Ascents in Sunshine Coast by Robert Hartley having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Easy scrambling up lichenous rock to the bolt. Bit damp in the gully.

Typical nondescript Tibro access pitch. Bolts where you need them, and a nice wire near the top.

A 30m percussion instrument.

Lots of dummy, suspicious rock at either end of this pitch.

The route this pitch follows wasn't immediately obvious to me. Generally up and left from the belay, for future reference.

A really nice pitch of climbing. Bolts are well spaced, but wire placements are easily found.

A fun little traverse. Lots of projectiles sitting in the gully.

Quite a crazy looking pitch of climbing! Certainly longer than photograph's I'd seen made it appear.

Great mix of jamming, stemming, and weird arm bars while you shake out your claves.

The crack didn't feel like a 20 to me, perhaps closer to 18/19. I felt the hardest one or two moves were exiting the crack at the top as you step out onto the face.

Rock quality within the crack was generally decent. Several portable holds on the faces either side, however.

Medium - large wires and hexes were my primary protection. Plus small - medium cams.

MVP:

#2 hex at the top of the crack!

A nice pitch of climbing with solid rock.

Hangers are decently spaced but where you need them. Didn't see any placements on this pitch, but didn't feel the need for any gear.

Went past the actual anchor for this pitch and belayed from the top of the second last pitch of Ross Miller Route (up and left). This made exiting via Blabbermouth easier.

Great lead by Scott!

This pitch felt very soft for a 21, closer to 18/19 in my opinion.

A hard few moves straight off the belay, especially if you’re short. These moves felt harder than anything on the 21 pitch.

Easy climbing with a single #0 (DMM) to reduce the runout.

Stellar lead by Stevie C

Run out sport with a horn to sling. Easy climbing and a nice intro pitch.

Bit of an awkward belay, with a low tree in the way.

Interesting pitch with a nice stance at the top for lunch.

Just keep trending slight left, and you can’t get lost.

Rope drag wasn’t too bad. I found it easier to go up the arête.

Didn’t spot the hidden pro on the left, I must have stayed too far right, but there was some gear available?

Fantastic slab pitch! Gear available to minimise the runouts.

What you’re here for! A terrific pitch of climbing with great pro the whole way.

Great pitch of climbing and thrilled to have done so well! Bomber gear, great hands and feet and plenty of opportunity to test.

The belay at the top of p2 is excellent (large wire, cam and thread), I don’t know why others suggested traversing onto Phoenix p2.

I had planned to lead this pitch too, but I built and anchor of the rope and neither Yim or I could be bothered swapping ends.

I thought this pitch was a bit tricky near the white rock, but otherwise pretty cruisy. Decent runout to the trees / grass which form your belay.

Didn’t miss the first bolt this time, had a good chat to the party of three ahead. Chose to do El Scorcho than make a crowd at each belay.

Great to come back and lead this pitch! Really fun climbing.

I maintain my original opinion of the grade, even on lead it’s a soft touch. Stiff 18 / solid 19 in my opinion.

Great second by Andre!

A few hard moves off the belay, and then you’re off! Mellows very quickly into a scramble.

Great lead by Andre, especially given my pooly remembered description of the pitch… Handled the runouts excellently.

Not as insecure climbing as the description and previous comments seemed to suggest. The feet are slick but the hands are quite positive.

Yim did an excellent job leading this pitch and I cannot wait to return to lead it myself!

Yim linked 1 and 2, and I would do the same in future.

#4 BD hex was brilliant for the first piece. It sunk so well I didn't think I'd get the damned thing out.

Yim slung a horn at the top and lovingly weighted it with his approach shoes: the olfactory crux.

Another great lead by Yim!

As I arrived at the cave, I couldn't see the belay behind Yim and thought for a second that I was the lucky recipient of the loosest hip belay I've ever seen...

I reckon the crux mantle on this pitch would be much harder if you were short.

A 0.8 totem would've been better for the mentioned slot, and you could get an ornamental micro into the glued on flake too I guess.

It might also be easier to place the cam after moving past the slot, rather than before.

If linking 1 & 2, the risk of the second swinging is quite low as you're essentially walking for all but the last meter of the traverse.

Stellar finger jams the whole way up with enough sinker wires to (almost) make up for the overwhelming lack of gear on the first two pitches!

Cruise jamming and ledge hopping. Decent gear where you need it.

A fun little pitch in its own right, with a stellar keyhole wire placement right at the start of the crack.

Wasn't expecting a bolted belay here, but I'll take it!
