Ascents in Blue Mountains by Ian.Grabowski

One brief hang while working out route.

I had to WORK for this. That start...and then the roof...really good route.

Such a cool route for beginners. Super fun.

Fun route.

Rpt lead clean.

F-solo to set up top rope for my girlfriend's first outdoor climb.

Lead to set up for beginner to top rope.

Lead to set up for beginner to top rope.

Rpt. Up lead, down lead to retrieve all previous leader's gear.

Climbing with 1st timer. Perfect beginner route. Anchor bolts are way back from the edge.

A little late night wine-happy fun.

Climbing with 1st timer. Perfect beginner route Bolts are way back from the edge so best to take a fair bit of webbing or a few long slings (240s).

Went too high before crimp rail smeary traverse towards end and fell.

Hard traverse, nice middle section, easy top. Nice route actually after that initial traverse!

Rpt. Surprised to get this clean in the state I was in. Better than I remembered - really quite a cool route.

Awesome route. It's all there..just need to piece it together. Spicy finish as well lol.

2nd burn.

A very hungover affair. A fall from last hold of the crux, a hang and then clean to top.

Feel like I'm missing something through 4th - 5th bolt.

Led P2+4. Snappy rock makes for engaging climbing with surprisingly good moves - really enjoyable, especially p4...all way better than it looks. Bolt ladder is the crux.

Gets classic status because you'll never climb anything like it again. P1 is the money. P3 I went for a sandy nothing instead of the right hold early on. 2nd shot the treat. I think you could easily take a grade of each pitch in terms of the actual climbing difficulty...it's just the position that makes it feel harder.

Wow, what a route. Hard to get a gauge on difficulty of P1 as seconded with the backpack but dogged the hell out of it and pulled a draw or two. The moves looked and felt more like a 23 to me.

I took even leads and onsited all. Seconded all odds clean. Pitches 2, 6, 7 and 8 were INCREDIBLE. You shouldn't skip the last pitch either...was fun climbing if you ignore the bad rock quality!

Awesome new addition to the pass. I'd personally say it's better than BBB, up there with HC. Some incredible, memorable pitches and a brilliant day out. On sighted evens and clean seconded the odds. Pack made the first few 2nds a bit stiff! Note to future climbers: The first few pitches had some chain link bolts and my clean nose Wild Country Helium biners didn't fit through them. Lucky we had some extenders and so threaded the slings through, otherwise we would have been pretty disappointed!

Rpt clean. Climbed as a 3 - 6.5hrs car to car. Led pitches 3 + 7. Sun on wall at 1330.

Climbed in a 3. 7 hours car to car. Only lead pitches 2 and 8 as the others were once in a lifetime visitors so I gave them the pleasure of the good pitches.

Nice little route on Pierces. Fun climbing and great cruxes on pitches one, two and four. P4 is pretty stiff for 18! Linked it with the fantastic Mirror ball (21) above to finish with a bang. Amazing.

Incredible. Some brilliant cruxes littered throughout a sensational climb where the fun just keeeeps onnn gooiing. One of my favourites in the blueys.

The route I always gawped at in my very first guidebook 6 yrs ago - the position, the line, the grade etc. Today I got to climb it..a climbing milestone for me. Probably more 22 moves than 23 but with a fierce wind, some shady rock and all that exposure it didn't feel that easy! Sooo cool.

Led P2. P1+3 clean. Wicked route...bags of character, cool stone and features. Soft for 23 we thought.

A really enjoyable, thought provoking, wandering line. Didn't use gear for the start which livened things up! Bold run out.

Awesome climb - One hang as I worked out the sequence for the crux.

On sighted the crux, clipped the 3rd and then peeled off the crimps before running home free!! Moron! Haha. Oh well.

Nice to finally come back to this. Cool low crux and nice climbing.

Loved this climb! Spent too long working out which way to go on top part and had myself a short hang to look.

Was the day of the dog for me. Didn't need the 5 second hang at the upper crux so disappointed with myself really!
