What we thought was the 2nd pitch of Long Time Coming... Turned out to be much harder than the grade 20 we thought we were on! Delicate slabby tai chi moves past 4 bolts before a crux at the end to gain the overlap where you can plug in some cams.

Has to be up there with the best I've done in WA. This route really does have everything. Still quite amazed that we both managed to onsight it with a backpack and only one chalk bag between us.
Contrary to the guide, take a range of cams for the first two pitches. It's not overhanging so you won't get pumped with the extra weight.

What an amazing climb! So varied and each pitch completely different and memorable. The climb is in the shade all day except for the last pitch so make sure you bring a jacket!
Pitch 1 - Thin crimps on small edges. Quite balancey. Guide said to clip the first bolt of P2 before the belay but found it was too much rope drag. Instead used a #3 placement in crack on ground just before the belay. Brought 2x #2 and 2x #3 which was useful along with a small cam for the end of the first sickle. Pitch 2 - The boulder traverse Slopey feet whilst traversing on crimps, crux was the move at the end of the traverse and transitioning to the vertical crack. Used 1x #2 to protect the crack. Pitch 3 - The aid pitch Layback corner to a #3 then a #2 useful just below the aid bolts. Brought 60cm slings. Still found it little bit reachy and strenuous to reach the next bolt. The delicate slab climbing to finish Pitch 4 - The get out of here pitch Nothing too special, a bit run out and thin and shallow crack for protection. Used tiny nuts. |

This is not better than chocolate. In fact, I have eaten chocolate that I found in the street gutter, covered in chew marks from mice that was better than this climb. I do not rate it at all. The start of the first pitch is cool. But the rest is just awful. There could however, be some confusion to what route we were actually on.
