Climbed this at night to avoid the sun, which was quite good other than the route finding being a bit harder. Really had to fight hard to send terminant corner at the end, even on second.

Insanely good day out! Arrived to find the bottom gate closed, which added an extra 6 km of hiking to our trip but helped burn off those Christmas calories. Crashed about at the top looking for rings and eventually rapped down what turned out to be Nothing Left. First two pitches were immense. Can't be many climbs where you get to jam, layback, bridge and then slab all in the first 40 m! Made a minor error overkeenly reading the topo description and thought I had to climb the thin crack splitting the slab to reach the layback section. Made for a nice bonus pitch coming back down and I'd say is similarish in difficulty. The traverse on P3 was epic and made sure Jason's first multi will be remembered. Pitch 4 is not to be underestimated... The diagonal rightwards crossing of the break is tricky to get on and off, and I couldn't figure out any way to protect it against a ledge fall. In hindsight I'd recommend putting something in on the left before starting out, even though it feels way off line, but I might have missed something. After that it's miles of bush-bashing that had me wondering what was going on, but then I saw P5 and everything made sense! P5 is brilliant - more on that below. The whole thing was very much worth the trek, but in retrospect I'd hesitate taking a beginner up it again, even if they are strong like Jason.

Felt harder than 15 but maybe because I haven't climbed here before. And out of practise.. A few hesitations on p3 before I committed and pulled through. P5 corner was a mission even as a second.

First time climbing in Canberra!! Dylan led the whole climb and went up a super skinny crack - hard but a good challenge! The run out slab was scary - one day ill lead it but for now was very happy just to be on top rope haha

Very nice slabbing and a bit of nice crack climbing due to the bottom pitch extension, well worth it! On the first pitch I went direct up the thin crack and was hoping I didn't sandbag erin as I was climbing hahaha she killed it! 3rd pitch is run out slab but thats why we love it! very nice movement on basically jug foot ledges. Good to come back and finish the route after me and anthony got rained out about 9 months ago! Finished up terminant corner

	15	★★★ Determinant (extended) - with Mike Burrows 1 Trad lead by Hamish Reid Gaining the crack involves some shrub cuddling! 2 Trad lead by Hamish Reid Yay found this way easier this time! Used some better foot beta to walk up the starting crack. 3 Trad lead by Hamish Reid Damn this is cool, I love it. So fun to lead. Mike nailed the follow too. 4 Trad lead by Hamish Reid The second big block with the rounded horn is wobbly. Very spooky. Traverse is chill and then I ran it out up the slab. Quite some drag after doing the bushy ramp. 5 Trad lead by Hamish Reid Put this all together in one pitch this time which was better, but the drag was heinous over the lip to the anchor.

Wonderful day out taking Mike up this classic, my second ascent of it in about a week! Completed in better style, no rests, and better beta and rope management.

I led p1 and Ash led p2. We were feeling pretty confident but at p3 we both gave it a good attempt but couldnt figure out the move, I think we were staying too high whilst reading other comments many stayed lower on the slab. Either way would have been a really scary run out with a potential ugly fall. We sadly decided to bail. Left feeling very disappointed with myself for not giving it a good go and humbled by this place. Will be back!

	15	★★★ Determinant (extended) - with Jack Seawright, Yim 1 Second lead by Jack Seawright 2 Second lead by Jack Seawright 3 Second lead by Jack Seawright Incredibly exposed and fun slab traversing with precise footwork. Jack did well to lead it and protect it. I was really pleased to climb this pitch clean on second. 4 Trad lead by Faith Meckley Very chuffed with this lead. Strong and scary start pulling on the backside of a big block. Was happy to be able to sling a tree before heading out across a traverse with no protection. Had to sit there on a ledge and contemplate my life choices for a bit before committing to the last couple of moves on the traverse and stepping across a gap to an easier section where I was finally able to place more pro. Big comfy run-out at the end of the pitch to the best, shaded, sit-down tree belay you could ever ask for. 5 Second lead by Yim I'm sure people who enjoy crack climbing would love this pitch. I screamed and clawed my way through it. The corner was its only redeeming quality for me. Really interesting finish with some fairly committing bits, glad I wasn't leading!	Mixed trad 160m, 1		Faith Meckley
Keep a keen eye out for loose rocks on the scrambly sections. Would be very easy to accidentally kick one onto a lower member of your party. One hell of an adventure for sure! Not sure if I'll ever give it a second go, but very happy to have tried it once with a couple of supportive and strong leaders. Thank you Jack Seawright and Yim!

Nice climb in a 3 person faff train. Me, yim and faith. Some simuling due to 50m pitches 3 peeps and 1 70m rope. Traverse pitch was memorable. Faith toughing it out to top her p4 lead aswell. Burgers and beer at fyshwick afterwards. Approach trail down the middle of booroomba wasnt the funnest.

Got up to pitch 2 and got smashed by the only rain cloud within a 5000km radius! Pretty grim sitting there in a soaking wet puffy trying to setup raps to get down to the ground. 5km walk back to camp after this. Was surprised to see another crew out there, and lining up for the same climb

Pretty nice for the grade, some sections of proper hand jams and good pro. Crux traverse could used a carrot on the slab but it’s fine if you watch your steps

Awesome and full value at the grade. Missed out on most of the final corner as i went off route on pitch four and ended up running out of rope and had to build an interim belay before joining the crack in the top third. This gained questing and adventure points but lost actual good climbing points. Very reminiscent of J Tree scary slabs.

This time took my partner up this, great climb. Technically I have not climbed this exact route. I have been using this climb to record my accents of the original Determinant climb but with a Terminant Corner finish.

A bit of wandering to find our way, ended up on the first pitches of The Stringer and on the traverse of Indecision to find the rap station at the start of the 4th pitch. Amazing last pitch (Terminant Corner)

Amazing line, super varied climbing across some brilliant rock. Accidentally missed P1+2 while walking to the start, found ourselves at the P3 traverse and decided to go for it from there. Quality runout from James, putting a few micro-cams into the sus flake mid-traverse. We should have read thecrag notes instead of the old guidebook! Terminant corner finish is classic, so much fun.

Surely this deserves three stars? Really adventurous. Placed a few bomber micro cams for p3 up near the chossy flake. Rope drag was okay on last pitch, mainly due to lack of gear left.

Great climb, 3rd pitch is run out with a possible ledge fall at the crux. The booroomba gods should add a bolt to this slab, it would instantly be safe and there is already bolts on other pitches where there was less runout.
