m and rapped the rest with a single 70m, preplacing the draws on the 24 to keep the rope out of the water. A must do for any gym climber - basically a yellow at Beta Park most of the way if you know what I mean. Very memorable day out, the orange afternoon glow was beautiful.

An incredible day - booming waves, strong winds and great climbing. I found pitch 2 to be quite straight forward, with the 23 & 22 requiring more effort and concentration. Managed to link a bunch of pitches - did the route in 5 pitches. Pulled a sizable block off from pitch 6. All in all, a phenomenal route with a reputation that doesn't disappoint.

Rad day out! The climbing was a touch dirty in places but that's expected as this is an epic place. The 26 pitch was great, the boulder problem in the corner felt hard but I'm a bit out of shape. Solved with granite squirm style! A knee pad would change things. There where a couple of spots where clipping was difficult, pre equip for sure. The desperate and scary mantle got easier as I pulled a minger off leaving a positive slot.

Great day out. Got lost on the rap in (probably didn't traverse far enough right on the 2nd rap off Deano's Ledge, and then the rap down to the Botanical Ledge we followed a line of bolts that weren't the climbing route but could have been the correct rap route??), but eventually made it to the belay 2m above the water for the first pitch. Choss in places but good climbing on most pitches.

Crux was the abseil! Found it very difficult to find the ledges on the way down. Acres of choss with wafer-like rock that crumbles underhand on most of the pitches. Amazing to start hanging 2m above the swell and kelp. Led pitches 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, & 9.

Awful conditions. Rapped to top of p3 but ascended rope again as the bottom pitches were totally gopping with sea spooge. I led p4,6,9. Aided through a gopping flake on p5, and the gopping finger-crack on p7 A1 style. Great climbing. Will def come back when it's dry...great sea cliff adventure.

A good adventure in an awesome, intimidating place. I led p1,3,5,7 & 8 in mixed free/aid ('fraid) style, which is what you do when the big scary ocean that wants to swallow you and all the loose rock that wants to squash you makes you feel a bit 'fraid. We brought the portaledge and spent the night at Deano's ledge just for the hell of it. Great spot to sit, sip whisky and watch the ocean.

Totally fucked in my opinion. The only positive thing for me to say about that route is that the location and exposure are wicked. Crap, friable rock especially at pitch 1. Some further bolts below pitch 1, which lead into nothing but a huge roof. I broke off a massive block in pitch 2 and was glad to still be alive. Not the only possible death block here, that's for sure. Surely I wasn't in the right place with my head afterwards, but I really didn't enjoy the rest either. Weird bolting, the climbing itself is nothing special at all and probably sandbagged. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, there are better climbs to do.

Lead for all pitches. Onsight all except for crux pitch. Needed to aid climb. So difficult. Also doged a move on the 22 pitch. All the pitches felt harder than the grade assigned. Quite the mission. About 12 hrs car to car.

Amazing exposure, position and moments of brilliant climbing. Marred by the worst rock I've climbed in Tassie (choss, dirt and flakiness), and some contrived bolting to force inferior climbing. Led P2, P3 & P4 (Link), P6, and P7 & P8 (link). 2nd Clean all others. Fell of on the last hard moves of P2 grabbing rubble instead of rock on the final throw (needs another bolt, took a bad whip on the slab)... I went Direct (felt 25), but chalk shows most people going way out right to avoid the crux??

Be sure to continue trending right on the second to last rap. We ended up on a false "botanical ledge" when we didn't keep right and I rapped off it into open space. Had to climb back out through a ton of loose rock. One of which fell on my rap line and gave it a nice core shot. After our scary near miss we decided to skip the first two pitches and continue up. All clean bar a fall on the crux of the 23 pitch.

Big wall'in on a big sea cliff. Pay close attention to the rap description, as andy and myself got off line and a rope stuck. Poor andy had to prussic 40 odd metres to free the rope and a big swing by myself to get back on line. We did the 20 start with a wild and memorable belay 3m above the surging sea. Make sure you climb left on the second pitch.. The two hard pitches up top are great fun with the 23 crux crack boulder problem awesome fun.

Variant 20 start, sent Ryan up the 19 crack pitch with only 2 cams, linked a few pitches, did all clean except one rest on the 23, alt leads. Last 21 pitch not pleasant on sore fingers.

The 20 pitch is minus a hold now. Tricky corner. The first 23 pitch was good. 22 pitch hard start. Last 23 pitch stonking but harshrock,and 17 pitch muscly for grade
