Ascents in North West as various tick types by Cameron Roy

Guiding. Scout climbing course.

Guiding, Scout climbing course. Very wet after rain. Linked 1+2 to save time but the rope drag was pretty bad.

Led p1 after Elisa bailed. Abseiled off. Doubles and a few long slings helped subdue any rope drag.

Man i love placing wires like this! Stellar route.

A few moves above your gear

Guiding. Great shady climb. High in the grade.

Guiding. Started early to avoid the heat, then went around and did Bulger.

Guiding. Did as 1 pitch.

Guiding

Guiding. 2nd pitch is always a winner.

Unclipped first draw to reduce rope drag. Cool bolt in pocket. Climbing on pockets is amazing.

Stellar climb. The crux had new me thinking for a bit. 11 bolts (not 10 as in guidebook)

Elisa put the draws up. Great introduction to the crag.

Elisa put the draws up. Great pockets.

Cool melon features. It's not all over once you're past them either.

A big old adventure for sure. Followed the first 3 pitches fairly well per the guide, then got off route after that. Double ropes very handy for wandering around looking for the route. Descent was a bit of a scrubby mission.

Awesome line. Very sustained. Gets steeper and steeper as you go. Great summer climb.

Crux leaving the ground with no gear. Really nice climb after that. Loose blocks on top

Nice route despite appearances. Climbed past bolts and up to alis.

Required a bit of grunting to get up this. No time to hang around! Gear was pretty good but the rock is a bit average in places - i knocked a bit out while placing a cam.

Cool climb. Not sure about putting gear behind some of the flakes on the traverse.

Didn't have to spend that much time inside the crack.

Deceptively jammy.

Pretty good. Funky move at the crux.

Having another look at this route. Some cool bits on P1 and P2.

Jam on!

I'm 193cm tall. Placed a high cam at the start at full stretch to protect the crux rockover move.

Really Hard off the ground. Mediocre thereafter and designed for maximum rope drag.

Alzheimers onsight - seconded this 3 years ago but didn't remember anything. Heaps of excellent protection available, I placed 18 pieces! Great climb for double ropes. A bit too much chalk for my liking.

Pleasant route, nice looking line.

Exciting route but it's only 2 moves long. Didn't see any loose blocks (as mentioned in the description.) There was one large flake though.

Kind of hard to see where to go starting off the tree. Went up little depression between bulges heading towards leftmost crack. Seemed a bit dangerous so I'm feeling this is closer to 19 than 18.

The rest of the climb was great though.

Really nice line, well worthwhile.

Got a bit scared at the jam crack so built a belay and brought Elisa up. Got braver and headed up. Super awesome climb. Placed more gear than was necessary but that's what I do when I'm peaking...

Cool climb. Nice boulder on top to tie a bowline around.

Exciting enough. 15 in the mentz and tempest guide.

Slippery as after I sweated all over it! Exited through the hole.

Ok, but nothing special.

Continually absorbing. Fiddly gear at the start, good thereafter.

Nice enough

Smooth and slippery down low, a bit of a wake-up call. I wonder if it may be becoming more polished with traffic. Nice route though.

Great route, more gear than I expected. Continually exciting. Excellent way to finish the trip.

High 1st piece.

Stellar route. Good protection. Very sustained after the low crux, strenuous to place gear there, then continuously absorbing before the final climax through the roof.
