Ascents in Mount Keira by Doug

A fun couple of moves. So much nicer with a pad. 25 year anniversary repeat.

So nice to not have to brush. 25 year anniversary repeat.

25 year anniversary repeat. Like climbing a billiard table.

So nice to see these boulders getting climbed. 3 rad variations with and without the sidepull from 1-4.

25 year anniversary repeat. tall

Love the mono. Cool slab straight up. 25 year anniversary repeat.

Snatchy start then cruise. 25 year anniversary repeat.

Tree root and 0 cam for anchor! Then whipped on it a bunch for giggles. Surprisingly tech start into devious crux for the grade.

Unique dyno. Forgot my brush.

AFter 20 years finally had a proper go. Awesome nails climbing with monster footwork. Assuming the hole(s) of WA (at 3rd bolt) is in, otherwise even more nails. Most likely this does not avoid major face crack on top (19). Note: 2 rusty bolts and then gear or death.

Really good fun. Proper 23 slab.

Underclings. Feet in the dishes. Right hand in the dimpled undercling. Load right foot, grab the knob, then right foot to left undercling. Straight forward cranking from there (left foot smear on the high grey bit and then right backstep all the way up there).

Edit: A bit stronger so left foot straight up to ledge, readjust right foot into closer dish (if wanted, makes the move slightly easier) and then crank.

Stick totally the nose until on top. Great climbing in the 2nd half.

Will always be a crap onsight due to sand and dirt.

Worst climb I've done in 24 years. Every hold wet or dirty. Moves are decent enough but needs traffic.

Better than it looks. Fun moves, decent gear.

Onsighted with Karl in '98? Two alzheimers attempts since then had to skip last bolt and whip at the chain. Will fix the newish anchors chip sometime in the near future. Brilliant airy climbing.

Brendan's 3rd lead

Brendan's 1st lead.

Fun but short. Sandy first move crank. Cool thin traverse with bad feet. Chipped footer not needed. Mantle would be hell. Two sandy (no I mean actual sand) excuses for holds.

Airy and insecure climbing between bolts. 20 years ago this was an easy clipup.

20th anniversary repeat. Hooray for fairy brushers. So many great problems from bumbly to bumpy under the moss.

20th anniversary repeat. Right hand pocket sidepull v2. Left hand pocket gaston v1. All in the feet.

Traverse from Jungle cat to here for ** 3.

Nice in the dry.

Feet.

Solid for 6.

High for west face. OK kids route, bit slopey/reachy.

Better staying off the ledge and gives it its grade.

longish and steep. Grade inflation.

Not worthless

Big roof big jugs.

One move.

Fun over the roof. Soft for 21.

Way better and steeper than it looks.

The slab is always hard. The jump!

Bit short but it is the west face.

All in the feet.

Nice climbing with a V2 start. Solid for a 14.

Thin for 16.
