Ascents in Robin's Buttress

Fist jam is hard… Scrambling is equally hard…😅 是我不行

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.

Only did the first pitch of this on toprope as an offwidth challenge at the end of the day because we were running out of time. Super hilarious to climb but easier than expected. Harry reckons it's grade 14 if you layback.

The absolute best. -The- climb I wanted to do at the Ben and I'm stoked to have onsighted it as my first route there. Absolutely awesome! First pitch only.

An absolutely beautiful line of the most perfect hands. So wonderful and a great lead by Harry with our less than ideal rack. First pitch only.

I cruised most of this on second only to have it turn into a desperate battle at the top trying to remove gear from rattly finger and ring locks. Ended up collapsing on the belay ledge quite exhausted but stoked with my effort. An awesome onsight attempt by Harry which was thwarted by a pesky foot skip. The first pitch is really only 35m long and we rapped off here due to time constraints.

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.

Great thoughtful climbing, unfortunately I think the second pitches post rock detracted from the experience, great moves nonetheless and stoked on the pure jamming down low

Led pitch2. I think my whimpering could be heard from the mainland when looking up at the route- a nightmare of solid handjamming

Led it until I ran out of gear 8 m below top. Seconded clean. It’s ok, but I found it quite repetitive and tedious. P1 only. Rappel is 35m

P1 only. I detest blue “ hands” so I only liked the top third. Splitters clearly aren’t my thing.

Awesome, took absolutely everything out of me, and was trying not to vomit at the belay. Started in the wrong crack, with wet, slimy crap for 5m, but the main crack is amazing. Most of the crack is super thin hands, with a couple of decent rests, and feet to the R of the crack. Would be have been more comfortable with 4 #1 and 3 #0.75 cams.

Super awesome first pitch. Starts with perfect hands, and basically just keeps going right to the belay with a couple of slightly wider sections. Thought the crux was definitely the overhang on p2.

I love cracks! Best Handcrack I've done in Oz. Better than Kaladan, Eternity, Sizzler, Infinity etc.

Led the second half of the route. Found start of first pitch very strenuous for little hands and had to rest a bit.

Very very very sustained. One sit on second.

Getting a bit better at off hands jamming after doing Barbe the day before. Led P2.

first pitch superb, second pitch maybe the worst rock quality I've ever led

the good old offwidth grunt was in the shade so worth a go

bottom pitch was wet and muddy, aided a few meters up and down again

rest just where you desperately need them

uff! need to improve my fingerlocks for that one. No body tension after all the climbing doesn't help neither
