I did not think this was much easier than Worm Hole and that was tricky for an 18.

15 | ★★ Me And My Dog - with Rose | 45m, 11 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Great route, I must have missed at least one bolt that put me a LONG way above the gear in the middle, kept a cool head and felt good!
|

17 | ★★ Sports Fan - with Rose | 45m, 11 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very nice route. The fun moves through overhang are well protected. Crux is finding the carrots!

One tricky section at the start then just stepping up blocky slab for 25m.

Eagle's Nest | ||||||
15 | ★ Miss Kandy Kane | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
I thought this would be better given the popularity, the rock is turning back into sand up top! The bolts at the chains are looking pretty ordinary as well, some glue-ins are in order.
|
||||||
17 | ★★ 2,4,5 T | 42m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Obligatory lap on this climb, so much fun.

15 | ★ Tea for 2 | 35m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun climb that has some steep rock in the upper half. Spent 2 hours belaying up multiple seconds!

17 | ★ Little Ray Of Sunshine | 45m, 10 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Thought I'd done this before but must have ticked this previously when I was actually on 245T. I got a bit confused at the tricky overhang up top. It's easy once you commit.

15 | Book Em' Danno | 10m | Average | |||
Not a 13 at the start, got a bit of a surprise! Top out is great, best bit of the climb, def take a sling for pro up there. Feels like the climb was never properly equipped.
|

21 | ★★ DH4 | 7m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Got it clean after sorting out the sequence at the start. Did not get a chance to go for the red point.

15 | ★★ Get Into The Groove - with dave kenny | 50m, 7 | ★★ Very Good | |||
The second pitch is magic and on its own it is a classic, but the first pitch is pretty ordinary. The run outs might freak out new leaders. Could be done with only a set of slings to protect the first pitch (there is no gear other than the trees anyway), just clip the first bolt on P2 and stay attached to the tree to belay.

15 | ★ Patience Crack | 100m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Dan led P1, I led 2 and 3 combined. Excellent climb, gear and exposure. Only just managed to link P2 and 3 with a 50m rope and a little simu-climbing. Some tricky moves in there for a 15.

Another lap just to do it clean, did not get a chance to lead it again.
|

17 | ★★★ Minotaur p1 | 20m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Embarrassing but I took a big fall trying to clip the 4th bolt on my first attempt. Ended up very close to the ground with my belayer 3m up in the air. Probably should have used the huge jug just above the bolt not the tiny crimp below it...

Eagle's Nest | ||||||
17 | ★★ 2,4,5 T | 42m, 9 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Excellent climb, bummer you have to climb through the shitty sandy stuff for the first 10m to get to the good stuff. Pretty overhung for a low grade, but all the holds are there, and the rests are where you need them.

15 | ★★ Coco Pops | 30m, 7 | ★ Good | |||
Jugs all the way and pretty easy climbing but super runout in a couple of locations. Pretty sustained as well. Just forget the bolts and climb! Might not be the best beginner lead.

16 | ★ Becalmed | 13m, 6 | Average | |||
Start is vaguely reminiscent of English gritstone... If only it did not turn to sand under foot. Fun headwall.
|

18 | ★ Hook Line And Sinker | 10m, 5 | Average | |||
Awkward crux that is harder than expected looking from the ground.

Tough little move to the 3rd bolt.

Desperation Wall | ||||||
17 | ★★ Zeitgeist - with Dan | 110m | ★ Good | |||
Rain held off long enough to get up this. Fun first pitch but the second two are pretty generic. I led pitches 1 and 3, Dan led pitch 2. Skipped many bolts on the third pitch to reduce drag and eliminate backcleaning (otherwise requires about 16 draws).

Pitches 1, 2, 3 and got rained off so rapped. Dan led 1 and 3, I led 2. Pretty sketchy first pitch in the wet.

Finally found out that this is the climb we did ages ago (date guessed). I just saw the decent looking corner on the way to Prometheus and decided to go up that. Thought we were pioneering an epic new route... but really you can do whatever you want on this section of Tibro. Rapped down caves route. Great day out!

Eagle's Nest | ||||||
14 | ★ 2 For Tea | 32m, 9 | ★ Good | |||
A good climb but probably pretty average for the crag. There are a few reachy moves and there is no way that finish on the overhung headwall is a 14, closer to a 17 or so. The second last bot is in a terrible spot leading to some heinous rope drag if you're belaying up a second.
|

17 | ★★ Free Range Heggs | 20m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | |||
I'm going to call this one a classic. Fantastic exposure and interesting moves up some crazy rock.

Quality climb and surprising moderate given the steepness. Ironically there was a baby brown snake enjoying the sun in a hole just before the second last bolt. Keep calm, clip and carry on.

