Ascents in New South Wales and ACT as various tick types

Super duper.

Still good Disregard the seeping section at the overlap and continue on.

Hard start followed by lovely wall climbing

Ooooo that's good climbing

bahaha! shi man stiff for a 16! missed the jug on first attempt and took a phat whip! Defs not just a warm up run, but definitely warmed us up

Repeat

like nfm, tricky start and then fun lower grade climbing.

awesome starting moves, will get it cleanly on lead 1 day

sore and tired so maybe it is a 16 but that starting mantle is brutal for the grade

one sloppy attempt about 7 years ago, but took my chance to get on it this weekend in perfect weather. Great varied climb with historic significance

A fun afternoon out on the escarpment

Tess wanted to do Whale of a Time. I forgot it needed a 70m doubled over for access. Big Fat Fin Slappers was accessible and is basically the same thing

A nice line up the corner of an amazing climbing location. Good gear pretty much whenever you need it, but not a crack climb.

The 3 trad pitches were excellent quality.

The sport exit pitch nearly killed us.

Rick pulled on a microwave-and-a-half-sized boulder as he was topping out, felt it move and instinctively let go.

The block was dislodged and we think it fell onto his lead rope below and sandwiched it between the two rock surfaces.

He then fell and the force on the rope causes the boulder to fall the rest of the way off the cliff and the forces at play shred (and what looks like melts!) the sheath between the two rocks. There's about 50 cm of exposed core. But, impressively, none of the strands have broken!

I hear "ROCK!" and faceplant against the cliff face and the rock magically falls past me and none of us are dead.

Very fun

tricky

tricky traverse

Forced the jump start. Very easy to fall off this one

Scarey top out
