Ascents in Queensland as various tick types by Matt Schimke

Awesome find. Amazing location.

Awesome feature

Apparently an FA. Nice little problem,

Had a decent onsight attempt but missed a crucial finger slot out left which pumped me out. Second go it went smoothly, nothing to hard just continuous technical moves. Very nice route (2).

11 years since I did the FA of this. Nice to repeat it

Did this a long time ago but never logged it as a climb. Good warm up.

Fell off the start, bunched horrible sit start if your tall. Did it first go once I got my ass off the ground.

I really like this one, allows you to use that awesome right hand pinch. Couple of shots.

May have tried if a long time ago, but cannot remember. Probably my favourite of the boulders.

Climbs really well! Bit spooky between second and third bolt but you just have to go for it and the fall is fine and it is well bolted. Complicated and confusing crux with a lot of options. (2)

Contrived but the rock is decent.

Feels to me as if this is the obvious way to climb this boulder in the least contrived way.

Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem. Very unique for Queensland. A few of the bolts are a little hard to clip but apart from that it flows pretty well.

Sharp warmup! Probably a bit much for a warm up.

Cool climb! Had a good onsight attempt, fell just before shield. Went well on second go although I still need a few more days to get used to steep climbing again and the sharpness of this place (2)

Strange semi hanging belay. Fun but contrived staying on the arete.

Sharp rock on top out. Watch your rope!

Probably a bit easier than 18

Hard sequence to read for a 19. Would be easy to faff the sequence

Really enjoyed this one. Bouldery start to exposed and wild finish. Nice.

Awesome!! Feels great to tick a hard climb again, its been over four years since I have done this grade. I am climbing unfit, don't have the same headspace for projecting but still managed to work through all the mental battles of projecting and tick this one. Definitely my style of climbing and I love the intricate beta needed to solve the multiple cruxes. Put a locker on the second bolt as Ive had issues with the draw crossroading and even managed to snap a biner with a fall (10).

Tricky at the top. Bummer the quality of rock isnt so crash hot near the anchor, spoils an otherwise great route.

The start two bolts is some of the worst climbing I have ever done. Redeemed slightly by the cool stemming crux. The top is just a test in rock quality reading.

Lovely to get out on the mountain on a beautiful day. Haven’t done a multi in years. This one is nice! First pitch has a couple of awkward moves but altogether is very fun. The final pitch (8) is actually pretty fun although short and you need to sling a big boulder to belay your second up.

We started at 7:30am and didn’t hit the sun until the final pitch.

Super varied and interesting climbing.

Scary top out.

Awesome climbing.

I found this pretty hard but managed it anyhow.

Nice consistent climbing.

About 5 shots. Haven’t really done a lot of mantling before so this was good to gain some skills. Avoided side pull put it really wouldn’t change the grade anyway.

Second shot. Having some reach helps.

Nice warm up.

Interesting. Bolts can be a little hard to find but they are all in logical spots.

Fun! Good addition to the wall.

Tricky to onsight; the rock is hard to read and holds are hidden. Great route!

Missed the jug over the lip on onsight attempt. Got it second shot. Nice crux boulder and the top is no giveaway. Although it looks a little contrived the line is obvious when you are climbing it. I think this will settle at grade 25 unless your a shortie. (2)

Climbed TOS and decided to continue up this. I liked it! Technical.

Top is great as everyone has said. Bottom two bolts are good fun too! Be mindful on the runout after the third.

First shot was in the blazing sun and I had no idea where I was going. Bolt to bolt. Found it pretty hard! Second shot was better, but still felt unfit and pumped at the top. 5 months with no outdoor climbing will do that (2)

Nice to be back on this two years later. Forgot most of the moves but did it first shot today. (2).

Cant believe I haven't done this one before. Good fun

Backlog. Fun route!

Last year at some point. Forgot to log.

Hadn't been on this for what?? ummm 7 years maybe? Straight up placing draws, felt nice and easy. Hey, maybe this outdoor climbing game might be for me again.

Warm up. Nice and easy. Years away from this but still remember the beta like it was yesterday

Climbs way better than it looks. Could do with a shuffle of bolts, and an addition of another. Not really an 18 for a beginner. Take care.

Rock is questionable and worn. But is surprisingly pumpy for a short route.

Actually really fun! Rock quality is a little crumbly, but the bolts are all where you need them, and the moves technical and fun. A hold crumbled under my foot at the last bolt on the onsight attempt and I ended up near the first bolt pretty quickly

The direct start is tricky and fun. Probably worth stickclipping.

Accessed this by climbing TT, rope runs way nicer! Man, this is a tough one to figure out on the onsight! I wasn't even close to pulling the right sequence. Burly undercling crux. (2)

Oh wow, that happened! Second ascent! 85% humidity, and low psych made this a big surprise. Climbed fruit bat again for the first time in maybe 4 years?? for a warm up. JJ psyched me up to give it another go and got it! The crux is so cool. (4)

Cool and sustained climbing! Probably as hard as Absinthe, but maybe not as technical? I think this is the pick of the lines in the choss cave. (2).

Woohoo! Hardest route outside of Coolum. I got some beta to try different kneepads, so did just that and it made all the difference for that shitty knee scum at the crux. Climbed the route direct as Lee did, and glad I did. Just like a lot of the harder routes at Ninderry, they can be a bit contrived so no classic from me. Probably low end 29, but how would I know considering its my first 29 face climb? (9)

Woohoo! Finally! First started trying this in 2012 and have been falling off the last move multiple times every year since! Been doing a bit of training lately, which helped me get this pretty easily today. Super tired and feeling crappy but still managed to do it fairly in control and got to the anchor feeling surprising OK! No classic from me, as it is contrived, but the rock quality and moves make up for that. Onto Semtex! (20).
