Lovely pleasant day out. Got back to the ground just as the rain started. Plenty of bolts where they're needed, gear where there aren't bolts. Airy in places, just enough to make it engaging but still safe. Went easier than I had in my head - I guess thinking of it as a trad 21 is pretty intimidating, but it's more like a cruisy trad 18 with a 21 sport pitch. Pitch 6 is awesome. Highly recommend.

Quick climb before running to the airport. It had me at my limit in the crux, very committing and thin. P2 would have been very committing on lead, with no idea what comes next, but was all there. Ropes got stuck on the way down and couldn't afford the time to go up and free them.

This climb delivered.

Travelled from Brisbane for the weekend to get on this. Much preparation and rehearsal paid off, as the ropework and Tyroleans gave us no difficulty whatsoever.

One guide indicates that the crux pitch is the swim. I will vehemently disagree with that. P1 was nails at 18. Committing, insecure and strenuous, it was dripping wet at the bottom. Good gear the whole way up if you can place it. Heady stepping around the roof.

The swim was disappointingly uneventful. Waited for a set to finish, jumped in on the back of a wave and gunned it. Grabbed the kelp before the next wave came in, then just delicately up the wet rock to the anchor. Didn't get scared enough the first time around so jumped back in.

P2 was beautiful, gorgeous jams.

P3 had me cursing the inbred Tasmanian guidebook authors who couldn't tell the difference between a grade 16 squeeze chimney and a grade 19+ offwidth. That was darned scary, shuffling my 6 up the whole way with no other gear anywhere it would keep me off the deck. Spent the whole time gazing longingly through the offwidth at the lovely corner on the other side. When Angie followed she simply popped through the very bottom of the squeeze where it's wider and climbed the opposite side, at which point I realised my vitriol was misplaced.

P4 had a few engaging moments and was good fun.

Used the upper (P3) anchors for the return Tyrolean as we had thoroughly rehearsed this, and rapping further down just to jug back uphill seemed like entirely too much hard work. Deserves all its stars.

Big day out. Was awesome until we got off route, then it got scary and awesome. Pro tip: don’t try to follow the P5 instructions when you’re doing P6. Traversing back over wasn’t a good option and we were close to the top so blasted straightish up through the harder climbing and choss and lack of gear. Definitely added a few grades and a whole lot of spice to P6 and P7. Had 15 extenders and wanted all of them.

University of adventure climbing - Transcript:

Pitch 1, Intro to super slabs 101 - Pass. Pleasant, slightly runout and a few spicy moves.

Pitch 2, Revision of Frog techniques 102 - Cruised it. Maybe technically harder than P1, definitely more sustained, but it eats gear and has plenty of good jams. Be prepared to zig zag a little.

Pitch 3, Rope and Anchor management 301 - Pass. Some faff involved in pulling one of the two ropes and leaving the other in the anchor initially, mild tangles and a rope stuck down below, but nothing too costly. Can you onsight a rappel?

Pitch 4, The Phenomena of Traversing (Majors) - Angie nailed it. Possibly went a little high but got through very nicely.

Pitch 5, Choss Adventures 301 - Pass. Halfway up the pitch, the belay rope got caught way below the belay, necessitating a mid pitch anchor, while Angie rapped down below the belay to unstick the ropes. Lots of time lost. Then finished the pitch. Lost my headspace here, between gusting wind, a poor stance while I waited, and running it out trying to conserve runners, and save gear for the belay, then struggling to find a good belay point. Got there in the end.

Pitch 6, Intro to Nav 201, aka ‘where would you go if you were wearing volleys’ - Fail. Angie channeled her inner sport climber and went straight up through the hard stuff. I also failed to tell her, assuming she knew where she was going and didn’t need her belayer yelling ‘go left’ from the comfort of the anchor.

Pitch 7, Extra Choss Adventures 302 - Skipped this module for Thrill Zones, Route Recovery and Plan B’s 303. My headspace still hadn’t recovered so Angie took this pitch. And wow she nailed it! Held it together through hard moves, very sparse gear and loads of choss as she blasted straight up through to the top slabs.

Pitch 8, Graduation Day - Felt pretty good to run up those slabs to the summit. Made it up (and back down) alive so I’ll call that a win.

Oh. My. Wow.

Wasn't feeling very strong this trip, so mostly stuck to the easier climbs, and explored the place for 'next time'. Bashed our way up to Cow Tracks and figured out where things were. At the bottom of this, I thought it looked cool, and like it might have decent gear, a belief backed up by the description. Decided to have a crack, fully prepared for an aid session if I chickened out.

