17 | ★★ MacDonagh - with Scott Godwin | 200m | ★ Good | |||
Pleased to be on second after 5 months off, good day out with scott ticking off one of the early classics. There are some good moves here and there, respect to the first ascenders with their hexes and body belays in 1969. Had a laugh at the thesarvo description- 'Editor's note: there's a lot of poxy old choss heaps in the state which get described as "fine routes"; this is, however, a genuinely pleasant and interesting climb'

Probably the best climb I've done on the pipes, felt more like 17 but depends how you do it, naughty roof moves on first pitch and specky layback on second pitch. 3 stars IMO

|
||||||
17 | ★★ Baystone Blues | 45m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Probably the best route I've done on the wall. Pulled off a scabby flakey crimper hold at the crux which now means that the climb is harder. I cleaned it for the next leader, that's the shit that nightmares are made of, like baring down on scabby flakes on 5m runouts above pro placed under scabby flakes..
