Ascents in Kangaroo Point by Troy McAndrew

Climbed rope solo few years back, great to get on lead. A little bit of a spicey one to start the day though. Climbing the variant and falling would definitely send you to the hospital.

Tried a few years back. Still pretty hard. That top sequence is no give away. Found a different method for the top though, keen for next tie in.

Been looking at this one for years! punted in the Exhilarant corner down low. Just couldn't find my feet. Solid lead by Lee Prescott

Tried this a few years ago on top rope solo so can't really claim the onsight. Really underrated in my opinion.

Thanks Mark for the belay. Cool to see some history about the routes here. Well worth doing, better than the original I think.

I remember it being super sandy and taking a huge whip on the runout a few years back.

A little contrived but if you stick to the face between the two pterodactyl starts it offers some cool moves. Would be pretty psycho if you didn't place the nut.

Another climb that would probably get done more with some anchors.

Good climb would definitely get climbed more with some rings and anchors. Another ring bolt near the fence so you're not rapping off one bolt would be ideal.

A little contived. New hardware is nice.

punted hard off the top probs the hardest of the 24's at KP I think.

Went up it to clean the rest of the draws. Not bad. some good jugs.

Pumped at the end. Always wondered about this thingo hidden in the bushes. Kinda cool little V2 boulder at the top. cleaned the holds on the way up and sent second shot. Anchors could use some new hardware.

Kinda worked out the bottom half but couldn't figure out the last move Oscar Bassi I need your wisdom.

Now I just gotta add BARFJ and Bufo 😅

Trying to figure out some new beta since the broken hold. Very close to figuring it out, I think I just need to try harder.

Apparently this is a thing. forgot some holds from Wages to Honed and punted

Figured out some new beta for the top with the broken hold

kinda figured out how the line goes. Going to be mega hard doing the barfj crux after bufo. Barfj feels way harder compared to a few years ago. couldn't actually figure out the top of honed too, looks like something may of broke as well. Maybe I just need to come back in the daylight haha

The top of this is so tricky

The scent of weed in the air and eshay's blasting Bollywood-esk techno as I was crimping my nails off was exactly what I need to get up this thing.

Good climb to warm up the fingers if you're trying Bufo

tied in 3 times. Had a few shots back in Jan, felt way better today with cooler temps. Maybe a morning session will do the trick.

Pulled the first moves first shot had a sit then figured out the rest of the climb. Then proceeded to punt 20 times on the redpoint shot.

Impromptu KP sesh. So much good fun getting back to KP. Really reminds you how to crimp proper hard and use your feet, bloody good time every time.

Followed by a impressive Flash from Brennan.

Made a few attempts. Couple of moves linked makes me feel better about this one. Need to do some 6 mm hangs I think.

Warm up. Was actually so fun coming back to KP and having to use my feet after all the cave climbing the last couple of months

Ran another lap so chris could try it on second and clean.

Wow this has rings now. A big step foward for climbing at KP. The carrot placements were a bit tricky.

This is the thinnest thing I have ever tried. Could work out some beta to pull on but couldn't link it to the next holds. Gonna need a beta spray down for this if I'm ever going to do Sinister Pathway.