Upper Cliffs The Upper Main Cliff | ||||||
15 | ★★★ Icehouse - with Snapple | 40m | ★★★ Classic | |||
More a test of your head than your arms, 50m is a long way to keep you sh1t together. I almost lost it when I found myself at the crux, 40m off the deck and with a couple of suspect cams 4m below my feet. Staring at three perfect hex placements does not help upward progress when there are no hexes left on your harness. So a few deep breaths and I ran it out to the wide crack where with great relief I jammed in the #3 and dispatched the last few meters. WooooHoooo!

16 | ★★ Line Of Credit - with Tigz | 70m, 23 | ★★ Very Good | |||
We defied Mother Nature and her rainy ways. She said f u and opened up the skys when I was at the 6th bolt on P1, nothing like leading tibro in the wet! It dried up and pitch two was fantastic.

Distinctly without ledges that usually mare easy climbs in the glasshouse. Fun climb, plenty of gear.

First "climb" since the shoulder injury. Climbing is pretty ordinary because it is a lot of bush bashing through ledges interspaced with sections of easy but very poorly protected climbing. But it is still a really fun choose your own adventure style climb. We knew where it started and where it ended, the rest we worked out by climbing upwards!

17 | ★★ Remains Of The Day | 140m, 22 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Awesome! Leading the start of P3 is exciting! Led 1, 3, 4 and 5. Rob led 2. Gear required: #1 C4 top pitch 3. Single set C4 #0.3 to #2 and set BD stoppers on pitch 5. Rest is bolts. Rapped the route with 100m half rope (50m rappels) in three pitches, only just managing to link 4 and 5 with rope stretch. Linked 1 and 2 easy. Grade is a stiff 17 and pretty consistent the whole way except P5 at about 14.

Nice easy trad route with good protection, we went on to complete blabbermouth proper.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ Blabbermouth | 200m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great route, good rock, nice mix of trad/sport and plenty of air. I led 1, 3, 5 and 7, Ian made short work of 2, 4, 6. Variant start is a great trad route in its own right. We went off route at top of pitch 2 and ended up on El Schorcho (21). No wonder it seemed like a very hard 16! At the third bolt I and traversed right to the right line. Pitches 4-7 are pretty chilled after the first three. I soloed the last pitch which goes at grade 10.

Great day out with Jonothan, Amanda, Chris and Sven. Soloed the whole route, some nice exposure but basically a scramble. Me Sarah and Jono rapped down Blabbermouth on the North East buttress but I've previously been up to the summet from that point after doing Black Orpheus, so ticking this climb now.

Really happy to have onsighted this, hardest climb I've lead in a while. Form slowly coming back. Make sure you go right at the last bolt... all that moss covered rock to the left is not a two star 20!

I led 2nd (crux) pitch, Jonothan led 1 and 3/4 (combined). I climbed the first pitch twice after I dropped our biggest hex at the belay, grrr! Second pitch did not seem too bad, hardly any worthwile gear on that slab but very easy climbing. 3rd pitch was great but insainly run out, Jonothan basically soloed it. On combined pitches 3 and 4 (55m) we only placed 5 bits of gear! Finished up the caves route and walked down the west face tourist route. Great day out!

I led this first, then went back on top rope to see how I could have done it better. That slab section up top is very technical with tiny holds and even smaller feed. Felt very run out, only three bolts... guide does say use 1.5 SLCD somewhere? Anyway, good change of style at Brooyar.

16 | ★★ It's A Long Way To Tip A Fairy | 45m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Another great climb, the top overhangs look scary but the climb's bark is worse than it's bite, it's Brooyar and there are holds everywhere. Maybe a little run out but no need for natural pro as the description says.
|
||||||
16 | ★★ The Pioneer | 40m, 11 | ★ Good | |||
Done with Terry, this climb has a great variation in it's 40m; face climbing, Brooyar pockets then nicely overhung and exposed up top. Great fun.

Mmmm traversing Little bit more challenging than the previous pitch. Great fun. Make sure you have a 60m rope if your rapping this route with a single rope. Especially if you want to combine pitch 3 and 4 for the rap. Loved this entire route.
|

15 18 | ★★ Troposphere (Troposphere p4) | 110m | ★ Good | |||
Really easy after the previous pitch, but great position and enjoyable climbing.
|
||||||
18 | ★★ Troposphere (Troposphere p3) | 110m | ★ Good | |||
One section on this pitch is hard, easier ground to the right but becarefull of a fall here, you'll take un unpleasent swing into the wall. Stoked to have led this.
|
||||||
17 18 | ★★ Troposphere (Troposphere p2) | 110m | ★ Good | |||
Starts to get a bit more dawnting to the end of this pitch, I combined it with P3.

15 | ★★ Troposphere p1 | 110m | Average | |||
Seconded after Dan, just really an access pitch to the real climbing. Although the last few meters are more interesting.
