Ascents of Lieder

Started pretty well but got a bit lost and ended up on the crux pitch of Lieben which was a bit spicy

Started lieder ok, until we took the wrong route after pitch 4... Ended accidentally doing the last few pitches of Lieben... Jay led the crux, it was definitely butt clenching

After a good rest day we were much better prepped and had a proper alpine start for this. Had a tourist chopper buzz us at some point. On the start of the 3rd pitch stemming over the mini waterfall my foot blew on dodgy rock and I tumbled about 5m back to the belay. In hind sight it is probably the worst fall I've ever had but luckily I was barely hurt with just a bruised forearm which has yellowed up nicely since. 'With care' is an understatement of the start of pitch 3. Pitch 5 has a fantastic airy crux and is the jewel in this route. We topped out with plenty of light and back on the ground at dusk, then hoofed it back to the car and home

A very memorable route. Thought it'd be nice to get on and have a nice easy, airy wander up a grade 16.... not quite. A committing route for the grade with sections of sparse protection, moist or loose rock and some really neat exposure. The two grassy ledges were great for a half-height picnic and it was nice to sort out the mess of a description for the end of the 3rd pitch. Skippy took an exciting tumble/bounce down the waterfall face and was arrested by a #5 BD microwire after a good sized block decided it wanted to relocate itself. Really interesting, engaging climbing and totally up there with FOTP in my books.

Quite good! We got a bit off-route by climbing too high on the first pitch before moving right and had to abseil back to the correct belay ledge. I'm pretty sure the climb starts just right of the highest point of the pinnacle near Cornerstone Rib. The gully on the second pitch is quite easy to see from the ground - it's just right of a large orange cave.

Went to have a crack at this (probably classic) route as some kind of minor preparation for Flight of the Phoenix later in the week but failed to find the start (we think) and after wandering up the wall for 100m or so decided to bail off some conveniently left bail slings. Had a minor epic doing this as the rope got caught, ultimately resulting in some very nice climbing back up to free them and then down climbing to prevent it happening again. A very successful self rescue attempt which i feel is an achievement in of itself in the Bungles!

Most likely a classic, however we started well right, or didnt traverse right enough and went up the wrong gully. We then decided to bail off the slings which were thankfully left by other people which meant we didnt have to leave any precious gear! After the first rap the ropes became stuck and we had quite a successful self rescue climbing up to a point where we could free the ropes then downwards lead to the next rap station.
