18 Opthalmia Trad 80m Very Good
Nice climbing apart from the "50% friend 50% foe" bush. The third pitch is nothing special (about as thrutchy as it looks). Take a number a couple of #4s (or a #5) for the top section.

16 D.N.A. Trad 10m Very Good
Cool moves at the start, easy wide crack to finish. Also very worthwhile.

 
16 Gear Freak Trad 10m Very Good
Pure handcrack. Definitely worth checking out.

Nice little layback. Probably a few grades harder than 12 though.

The Organ Pipes Central Buttress
21 M1 Gladiator Aid 35m Good
Thesarvo suggests that it goes free at 21. Seems way harder then that though. Quite an aesthetic and sustained line.

 
17 Catacomb Trad 30m Good
Not bad for a squeeze chimney. Very cool move switching from the chimney to crack.

 
19 Line Tamer Trad 50m Good
Hectic crux.

16 Friends With Cameras for Eyes Trad 15m Average
Slightly awkward and surprisingly sustained.

 
Mon 3rd Sep 2018 - Mount Roland
12 Rysavy Ridge Trad 400m Classic
Excellent little adventure. It took us 10 hours car to car, mostly simul-climbing with a couple of conventional pitches by a first time trad leader. Gear is actually pretty reasonable.

The Organ Pipes The Columns
21 Hakea Trad 40m Classic
This line has serious classic potential (after a bit of cleaning). Sustained and varied with several awesome cruxes, but way harder than advertised. Felt at least as difficult as Ultrasound.

 
19 Sessanach Trad 50m Good
Steep and sustained. Could do with a little less shrubbery though.

P1 is a bit average, P2 and 3 are both really nice.

The Organ Pipes University Buttress
21 Terra Nullis Sport 30m, 9 Very Good
Super hard for a 21.

 
23 21 Wide Boy Mixed trad 24m, 2 Good
Bailed off one of the unnecessary bolts. Sticking to the off-width (rather than bridging) might bring the grade down, I'm not sure though. Still pretty burly.

 
18 Triclinicity Trad 20m Good
A bit loose, but not ridiculous.

 
Wed 21st Mar 2018 - Bare Rock
Main Face
17 MacDonagh Trad 200m Very Good
It's got some really good climbing, but also some really not good climbing. Only attempt if you're comfortable dealing with choss. Rob dislodged an oven sized block 30m above me. I jumped off the ledge onto my anchor, and the rock and it's debris bounced pretty much where I'd been belaying. The two cruxes are both very good and the final pitch is really pleasant. Pitch 1 is a bit deathy though.

 
Wed 21st Mar 2018 - South Sister
Canyon Buttress
18 Solitary Pleasures Trad 9m Good
20 Emptiness, Eagles & Snow Trad 18m Mega Classic
About as good as it gets for a route this long. Keeps you fighting all the way.

 
18 Have Hans, Will Jam Trad 18m Classic
18 Bischoff and Wing's Original Trad 22m Very Good
19 Lawyers, Guns & Money Trad 22m Average
Pulled on gear. The crack is very uneven inside making cams annoying to place and jams awkwardly deep. There's also a bunch of really distracting flakes on the face which are tempting to pull on, but not at all solid. There's a fine line between good offwidths and bad offwidths. This is definitely one of the latter.

 
17 The Way We Were Trad 22m Very Good

A bit dirty but worthwhile. Several steep cruxy bits that felt pretty solid for a 20.

20 Icarus Trad 120m Classic
Wowee. The crux had better protection than I'd imagined, but it certainly wasn't any easier than I'd imagined. Classically bizarre awkwardness. No need for any gear bigger than a #3 or 4 (take tonnes of #2's though).

21 Blood On The Racks Trad 20m Average
Only 7 or so meters of hard climbing. Nasty little finger locks. I was slightly concerned about the welfare of my digits if I were to fall.

 
19 Minstrel In The Gallery Trad 15m Average
The crux is super dirty. Might be good to brush it before leading.
