	18	★★★ Rajah - with Mark Thake	Trad 80m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Steve Cooper	Wed 1st Mar 2023
My introduction to crack climbing I had to sit once on each pitch but had an amazing time.
	18	★★★ Rajah	Trad 80m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Sam Strong	Sat 6th Jan 2024
1st pitch only with Ella and Renz
	18	★★★ Rajah - with Sean Peters 1 Trad lead by Dean Clean to first ledge (4x #2, 1x #1), finding the #1 thin hands section the crux. Belayed (with #3 + overcammed #4) Sean up to reclaim the gear. And dempump my thumbs. Wasn't breathing too well on the next pitch so relinquished the onsight and took some rests. Started by bumping our remaining #3 up until plugging in the #4 and followed by medium cams. Stepped right into the V then back left at the rooflet. Anchor with #.75 and #2 between another party's gear, though another #3 would have been good. 2 Second lead by Sean Peters Charged up to the roof section then pulled it with a high right foot. Sean ran out of gear toward the end. The guidebook's claim that the rock quality at the top is "relatively good" is rubbish: the right side was aptly termed "weet-bix" by the locals and a many holds on the left flexed too.	Trad 80m	Ben Lomond		Dean	Fri 12th Jan 2024
In general, a pretty taxing climb that (along with the long approach and exit) left me sore. The hands jams were quite taxing since they were often deep, baggy and (especially with both feet in the crack) required pulling on to stay close to the rock.
	18	★★★ Rajah P1 - with Buster the Booly Bushman 1 Trad	Trad 80m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	The Condawg	Thu 25th Jan 2024
Split the pitch into two as we had a party of tree and one rope

Just the first 40m but split in 2 pitches. I lead up gorgeous splitter up the first 15m. Lovely jams! Al led the second pitch with some tricky wide sections that again had me lamenting large-handed men. Near the top, I left the crack for a bit somewhat accidentally and did some sidepull face shenanigans before rejoining. Heaps of fun!

another superb Ben Lomond crack
	18 17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Phil Box	Sun 28th Dec 2003
I did the 1st and 3rd pitches and Lee did the second pitch. The top pitch is 45 metres and not 15 as advertised in the guide. Watch for loose rock in the top pitch.

Did first pitch at 7pm at night, did the next two pitches the next day. Phil led p1 and p3, I led p2. Was so cold seconding p1 I had to wear thermal gloves.

cold
	18 17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★ Good	Vanessa Wills	Thu 29th Dec 2011
Led pitch2. I think my whimpering could be heard from the mainland when looking up at the route- a nightmare of solid handjamming

	18 17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Tom	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Cameron Semple	Tue 5th Mar 2013
Stunning crack climbing which I'll remember for a long time. Strenuous hands on the first pitch with a tricky little section above the first ledge. Awesome hands to fists, then a beautiful face/corner section followed by the scary little traverse on rattly holds to finish the second. Great twin cracks before the rock goes to crap on the last. Plenty of face holds save you from the widening crack. Day turned into an epic with the descent and lack of water up the wall on a hot, hot day.

Off hand for me, felt quite insecure, great climb though.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Laura	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Sun 9th Nov 2014
First climb on the Ben! Fantastic the whole way. What a place! Led all pitches. Rack - Wires and double cams from small grey camalot to blue, with a single #4. Extra reds and yellows are handy for the belays.

Fun outing.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		Dave Hoyle	Wed 7th Jan 2015
2 stunning pitches. Plenty of booty wires behind the pillar on p2. Just bring someone super skinny and a grabber on a stick contraption thingo.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		Max Lopez	Sat 7th Feb 2015
Great route toped out at dark
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with travis and adam	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Jon	Sat 21st Feb 2015
cracking climb and felt more like an 18 to me, def a classic, lead P1 but not super clean, Travis lead P2 and 3. Committing move round and up onto layback flake on P2 then up and onto traverse, thought P3 was pretty good too and the choss wasn't as bad as I expected. Hooked on the Ben after this one!
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Bianca Civello	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Jean-Philippe Dumas	Sun 11th Jan 2015
Nearly got first pitch and then shattered and shut down for rest of the climb
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta 1 lead by Me 2 lead by Omri 3 lead by Me	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		Alex Mougenot	Tue 22nd Dec 2015
A good intro to Ben Lomond without getting into a marathon crack, I reckon. Last pitch was superb (before the choss).

	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Liam Green	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Morgan	Fri 25th Dec 2015
Ahhh finally a first slog on The Flutes!! Fell off a couple of times on the initial jam crack..got more into the swing of things as we went. Speccy as anything, with varied pitches. Led pitches 1 & 3.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		William Skea	Fri 1st Jan 2016
Fell off a few times on the first pitch, and we left behind three hexes at the first belay due to heavy loading. I'm coming back the second week of January with a hammer to try and remove them. Please send me a pm if anyone gets them down.

First real crack climbing experience! Felt hard and scary but we made it! Awesome!
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Jon	Tue 26th Jan 2016
Classic of the moderate jamming genre, led all pitches
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Andrew	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Fri 5th Feb 2016
With Andrew. I led all pitches. Shoulder seemed to hold up ok.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Vladi Eileen	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Paul Frothy Thomson	Thu 11th Feb 2016
Onsight all pitches. Linked P2 & P3 into a 58m pitch (not recommended). Brilliant, sustained and varied jam crack climbing, but marred by the top 20m of hideously loose "wheat-Bix climbing". Would be a mega classic if you could avoid the top 20m.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with x2 Frenchies	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Nick Morgan	Sun 21st Feb 2016
Done as a trio with x2 Frenchies sharing leads. I led the final pitch.

	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Blodgett	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★ Very Good	Hywel Rowlands	Thu 23rd Mar 2017
Very nice climbing. First two pitches are the best. Bagged some bootie and left some bootie
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Nathanael Hinton	Sun 2nd Apr 2017
Great way to start the month. Swapping leads, seconded first and third pitch. Almost fell on my lead but caught myself. Would have made the whole climb clean aside from a small fall at the start of the third pitch. Awesome day out in the cold
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Vicky Chen	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Rene Provis	Sat 31st Dec 2016

	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Nathanael Hinton	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Classic	Scott Godwin	Sat 21st Oct 2017
Early season warm up. Should really have sacked up and done something new, but this was a nice way to spend a couple of hours on a great sunny october day when everyone tried to tell me it would be too cold to climb on the Ben. Nate led P1 and 3. I led P2.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond		JP	Mon 13th Nov 2017
Good times on my first crack. Seemed like a LOT of dodgy flakes on the second and third pitches. Third pitch was the most varied with a bit of corner bridging possible, rock didnt seem so much worse that the second pitch.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Pete, Jasmin	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Elias	Thu 30th Nov 2017
the best jamming I've ever had!

Beautiful
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Harry Kadi	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Will Vidler	Mon 8th Jan 2018
I led the first and third pitches on this and man it felt hard for 17. Sustained off hands on the first pitch left me gasping for air and then terrifying choss on the last pitch combined with quite funky climbing also had me working. Superbly awesome last route out here though and a great way to top The Ben. Hands are now absolutely messed after 5 days of jamming dolerite.
	17	★★★ Barbe Di Vendetta - with Will Vidler	Trad 90m	Ben Lomond	★★★ Mega Classic	Harry Kadi	Mon 8th Jan 2018
Hardest 17 i have ever climbed, the first pitch being just off hands and not quite fist made it super desperate and quite tricky! Second pitch was a bit spicy climbing the choss arête with the ledge and gear well below. Third pitch had another desperate start and a scary mega choss section to finish! Nice to finally top out the ben!
