Reminiscent of Rodellar. Best tufa route in Oz? [2]
|
|||||||
24 | ★★ Jabba the Hut (Jabba the Slut) | 22m | ★★★ Classic | Sat 31st Mar 2012 | |||
Easy tufa climbing to very intimidating large roof which is thankfully very juggy. But then it begins.

22 Hard | ★ Sneaky Snorkeler - with Kamil Sustiak | 14m | Thu 2nd May 2024 | ||||
Felt oddly hard?

Yep.
|
|||||||
24 | ★★ Needle Shield - with Aaron Jones, Heath Black, Paul Frothy Thomson | 15m | Sun 27th Feb 2022 | ||||
No memory. My notes say "the 24".

Good climbing, perhaps reachy for some?

Second go.
|
|||||||
26 | ★★ The Cabal - with Kamil Sustiak | 15m | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Apr 2024 | |||
Satisfying to clean up an old dog from two years ago first try today. Which was surprising because I couldn't really remember what went on up there. There must have been some lingering muscle memory and/or right knee scar tissue.
|
|||||||
27 | ★★ The Syndicate - with Kamil Sustiak | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th Apr 2024 | |||
Had a play to figure out the moves while lowering off the 26. The "figuring out" part took far longer than I would've thought. First shot on lead. Felt good.
|

Some of the thinnest moves of all time to get started, yeesh! Oh, and the slab! Good god, the slab! 24 is fair I'd say.
|
|||||||
20 22 | ★★ The Sun is the Same (Unknown Left) | 25m | ★★ Very Good | Sat 29th Aug 2020 | |||
Really great, but a couple of spicy runouts mean you'll enjoy this more with a few grades of buffer. Could be 22ish?
