Enjoyable climbing, then you reach the crux where the real fun begins. I’m pretty sure grunting like an animal while pulling the roof helps to make a clean send hey Steve.

Looks easy but don’t be fooled. The traverse, can be tricky, was happy to get some gear placed once I reached the final crack.

Desperate start for a short arse! Couldn’t reach good edge and ended up pulling on a tiny two finger pocket to reach good holds. Sent on 3rd go.

20 Crack Two - with Stephen Gordon Trad 12m Good
First half of the climb has great rock and climbs well. The second half of the crack is fused lacking pro, so cut left onto face to finish. Rate first half as very good, the rest is average.

Mt Pilot Bakery Wall
21 Beechworth Bakery - with Chris Rule Trad 20m Classic
17 Wissywoo - with Chris Rule Trad 20m Good
First time climbing an off width crack, physically draining, need some tech tips. Overhang at the top climbs really well.

 
18 Iguana - with Chris Rule Trad 17m Good
Rough crack first few meters then gets better, tape helps. Poor rock / pro for 1-2m over RH traverse under bulge, yet on easier ground. Couple big cams would of been handy for last section, but only had one BD #3 so ran it out. Saves the best till last with a cool layback before moving into the off width to finish.

Sat 27th May 2017 - Beechworth Area
Mt Stanley Grendel Gully
18 Valkyrie - with Fraser Chadwick Trad 12m Very Good
Takes solid gear in crack just below crux. Hard section pulling into and through alcove, leading to some awesome jams.

 
17 Chariots Of Fire - with Fraser Chadwick Mixed trad 13m, 2 Very Good
Tricky sequence at start of climb with a slightly desperate finish. Recommend placing a sml/med cam to protect top-out.

 
16 Grendel - with Fraser Chadwick Trad 13m Good
Good lead by Fraser. It has some cool stemming and back-step moves.

 
Sun 30th Apr 2017 - Beechworth Area
Mt Pilot Yeddonba Wall
19 Room With A View - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. Trad 35m Good
Hard! Tough section at thin finger crack near top. Needs a good clean at crux to remove grass, dirt and a small dead tree that is just holding on.

 
16 The Tourist Route - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. Mixed trad 30m, 1 Very Good
Spicy! If lacking confidence/ability recommend stick clipping the first hanger, which is about 5m off the deck. All the fun is in the first 8m then eases off. Nice climb and worth a visit.

 
10 Yeddonba Wall - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. Mixed trad 40m, 2 Very Good
One of better climbs at Mt Pilot for beginners, offering easy access, quality rock and great views.

 
Sun 23rd Apr 2017 - Beechworth Area
Mt Pilot Lower Bakery Wall
20 The Knifeblade - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. Mixed trad 15m, 1 Average
Rock quality poor at base of climb, but improves at half way point. Many holds missing and a few more broke off during attempt making it much harder (grade now approx 24ish...?)

 
15 16 Ethics - with Edmund Gemelo Jr. Trad 8m Very Good
Nice climb, worth getting on. Protects well with small to medium cams. Can clip anchor 1m right of climb once for an easy lower off or potential top rope. Grade change to 15.

15 The Ghost of Melville - with Stephen Gordon Trad 25m Very Good
Wish it was longer. Definitely has had some traffic, pretty polished.

 
14 Hangman - with Stephen Gordon Trad 25m Good
Challenging for the grade if you miss-read the crux down low.

 
13 Sexless Sue - with Stephen Gordon Trad 20m Good

21 The Big Chill - with Stephen Gordon Trad 15m Very Good
Great couple moves through the crux. (Pre-clipped the first two bolts below the crux for pro)

 
15 Fractured Fairytales - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 20m, 2 Good
Nice rock, just wish it was longer. Committing move to step onto the climb, as I was too short to reach the first bolt. Managed to reach by slinging a nut on the first bolt for pro.

Awesome climb! Lead the 2nd pitch, which protected well. Once the crack runs out the large flake is nearby, then moving onto easier climbing.

The Gorge - South Side Summit Rim
22 Smear Tactics - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 15m, 1 Very Good
Very little to work with on this one, especially near the top. Not exactly sure what I was standing up on, but it seemed to do the trick.

