The ropes would not pull from the tree no matter what we did. So lead P1 to get back to the top of the pedestal to try and see if it would help to be on higher ground to pull our stuck ropes. It did not. Ascended the rope a second time and left a sling and locker around the tree.

Discovered that it's really easy to get lost on a route with no bolts or crack to show you the way (in addition to the stupidity of not reading the guidebook instructions).
Ironically, climbed up to the DRBB of P2 but was under the impression that the anchors would be near a small tree and consist of three carrots so I took a hard right and traversed across the slab to the offwidth and slim tree on Mazurka (I am very blind this happens all the time). Tree was way too skinny to belay off so climbed up to a higher tree. This produced a massive zig-zag line held together by terrible pro. Marco's write up is a great reference. |

Talked dave up from an afternoon at Villawood to a day outside, on the strict requirement that we have a super cruisy day on Darkside / silk rd.
At the carpark I specifically said "I have the 6, 5 and doubles of 4 to 1, so you'll need to bring everything below a 1 please". He accidentally mis-interpreted that to mean that I had nuts and only a single rack of .75-.1, and decided to bring a SINGLE rack of small cams and NO nuts, and left the rest of his gear in the car. We also forgot the tape gloves Rappelled into the crag. Started arguing over whether or not we were lost when it became apparent there was no chimney. After scrutinising many topos we realised we'd rappelled into samarkand by accident. dave was very unhappy. I was very unhappy we had not brought nuts. I weighted passively placed cams for the first time in my life. It was a very sloppy ascent by two friends who had not outdoor climbed since they last saw each other in Arapiles many months ago (i think). Our hands got wREckED. Great chit chat in the car ride home though. |

Climbed in the same style as the FA. Agree with Will’s comment for consistently 19. Hugh said he was happy to have the first rooflet to belay under as it was consistently drizzling bits of rock. At one point I did send down a fairly large chunk. And at another point Hugh pulled off a huuUUuge chunk and it exploded in a mushroom poof of powder
Also, prepare to battle small plants pretty much every few metres.
(!!!) a 70m rope JUST got me to the anchors with a few m to spare, so I don’t think the description is accurate. Probably don’t use a 60m that would really suck. |

19 | ★★ Call Out Culture - with Hugh Sutton | 95m | Sat 1st May 2021 | ||||
The plan was to lead this but we stuffed up the rappel, ended up next to some sport route, jugged back up and found the line when the sunlight had started to turn orange. Would’ve had enough time if we had done the approach in under 3 hours. But. At least it wasn’t 4.
Block of death was very “127 hours”-ish. Also served a minor inconvenience to have to chimney around. |
