What a day! Slept under the stars at the lookout the night before. Rapping at 6:15. Route finding all went well. Didn't feel like we were slow, but must have been as we didn't get back to the packs at the top of the rap gully till about 10:15. Trudged back to the car because of forecast rain. Said rain did arrive, so ended up driving back to Hobart as well. Mega day!
Stegasaurus was nowhere near 55m the way we did it. Maybe because we skirted around a couple of pillars to find the "squeeze through to the big spike" bit. Worked well. Chimneys were ok and protectable with slings. Especially if you're tall enough to reach the first spike before comitting to the step across. Little Jaycar walky talkies were super helpful. No problems with comms all day. |

Really good pitch in a great position. Found it on point for the grade, and good pro. Probably felt a little harder due to backpack etc. Initial split is way bigger than fist sized, but can be protected with small cams on the left face. I used a full double rack on this pitch, but am a wus.

Great fun! The tree down low could do with a little prune, but the climbing sneaks around it well. Two large movable blocks just before the top out on the second pitch. One is sitting on the last chockstone in the chimney, the other is to the right. Big tall thing you want to bridge off. Be wary. Hard to not use either of them.

First pitch is certainly spooky stepping around the arete straight into steepness. I lead the second. Classic pipes steep mixed bag route up a broken crack system. Jugs, crimps, flared jams, good jams, sequencey feet. Gave it a red hot go, but a foot popped unexpectedly and whipped onto a black totem. Seems to always be the black! From there on it was anything goes as the rain was starting and my arms were pulped.

Didn’t have a good time on this today. Not sure if I’ve changed or the climb has since last time I did it. The large block down low that you want to stand on is very unsettling and vibrates/bounces with obvious detachment on a couple of sides. Can’t remember if this is new. Crag was crowded today so didn’t want to try too hard to remove it. Whatever the case, I struggled to pull the moves above this as well which I thought were ok last time.