At the beginning, my biggest concern was fending off all the spiders that have made that corner system their home. Reasonably good gear and good climbing as long as you are careful about the odd loose block down low. By halfway up the first pitch, it was telling that I was really no longer aware of the spiders; this was not because there was any change in their numbers, but rather because I was now otherwise focussed. The technical crux was here, just before the traverse, in avoiding the loose rock. You don't need to use the loose stuff, and there is great gear, you just need to be careful.

I then embarked on the traverse. The only thing that kept me going was the description. 'It's 18. It's 18. Good holds. It's 18'. There was gear, but definitely not an overabundance of it. There would be no aiding through this. I spent an age there on the jugs, breathing deep, trying to calm myself enough. I peeked around the corner; no gear there. How to retreat? I couldn't undo those moves. My retreat option was to take the king swing; and I was not willing. 'Good holds'. Dammit; Trust the description and go! Up! Good holds. Thank heavens! Plug in some gear!

Stepping around the arete and gaining the roof was technical and fun, and with bomber gear right beside you this was far less intimidating than it might appear. Or else I was just all out of fear for the day? Suggest setting the belay low so you aren't dragging the rope around the roof or into the crack.

The second pitch was exactly as described - harder than it looks, however it takes excellent gear and doesn't have the intimidation factor of the first pitch - merely excellent climbing.

I had to take a star off for the patches of crummy rock on the way up the corner. So I only gave it 3. This is the most awesome and memorable climb I've ever done.

If you were to follow the rule of giving a climb the lowest number you can while keeping a straight face, I think a sadist could give this 16. The movement is not difficult, just scary. It really deserves the 18 for commitment though.

Airy. Scary. Spectacular. Incredible. Improbable. Shockingly, all there. This is what Cania is about. This route is the Cherry Bomb!

Mad props to the FA.

Oh. And it ate my half rope. Be careful of the crack when lowering your ropes. RIP orange halfie. Still worth it.

Trad 40m Good
The chimney starting the Alpine route was deathly slippery due to wet lichen from rain the previous day, so diverted left onto this. With nothing more than a couple of prusiks and two slings for a rack this was somewhat of an engaging experience. Neither the carrot bolt (slung with a slip knot, there wasn’t enough space for a clove) nor either of the two prusik barrel knots I had jammed in the crack slightly above and below it were going to keep me off the ledge 10m below if I slipped. The few crimps were not especially positive and gave a distinct sense of impermanence, and what jams there were were shallow and flaring.

Oh, and I was in my TX4s. Slab is life?

It’s a nice climb! Just bring your rack

 
10 5 Alpine Route Trad 380m Good
Some mug who shall not be named left his rack and draws at home thinking they were in his pack. As a result, climbing The Martian became non viable and an alternative route was selected. The Alpine Route was selected as a soloable option that looked like fun.

Given that it was only a 10, ie. a bushwalk, Mug elected not to bother with his climbing shoes, or his chalkbag, and to do the route in approach shoes for comfort. As the one responsible for said predicament, Mug also had to lead.

Mug started up the Alpine Route having stolen all the available prusiks, slings and lockers from the harnesses of his compatriots, but the wet lichen from the previous days rain made the first pitch chimney slippery death, and he diverted left onto Break Of Noon for the first pitch as an easier safer option. This formed the most memorable part of the day (see above).

After reaching the anchors of Break Of Noon, serious consideration was given to retreat, but Mug elected to explore in the direction of the pink tape, and found the rest of the route to be, as described, a pleasant, soloable, bushwalk, maybe grade 2. The pink tape was helpful in reassuring a frayed confidence, but the path was generally clear enough to be navigated without it.

All in all, a pleasant day out.

Knocked this off my bucket list! Glad I’ve done it, it was a wicked adventure, but I never intend to do it again. Incredible experience but a terrible climb.

The bottom is not as tight as it looks, don’t be put off by the size. It’ll never host a party, but 2 people fit fine.

Super slippery, I fell multiple times in the lower squeeze but re-wedged myself each time before flattening my belayer (or weighting any gear). Some cool 3 dimensional movement in places.

Gear beta: Use passive gear, cams just aren’t secure in the general dirtiness of the rock. The layer of soft calcite over everything also makes any cams pretty suspect. I thought the available pro was adequate.

Standing on the rope right in the finishing/crux moves gave it extra spice.

Great gear in the first half of pitch 1 to sucker you into the route, then sweet diddly in the top half. Second pitch was good. P2 trends left slightly. Fun route, but be solid at the grade/style before you try it. Can rap on a 60m rope.
