Ascents by Ben Dickson having Distinct route

Fun, bit harder more committing than the LHV

Good. Top felt pretty high (probably partially due to the trees branches getting in the way)

So-so

With lie-down start from lowest jug this.. still didn't feel remotely close to V4. No harder than the traverse, possibly actually a little easier as you can start in the right position, Quite a nice climb given the diminutive size of the boulder

Fun to hear of the struggles, less fun to climb. Straight forward, just single move climb with bunched start

Nice low mantley climb

First climb/warmup

Fun. Some passer-by spectators.

Flashed despite the start hold in the crack snapping off while pulling on.. Start feet are still a bit dubious but otherwise the rock seems fairly solid now. Bit contrived feeling not using the left-arete as most of the difficulty comes from contorting around the ledges to the right

Good from sit-start also

Start hold of this was extremely loose and now gone - this can still be climbed much the same (there's a good start hold just below), but the dyno eliminate is likely a fair bit harder

Nice enough

Think this is the climb which follows the wide right-leading crack

Fairly straight forward except for what turned out to be a misplaced pad and having to call over a sunbathing-spotter

Nice looking line and climbs well, one of the nicer climbs here. First move from sit-start was good

Quite nice traverse, the moves around the corner were fun. Also fun the opposite way, and can top-out as for LLTK

Good climb, although wouldn't make for a good fall

Felt harder than Freddy J - holds below the lip aren't great, and the lip is pretty slopey

In approach shoes. An alright climb, nothing too remarkable. First attempt foiled by grass interfering with lower footers.

Messed up the awkward sit start, so done on second attempt. Stairway to Heaven was vastly nicer climb

Err, took more attempts than the V4..

This is really fun as an eliminate, using only the main crack for feet/holds - climbs as really balancey arete. Also mostly doable as pure jamming line, but not so fun

On first attempt, but possibly went a bit of route at top - went slightly left on onto ledge instead of directly as the description implies, but wasn't going to try it again.. Not a great climb... Crack had accumulated a bunch of dirt/leaf debris. Several chunks of rock came off while climbing, and a few of the handjamps were against what felt pretty loose rock. Might be okay with a bit more cleaning, but there's more interesting stuff nearby.

A large chunk of the jug hold was very wobbly and broke off. Don't think the grade changes as the hold is still good, just maybe a tiny bit harder without the jug being positive as a sidepull, but still felt V1. An okay climb, probably one of the nicer of the three

Good. Did this previously but don't recall the date

Good climb, with a few nice variants possible (Crow, or topping out further to the very left)

Nice enough climb, avoids most of the cave's dankness being on the lip, although the holds accumulate a bit of mud after heavy rain

Nice easy dyno, also did as static with intermediate crimp

I'm assuming this is a stand start, as the sit seems significantly harder than a V1 (only a slopey RH sidepull and poor cramped feet)

This felt far more committing than I recall it from last time - rock is pretty friable, and crux was last move to the top, standing on almost nothing, popping from a not-great crimp. It's possible a hold has come of at about 3/4 height, as there is a clear patch of rock there. Nicer of the three slab lines here, just shame the rock quality is slightly sketchy

Topped out and surprised a family who were out for an afternoon walk, mother with a can of Jack and Coke in one hand, cigarette in the other.

Awkward climb.. and not in a good way. Not sure if the weird separate-looking-block-which-is-actually-attached footer at the start was supposed to be in, but seemed rough for V1 without it

Passing through on short trip to Innes National Park, determined to climb something given the confusing lack of even a single recorded climb on the entire peninsula. Some of the stuff on Penguin Point beach looked interesting but the rock is horribly sharp - so was pleased to find the rock on the eastern corner has been smoothed out by the waves. This climb was a really fun easy semi-roof, fun, marred only by a slightly premature end as the rock becomes a bit crap/sharp (and anything resembling a top out looked horrendous, especially with no pad). Didn't have time to look closely at the boulders along the rest of the eastern beach, and the tide was kind of high - definitely potentially for a good few more routes.

Good holds but required quite a bit of tension to hold them. First climb of the day, wasn't warmed up so might be overgraded?

Good, and grade seems about right I think

Rock still felt faintly wet as hadn't gotten much sun, which made the top feel pretty.. exciting (although I had missed a good hold in the crack higher which would have make things a bit more secure). Can be climbed in a lot of different ways

Looked like a good warmup, slightly harder than it looked.

Brief stop as we were passing by. On previous visits have tried this and always struggled moving into the poor right side-pull. Worked out better beta this time which made is feel fairly easy (wide left foot and sort of drop-knee into the poor hold, move feet around, then left hand into the good diagonal slot). Did on second attempt today, after hand greased of the sidepull. Finish is a bit anticlimatic - would be better to head up Moth House instead, which would also avoid the deteriorating rock

Lower part might be easier facing the other way, but would probably make the top-half sketchy. Not sure about grade, but felt about V1'ish, but potentially V0?

Much nicer movement than Nae Driech, particularly in the transition, plus a nicer top-out. However, while the holds used all seem reasonably solid, so did the other ones that broke of with some light brushing. Fall is good providing you can pad the gap between this face and the boulder at the bottom (a Mad Rock R3 squishes perfectly in providing a good flat landing)

Starting mantle is quite fun, rest is a bit discontinuous and mossy

Quite nice climb. Rock might need a tiny bit of cleaning, as one of the starting jugs looks a bit questionable (but there's a solid hold right-next to it)

One move mantely thing

Perfectly nice climb, just nothing too special when compared to all the other climbs around here!

Perfectly located boulder. I climbed up, chatted to a nice old couple in distance who were exploring the rocks around the summit, then afterwards realised I didn't look at all how to get down.. Could have potentially climbed the lower-angle side but there's a 2m steep section at the bottom, so seemed safest to downclimb the way I came, although the crux is probably at the top which made this slightly tricky

Fun. Doable without losing the right footer but still very dynamic.

A drop knee makes the start fell quite easy. Feels about same grade as as Frog Attack

First few moves were harder than expected, but really nice climb. Managed on second attempt after messing up move to last of the small lower holds - just as it was getting too hot to climb (probably mid 30's by 11:30am), and I had run out of water.

Lots of water seeping on lower half of wall. Thought I could climb around it, but several of the dry footers were large loose blocks - stemmed back onto the tree, tried a higher hand hold and it too was loose, so, nope. Didn't feel any harder than TNHL

Seems exceptionally hard for grade, felt like we were missing something (Val did it by moving from start hold to 2-finger pocket with poor feet, pull up and bump to large crimp? Rest of climb was easy from there). The cave on the boulders above this is really cool
