Ascents in World by Match having trad-cpr or ascent-date

TRS couldn't get the dyno or the mantle as the rope protraxtion wouldn't let me get super close to the wall but linked from there to the top.

Just your normal Newnes smash and grab. with rock raining down on the FA

1 attempt to second a filthy Queenslander on what was meant to be my rest day. 2nd shot on the leads. short, however, great crack movements I even managed to do a ring lock at one of the tricky sections.

a last minute adventure.

and a brilliant one keen to get back for the full tick.

Ange bloody killed it going for her first attempts.

we didn't do the first and last pitch 25 2 sits 23 1 sit 22 clean 21 clean

so much fun and way better than aiding it haha

This is a very fun route! The gear is good, the climbing on the upper two pitches is excellent if you are a corner conisuer.

Alec's first multipitch!

Pitch 1: and 2 are your standard mountains horizontal face trad. Onsite.

Pitch 3: I guess after the rain this week there was 5 key holds on the Crux of this pitch that were wet. Still climbable you just have to do a harder sequence. The crux is superfun on this pitch!

Fell off on the onsite. Fell off second shot due to the dampness Lowered to the base of the crux and went to the top so overlaping 1 sit.

Pitch 4: Another wet hold 😞 Second shot placing This was a rad corner pitch!

This route is still climbable even if the holds are damp!

Stoked to get the 24 pitch done on my 6th pitch of the day 🙌

I've always seen this wild looking system of rock and wanted to try it. Rain protected aswell.

Another scenario where Frothy suggests an obscure non repeated route, and I pay it off, then a month later he suggests it again I'm half interested. Then the 3rd time I take the bait. aha

Fun day out with Paul and Jared. my gri gri decided to stop locking for 200m abseil in.....

P1 was a bit choss than a 10m long traverse over a precarious washing machine-sized boulder.

P2 had some great climbing but was heady on 2nd for sure.

P3 Don't fuck up getting to the first bolt

P4 short but good movements, the cam at the crux blocks where your hand wants to go.

P5 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts

P6 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts to a vertical garden boulder crux.

Bolts: Vintage rusty bash-in carrots placed at an angle to instil confidence that the rust will hold you

Psych: high except for Jared who was not a fan of the jumaring options.

Rock quality: ehh

My first Katoomba cliffs route.

Second shot! A little powerful route with some killer pockets!

I had the first bolt cliped which was 5m up. (I know it's a short climb however the gear below was total choss and I didn't want to visit Davey Jones.)

This is my favourite 23 in the mtns by a mile! and solid at the grade.

I took a #1,2,3 that's all that is required.

X3 top rope laps. Then it went down first shot on lead.

First 24 on gear!

This is perfect example of why the Blue Mountains Climbing is so special! It's not just the rock or how hard the moves are.

It's about the stunning landscape, the utterly ludicrous exposure and somehow ending up in the thick of it with good friends. 😀

Great to tick this tower of the list only pitch two of the free route.

Mike too a huge whipper on the second pitch

look not an araps classic however for a warm up for have a good flight it is a worthy contender

One move off crimps . Traverse over the the anchors of CU3 or do a Monty and climb to the top of the clip then down climb ahahah

Cleaned my gear off. This line is stunning however I need to work on a few things before getting back in it.

Moss then Choss is the best way to describe this adventure. we used double 60ms and a double rack to 0.75 with triples of #1 #2 #3 with x1 #4.

The first 3 pitches were your standard dirty cracks which were wet for us

The grade 20 Pitch is not one where you want to blow the crux and you will more than likely deck. (select the tallest member of your party for this pitch so they can throw in a nut to protect the crux.

The turtle beach pitch was seaside getaway I was hoping for! which lead to Plastic Beach (belay of P6).

Where Ange backed off the last pitch and I didn't want to have a go due to the terrifying nature of the pitch.

So we got Stubbsy and Sean to drop us a rope.

As I recovered our gear from the pitch this morning I am incredibly happy with our choice.

Raging waters on the tote today supper awesome climbing.

Regarding the missing hanger I have added a bolt plate and a tightened nut. This is a temporary fix

If the next people on the tote bring a 10mm hanger and nut to swap it out that would be great!

Easier than Bam Bam IMO

I found this brutal. I had to do a full euro drop knee at the crux. besides all that awesome steep crack climbing. second shot.

Great rock, gear and position!

Stoked to onsite this!

Back in the mtns with a project

Linked all the easy sections now just the 3 cruxes to go.

I have left my gear on the route!

Last climb of the trip super sold and inspiring!

only other route I did at the creek really good! I will be back

Brutal if you are over 6ft

So much quality climbing!! Will be back shortly for more 😍

TRS, Great climbing! I will be back for this!

multiple shots getting alot closer! firm at 26!

two laps soooo out there!

(Working)

This route was our team's most stylish ascent of the first 6th months of 2023. It conveys pure adventure so close to home.

2.5 stars cool moves, bomber gear and a sweet crux. Ignore the guide book and get on it!

Rpt, According to the crag, I have climbed 95 22's and I am certain this route is not Grade 21.

Though it is one of the best at either grade!

Nails at the grade! nearly came off a bunch

Really cool rock for most of the way. two lil cruxes but nothing diabolical worth the walk up the hill!

Rest day support mission, We were originally going to climb out at Raid and EMAHD area however a grumpy truckiethwarted that plan.

So car to car left at 11:30 back by 6pm

I had a few sits on the 25, 1 sit on the 23 and the rest clean seconding.

Great work Ange!

A quick lap checking out the moves. uber fun I will be back for this! Also Jay you still owe me an ice cream for the belay tick of your first 25!

Whatever the grade, this is what a bluies crack wishes it could be. Excellent.

This is shit loads better than Entertainer. It follows a more natural line, Has better gear and flow! Swap the stars!

work

First shot involed mining through the dead trees at the top. There is no suitable anchor at the top besides trees well back. (maybe consider lower offs as this route is proper classic).

Second shot involved me pulling the crux then rather than using a leading heel hook I chose to use a leading sheniqua ( my butt) to shuffle onto the ledge. Turns out that lichen is quite slippery and I started sliding off upside down to my horror.

Managed to recover though ahaha

Pew pew new routin!

Thanks Ingvar for the gift!

Second day out here managed to break a cam on flaring placement also got the belay tick for the FFA.

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder party!

What a line tough corner climbing that leads to good recovery stances. two moves rest two moves rest the q full sick roof

First shot of the day.

Why haven't I led this before?

I got a bomber fist jam too!

One of the best 19s in the mtns just great face/vague arete climbing the whole way.

The only downside is that the low off works for sport climbing folk however it could be improved.

On it and give it no stars! going to be tricky if your short