The Gorge - South Side The Waterfall South Side
15 Fantasies Of Gail - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 35m, 4 Very Good
Awesome spot to rap into with view of the falls. Good exposure at the start, with an unnerving move onto the slab. Well protected yet spaced far enough apart to keep you concentrating.

 
Sat 17th Dec 2016 - Mount Buffalo
The Gorge - South Side The Oval Area
17 Wicked Solitaire - with Stephen Gordon Trad 40m Classic
2nd pitch is a cracker! Both pitches had clean rock & take good gear. 1st pitch was nice and also worth while doing. Not as burley or difficult as the top (money) pitch.

 
Fri 9th Dec 2016 - Beechworth Area

17 Root Canal - with Chris Rule Mixed trad 15m, 1 Average
Average with suspect rock in places.

 
17 Crack Cusp Technique - with Chris Rule Trad 15m Very Good

19 Crown Jewel - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 20m, 3 Very Good
Stitched it up clean on the second effort. Worth a visit if in the area.

 
19 Crown Jewel - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 20m, 3 Very Good
Enjoyable climb. Went to some bad holds first crack and went for a fly. Hung about and managed to work it out. Worth taking a BD .4 or .3 cam to protect the start.

 
Tue 25th Oct 2016 - Beechworth Area
Mt Stanley The Far Block
18 Skyline - with Edmund D Gemelo Jr Mixed trad 15m, 3 Very Good
Great climb on good rock, well worth a visit. Managed to place two BD nuts (size 2 & 3) near each other a couple meters above the last bolt to protect the finish.

15 Guatemalan Disco Adventure - with Edmund D Gemelo Jr Trad 10m Average
First couple meters climbs okay, but that's about all. Encountered some loose rock. Better climbs & rock next door.

17 Psychopath - with Stephen Gordon Trad 28m Classic
Crux is in the first few meters of the climb. Great jamming, pro and rests.

 
14 S.S.C.C.1 - with Stephen Gordon Trad 25m Good
Surprisingly difficult move early on for a 14. Micro cams would have been handy for horizontal break down low.

 
Sat 9th Jul 2016 - Beechworth Area
Mt Pilot Bakery Wall
21 Beechworth Bakery - with Stephen Gordon Trad 20m Classic
Awesome climb, great natural line. Was placing gear and had a finger lock pop out out unexpectedly above the crux. Finished the climb after the one fall. Look forward to getting it clean next time.

 
Sat 25th Jun 2016 - Beechworth Area
Mt Pilot Dentistry Wall
21 Bridge Work - with Stephen Gordon Mixed trad 15m, 2 Very Good
Crack climbs well to start, then a gear shift to move up and onto the slab arete. The second carrot bolt needs a shave, struggled to force a bolt plate over it while leading, it would only take a 90. Great climb, but will need to fix that bolt next visit and give the moss a brush near the top.

 
17 Crack Cusp Technique - with Stephen Gordon Trad 15m Very Good
Solid lead and takes good gear. Packs in a lot over the short distance. Well worth a climb and should get more traffic. Conditions where damp at the time, which added some spice to the lead. I am happy that I didn't chicken out near the last move.

Dragged my way up the direct line through the roof, but felt hard. Must of overlooked some key holds/footers. Look forward to climbing it better next time.

Awesome climb! Feels really exposed when turning the roof. Good protection throughout.

Physical moves when pulling over roof, although the crux is well protected. Nice climb and a solid lead by Steve G.

 
15 Angie - with Stephen Gordon Trad 35m Very Good
Great holds and exposure through the roof. Very enjoyable climb and the anchors make for an easy lower off.

 
21 Staircase - with Stephen Gordon, Lindsay Mixed trad 35m, 2 Very Good
Awkward angles, underclings, side pulls and some face holds make for an interesting climb. Highly recommended!

 
Mon 14th Mar 2016 - Beechworth Area
Mt Stanley Grendel Gully
17 Matinee - with Stephen Gordon Trad 20m Good
Offers some good hand/fist jams through the crux. Well protected climb and worth the short walk.

 
Sun 13th Mar 2016 - Beechworth Area
Mt Stanley Grendel Gully
20 Unnamed - with Stephen Gordon Trad 18m Very Good
The crack in the first half of this climb is top quality. Offers an alternate slab finish from above the crack, just head slightly left and up to add to the grade.
