Ascents of Clemency

An old school sandbag adventure climb that requires more head game and sketchy trad experience than it does muscle. Not for the faint hearted and not for those new to trad. Did pitch 1, 2 and 3.

Couldnt find the belay spot for first belay so set up belay on loose flake and rusty peg below pitch two crux. Sure we were not on the route after halfway house. Climbed 70 metres with 3 pieces of gear includes an unprotected 15m and 10m wall. Eventually made the sumit with a bit of simulclimbing bush bashing. all part of the adventure I suppose.

Climb 14 of 50. Terrifying. 2 stars eh? Is there such a thing as "starbagging". Never again.

This was an absolute mission, super wandering route, hard to follow and with little to no gear placements. Definitely got lost on this one and turned into an epic! We were on the right track at the summit when we endured the realm of a thousand cuts… the whole route was sketchy as, loose rock everywhere & horrible rope drag bashing through scrub patches. All in all an epic day out!

Climbing this felt like robbing a house with motion sensors with all the tip toeing around and backtracking . Been a while since i did that so it was refreshing to journey up this historic line with will. Couldnt really find gear good enough to setup 1st pitch belay on the ramp so ended up ramibling up to a little cave then downclimbing to the ramp as part of the second. Third pitch is unreal. If i was to do this again id take a second rope.. the drag was pretty real on all pitches. Really enjoyable experience problem solving the protection on the traverse and the 1st pitch. Requires patience but it gives the climb the adventurous vibe the sport multis lack. Will did a great job to get through all this (with a 20L hiking bag) and did well not to shit it hanging from my gear anchor. Great day out!!

What a day out! An absolute test of route finding and some less than stellar pro in places. Misplaced our anchor and had to downclimb to start the second pitch, whi h was certainly much harder than a 16 by any standard. The third pitch was absolutely stellar with some very frog-esque jammable sections and some off-widths that had me bending in ways I didn't know I could.

Pitches 1,2 and 3

Lead all pitches.

We started a bit too late and spent a bit of time to route find so didn't make it to Halfway House by our cutoff time. Rapped off of Halfway House but keen to give this another go and climb the whole thing.

Led first 3

Led all pitches. The climbing isnt hard but it's typically bold.

An adventure with plenty of spice, but really not as bad as I was expecting. The crux felt easier to me than the crux of Lancelot (originally graded 7 😂). Led all pitches, linked 5 & 6, and topped out for the old skool points. However, I really can’t recommend the last 3 pitches, which are really quite vegetated and somewhat loose. Pitch 3 is all time though!

Seconded the 2nd and 3rd pitch to gain access onto halfway house. Definitely was glad to not be leading, has some commiting moves at the grade.

A really enjoyable route with adequate pro the whole way up (for a confident climber). The third pitch is definitely the standout, but all the pitches were good (we linked 4 and 5 by going straight up near the end of the 4th).

Ahhh feels good to be back on Tibro trad! Way less runout than I was expecting, but the gear was shoddy at times. Loved/hated the "tricky step-left" on p1. So hard to leave that mega-awesome-newhome-glory jug. Some nice climbing through the 2nd pitch and particularly the 3rd pitch corner! Better gear here than I was expecting, also. Awesome fun! Cheers for the day Ryan.

Got lost on way up, Climbing SEQ book has it as mixed sport/trad. Ended up bailing off a small steel screwgate on what I think was the third bolt of Divergence.

Lead the first three pitches with Phil, so I could see for next time where it goes and where the remaining pitches go. The third pitch is fecking awesome! Not a climb for grade 16 climbers! Should be taken very serious.

scary old classic - typical Tibro

pitch 1 second, pitch 2 onsight, pitch 3 second. pitches 4 and 5 not done.
