Fantastic sustained climbing. That traverse into Epic's crack was classy.

20 | ★★★ Cock Crack | 38m | ||||
Man this was an adventure! Most sections were easier to offwidth than stem, I found. Well protected, absorbing, and looong!
|
||||||
22 | ★★★ Old Guard | 40m | ||||
What a rude/incredible introduction to blank open-book corner stemming/laybacking haha. Had me thinking hard to decode the blank sections. Loved it, but ended up continuing up the last rotten section with the wrong gear. Pulled out of the chimney onto the face, only to stick my face next to a hornet nest. Without thinking, I jumped down and swung off a jug, and next thing I know, I'm hiding in the chimney!

Epic day out that got made epic-er by a mixture of poor planning, and psychedness! Got to the top of P2 at 4:30pm, and faced with the fact of if we continued, there'd be no turning back, we opted to go for it What we didn't know is that it'd get freezing and that freak winds would come to throw us off Swinging on etriers through the roofs, un-usable numb fingers, frozen bodies, bolt plates getting pinged off by the wind-carried rope, and nightime summit views were all part of the fun

Didnt read it all perfect, and lurched for a jug or two, but pulled it off! Not as straightforward as Reality Dysfunction. Had to pay a lot more attention to sequencing on this line, and got way pumped. Such a journey. Fantastic. Sone bolts were very far out though? :S

An awesome climb with some top pitches (1, 2, and 7), but in overall not as epic as I'd hoped. Might be spoiled for exposure cos of Tassie, though this was awesome fun Pitch 7 had some awesome continuous climbing. I do not recommend linking P7 and 8 - rope drag going to the anchors far back in the cave was insane.

This, Yuddy, and Floating have sort of merged in my head now. All I remember is that there were so many little moves that it felt like 30m of climbing, not 15. My brain just about exploded on this, as did the front of my calves on those tensiony slopy footers. Wish we had more of this style back home.

Was going to get on The Lorax, but hearing the story of a climbing team who retreated off it the day before put us off. Maybe next year. Did this instead to smash out a shorter one, but ended up taking us longer cos of uncertain routefinding and us being unaware of the scramble-death topout! Pitch 2 was the standout. Bring double ropes! Would've been hell with a single.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, not even most people, but I highly recommend it for those with a head for adventure, spaced gear, and exposure! What a route, though. I discovered that a small part of me enjoys the delicacy required when climbing on choss (like the first and last couple pitches.

Me and Omri both agreed that the 2nd pitch was the nicest pitch of climbing we've done. Couldn't stop smiling and laughing up it! It felt like I was climbing on granite! Blank, but featured. Wouldn't have been surprised if P! and 2 were graded up to 23, though. Was in a way bummed that the dyno move wasn't a forced dyno. The sequence to that hold, and from the bucket to the anchors really made me think!

Awesome day out with Zac linking up this with Carborundum Chimney. Bloody classic for the exposure and positions alone. Can't believe how almost every belay is in a perfect cosy little cave. Some of the cave belays could do with a bolted belay, although microcams did the trick. Highly recommend if your head's feeling solid. Led all pitches. Deserving of at least a star. Superb.
There's a chain belay atop pitch 4 that wasn't in the guide ... perhaps placed to rap down Remains of the Day. |
