Ascents in New South Wales and ACT by Simon Ellis

Soft for 20, but enjoyable climbing.

Second pitch is worthwhile, with some sustained and balancey moves in a great position. P1 is contrived and crumbly.

great, balancey arete

committing moves round the arete, followed by superb face climbing up a crack!

Led P1 and 3. P1 is straightforward. P2 follows easy moves in a great position up the blunt arete. P3 has brilliant hard moves through the first overhang, on rock which is actually not too bad. Then brilliant exposed moves to finish.

Led P1 and P3. Enjoyable varied climbing, up a fantastic wall.

Exciting climbing in excellent positions. Still felt run out in places, even with the new bolts; it must have been very bold before! Started slightly to the right after being repulsed by the direct.

Excellent climbing up a beautiful corner which eats no. 1 cams. Pumpy but surprisingly positive laybacking.

Excellent climbing up a great line. Always interesting, but never desperate. Fine positions, great views of Narrow Neck, and quite exposed. The access is interesting too!

Bouldery start, then steep but good jugs

Enjoyable climbing with a thoughtful crux

Very enjoyable. Tricky start, with awkward mantel onto ledge, then easier up the balancey head wall.

Good fun juggy climbing

Enjoyable climbing and good position.

Good moves, never too difficult, but always interesting. A bit damp the day we did it.

Good fun, with cool laybacking up the arete.

Tough pull into the corner, then really enjoyable to the top.

Enjoyable and engaging climbing.

Really enjoyable and engaging climbing.

Brilliant climbing. I found it more a test of technique and composure than of strength. Superb.

Very rewarding climbing. Traversed in from left.

Thought provoking but very enjoyable climbing, leads to a committing pitch onto the fantastic headwall, where all your hard work is rewarded with juggy exposure. A fantastic day out. (I led the odd pitches, we did it in 9).

P2 only, continuing from Genesis P1. Feels quite bold despite the rings.

Great moves up and out of the corner, to the top.

Enjoyable climbing, never too hard, but still interesting.

Fun and intersting climbing. Just wish it was longer!

P1 only. Great climbing.

Awkward start, then really rewarding climbing up the face.

Excellent climbing that rewards commitment. Pumpy fun to start with, then easier balancey climbing up the headwall. A classic.

Excellent, and engaging climbing the whole way. I found the protection to be adequate, but you need to search for it and be comfortable leading above your gear at the grad; exciting trad climbing!

Exciting, engaging climbing through the groove.

Sustained jamming up a true splitter crack. Had to run it out a few times in the second half due to not having enough cams of the same size. Absolutely brilliant.

Superb climbing on both pitches. Well protected.

Accidentally started too far to the left, which was probably easier than the actual route. The final headwall looks like the best bit though.
