★★★ Talk is Cheap
![]() | 220m, 99 | Mount Brown Main Face | ★★★ Mega Classic | Sun 25th Feb 2024 | |||
A full value adventure, with big time exposure, hero moves, roof pulling, corner shimmying (wishing I'd brought my TCs as a less down turned shoe tbh) and a generous sprinkling of classy moves on every pitch. The final 21 pitch felt solid (and pumpy) for the grade. Was pretty gripped for the first couple of pitches near the ocean. Fantastic day, cheers Mitch, and Garry and Simon for equipping.

★★★ Deliverance
![]() | 45m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Mega Classic | Wed 8th May 2024 | |||
I chose to do the Devil's Deliverance option- first half of Devil's Dihedral up to the small stance at the bush, then step right into the corner of Deliverance and continue from there. So although not the original line, it's a much more enjoyable and 3 star option! Awesome gear all the way and an exciting finish. We cleaned out the pin scars in the lower section of the original on the way down, unearthing a large army of ants and muck. Pretty happy to have avoided all that.

Awesome route. Did a silly and put myself in a precarious position trying to get the second piece in, with the crowds gathering to watch me deck. Much to their disappointment, I sagged onto my hurriedly placed nut, lowered to the ground, then went up again with a micro cam to add to it, and then launched up to victory. Disappointed I couldn't make it an onsight, but so it goes. Packs a sweet punch for a short route.

Very well protected, airy and superb climbing. Felt easy for the grade, perhaps there is an easier and a harder way to do it, but it would feel strange doing a slightly harder move where an easier one would suffice. I didn't know there was a lower off rap station, I didn't see that before! Means only a 60m rope would be needed to rap the face rather than going down Linda chimney

I was thinking this was going to be overhyped, but nope, it was awesome all the way. A micro cam when traversing around the arete made things feel more sane. Hollow and loose flakes abound but very thoughtful and interesting climbing the whole way. Done as one pitch, which feels like the best way to do it.

Led all 3 pitches. I climbed this back in 2020 as well but didn't log it. All 3 pitches have something to offer, P1 is great to warm up for the main dishes of P2 and P3. It was nice having 3 x 0.4, doubles to 2, didn't use the nuts

Superb face climbing and movement. RP's were very handy to have (thanks to Jen for letting me borrow them). Felt like being back at Araps. She ain't a 21 though, the guidebook has this at grade 20, which feels more right. Even then it's quite a bit easier than Devils and piranha. Either way it's a mega classic that I wanted to have another lap on afterwards

Spent quite a while hanging on my arms feeling hungover and sorry for myself trying to summon the courage to commit to the first few moves off the deck above Sam's ball nut, but once I got to the start of the chimney the first climb of the day nerves (and upset stomach) disappeared and it was a fairly cruisey yet thought-provoking ride up to the top. The micro cams were handy! Climbed and rapped on a single 70m no problems. Excellent!

Well that was awesome. Struggled a little initially trying to extricate myself from the chimney in P1 (no joke, I couldn't push my biceps up and out of one part, "I'm too massive for this pitch!"). The money pitch 2 was a tad frightening in the off-width, and being 6'3" my head was basically buried in my crotch for the traverse so the only exposure I got was in my groin. P3 was a bit burly. Awesome climbing
