Ascents in Illawong having Beta

bad run out at the top lots of rope drag

Hard up 2nd Bolt

say goodbye to your skin , not much fun

good fun

first few moves are good

argh - kicked my butt

will have to come back for this one for sure

Bit of reach required past the first bolt. Bit chossy making for some feet slipping, heart in mouth moments!

Tough start leads to great juggy slopers, finishes on slabby goodness

Climb is good--thin, technical, a little scary. Problem is I expected a few bolts on top and found a single carrot. Got a sling and rapped down from a tree.

onisght attempt, fell at the anchors. well what i thought were the anchors which were actually a couple of meters to the right. aptly took some skin off my elbow from.the resulting fall/slide down haha

redemption shot

This felt hard for 21! i ended up with a karate kick into the chimney to the left to get to the anchor the first time through, engaging to say the least.

Not sure if i wandered too far across the wall but made it through this time.

I did not use the sloper at the crux. Instead, left hand on arete as high as possible, right foot in the pocket just in front. Stand up on the right foot and keep body tension to avoid barn door. Catch the jug atop. No skin spent

Hard!

21 The Shire very fun more like 22

21 Weird!

Soft

onsight ffa, stoked to bag it and tag it before sunset

bloody rain

Strenuous onto the face

Strenuous off the ground and through the roof.

the arete, while tempting, is not on and actually makes it harder

about time i came back

Nice little slab

Ugly ugly.

great

actually harder if you use the arete wich is technically 'off'

i should stop dancing and climb more

A better one at this crag. First move is balancey, once you have it's simple.

Great friction climbing

Fairly easy, the bolt on the edge is very poorly placed as any biner is going to be loaded over the edge

Fantastic smearing

Rather like the others on this wall

Good arete and traversy move to find-a-hold slab

Nice moves after cripiness

Funny friction and left-leaning vertical holds. Tricky but good. This slab is also the base of the garbage dump.

Dogged the crap out of this, poor day or poor climber

I wandered around again so not sure if I stayed on line, clipped the ledge bolt on flakey to remove ground fall potential.

good flakes

in hiking boots

Bloody windy

one tricky section that is not that tricky

Very chossy arete

Much like Troada
