Brilliant route from James and Hugh! Deserves a whole lot more attention than it gets. With this, Harbinger, and La Niña, Boyce Town has some of the best under appreciated cracks in the mountains. Second go on the first pitch and then onsighted the upper two pitches linked together with Paul belaying on the ground. The first pitch is an amazing roof crack at about 24 that is unfortunately guarded by a pretty hard boulder off the ground (I do not know what grade it is). This should however not put you off! With one aid move or climbing in via a bolt to the left you can access the amazing upper crack which really is rad, or just do the move. The upper pitches are a bit shit and on shit bolts; either very old carrots or stainless bash ins. I wouldn’t really recommend bothering to do them. I didn’t enjoy the climbing and thought it was kinda dangerous; probably takes away from the quality of the first pitch. A much better thing to do would be to step right and finish up La Niña for sustained trad radness (or lower off). Because of rope drag and gear and general shitness and so I could rap clean the route, after pulling the steep section on the top pitch I climbed direct up the grey jugs instead of traversing left to the snappy orange rock for the last few metres. I think this makes the climbing less offensive and allows you to get to the tree belay on top in a way that means you can easily belay or rap. You can rap from this tree to the anchor at the top of the first pitch on a 70m.

Mega mega mega! Definitely one to add to the trad canon. Started up Boisterous then stepped right at the ledge as per FA and pulled the rope up and dropped it back down at the stance for drag purposes. All the bolts had draws on them but I placed all the trad on red point except for the two fixed wires that I hung the draws on during the send. I could wax lyrical but you should just go do it instead. Second go.

Don't be a yellow bellied landlubber, get some citrus into ya bod and drag yourself and a fellow seadog down to Perry's to battle your Vitamin C deficiency and embark on a voyage of (self) discovery up through this sea of orange.
Definitely one of the better days of rock climbing I have had. At 11pm the night before I asked Elliot if he wanted to go rock climbing and he said "yeah maybe" which wasn't a very promising response I thought. Then half an hour later he messaged back saying he was psyched and asking if maybe we could do something "he wouldn't normally do". We spoke about Pierces but Elliot was setting till 12 so I figured the sun might be a bit much and then I said "how about Stiletto?" which brought forth a wave of froth over the airwaves. In the conversation that followed I briefly mentioned sourcing a stick clip and heading up Scurvy but that idea was mostly discounted. The next morning I had a delightful sleep in and Elliot pottered over to mine just after midday. We faffed with gear for half an hour or so and then went to Coles to grab some muesli bars and head torch batteries. When we got back to the car Elliot said something like "fuck yeah! lets go do Scurvy" and I thought something like "fuck me we are really going for it" and suggested we try and get that stick clip. I messaged Liz but when she didn't reply straight away (she has a proper job with real responsibility and can't be on her phone always at work (or writing long winded trip reports on the crag)) I thought that really stick clips are aid and would detract from the vibe of the thing. So we fucked that idea right off and headed to the car park. We rapped in as for DWD to preserve our onsight (hah) and at the base stuck our head round the corner to look at the route. After ditching our gear I took a moment to show Elliot the Perry's Crack which seemed to be an experience of near religious awe for him and, upon returning to the base of the route, we saw a static line descending from the heavens. After much conjecture about who or what it may be we decided that we should stop faffing and actually do some rock climbing so I put my harness back on and started up the first pitch. Pitch one is a pretty cool arete, I found the first three or four bolts of climbing to be quite scary and perhaps a bit dangerous, especially getting to bolts two and three. I got up this without too much trouble though and only a small amount of fear driven hesitation. Elliot came up and we were met by Matt and Jake on the belay. They went up the second pitch of Stiletto and we waited before following them. Pitch two was really fkn hard off the belay, the moves were manageable but it seemed very staunch for 26 and then there was another hard boulder above a ledge at the end which is maybe okay once you have it sussed but felt desperate for us. It had also well and truly started raining by this point for extra engagement points. Pitch three was fucking classic and one of my finer onsighting efforts with no chalk in the rain. I had some healthy encouragement from the peanut gallery as I shook my way through the slab crux a body length above my last bolt. Exciting stuff. Pitch four was wildly good, Elliot put in an absolutely brilliant effort on runout hard steep adventurous terrain. Mega classic! Pitch five saw us experience some difficulties. I couldn't figure out the boulder to turn the lip at the start and so handed the reigns to Elliot. He put in the most valiant effort getting to the very end of the pitch before a cryptic runout section stumped him and after some decent whips he came down. Whilst we were prepared to rap and walk out if we had to bail, Jake graciously agreed to leave his fixed line in place and so at 7.30pm we did a pretty classic traverse across the face to his rap line and jugged/rope soloed out that, topping out just as it got dark. And thus ended one of the most classic days on rock I have ever had. Approaching a route like this from the ground is surely one of the raddest ways to climb and we should all do shit like this more often!! |

Had a decent onsight effort on the second pitch. Found it quite reachy and hanging the draws was the crux. Came off in the top third and then dogged to the top. Fell off above the last bolt on my second go when I missed my footer and very very very slowly barn-doored off. Devastating. I shall return. I also think that there should be a bolt to protect the step across move, it seems dumb that you could break yourself on this one section for no reason. Harry flashed which was fucking rad.

A brilliant and very worthy mini tradventure. I fell off straight away at the start of pitch one, came down from the first piece of gear, ditched most of the rack because it weighed so much, and fired it off. Such a classic and quite feisty pitch, felt quite 23 honestly. Second pitch was a fun ramble, I broke off an enormous footer though and went for an unexpected and exciting one arm dangle. Pitch three is also great; a novel roof crack to start and pleasant layback to finish. Doubles (or triples!!) to 0.5 and singles above that seemed like a good rack. Wires were helpful too. Barely need any quickdraws, maybe four regular ones and two extenders for the roof on pitch three. You can also take one bolt bracket for the belay at the end of pitch two, but it probably isn't necessary. The bush bash off the top also wasn't too bad, definitely faster than trying to rap and walk out normally.

Was hoping for connies that replicated Tuesday and thought I may have been in with a real chance. But alas. Hot, damp, humid, gross. Is this the end of the Shipley season? Only one go it was that bad.

Another three. Probably my worst goes in a while. Tried the world cup lower and then go again to stay warm but i’m not nearly strong enough to climb it twice in a row. It’s just so good though!
