Ascents in Fear Wall

Still too wet... grr

8mm of rain two days earlier and 130mm six days earlier equals waterfall on upper pitch (other Scarborough crags dry).

Used the rap rings 5m north of the top out carrots to fix a 60m static rope and rapped ~57m to a ledge then walked 10m north to the anchor bolts at the start of P2.

Nice to free the crux moves on p2 after years thinking about it. Falcons weren't all that happy to see us, loud but no bite.

Most tiring and scary day I've had on the escarpment, by far. We bailed into 2 boys 1 skyhook.

Bailed up this after the money rope epic

An Epic today. The description states propa trad line with some spice, don't take that lightly.

We rapped in further left above 'slow the beat down' its about 70-75m to ground, no rope pro needed, all in free air which was insanely cool

Jolly journey especially when a hold breaks on the 4th pitch. Had a peregrine falcon not happy to see us but we didn't get attacked

Lead all pitches bar the P2 bushwalk and linked pitch 4+5 for some mild rope drag. My 40m static was too short to rap from P3 belay to the ground.

Turns out I accidently did this when I though i did storms at sea, probably what led to picking the wrong rap down the monkey rope.

Really fun half day out, the bolting at the crux is interesting. Was fine for me but wouldn't want to be falling on it (not super bad just low to the ledge). Also made it to the ledge after the first pitch with a 60m static rope, and tbh to me not worth going all the way down to the bottom.

After work strike mission. So chossy

Not a bad climb if you can look past the mud and choss. Incredible views!

A fun mini-adventure. Good mix of jugs, thin face climbing and good corner cracks. There's also a good mix of rock quality 😉

Sadly fell off on the delicate traverse on P2 so can't claim the clean tick.

Topping out the climb is heinous and muddy. Seriously consider leaving a bit of rope at the top out anchors.

Also combined P4 and P5, which is a good option to save on belay faff, no significant issues with rope drag.

Just did Pitch 1 with the fellas to show them the rad stuff.

No tick for me this time. Found the crux move too taxing today. Super shouldery boulder crux !! need to flag right foot and grab the pinch with bigger grip next time

A 70m from rap anchors will get you to the ground, a 60 will not

Pretty good chossy traversey fun! Surprisingly wet, which made the final move to get out quite difficult.

Useful info: a 70m rope will get you down on rope stretch. A 60m rope will leave you hanging 5m above the ground. Don't ask how this information was obtained.

This is the perfect adventure climb with some excellent views. Unfortunately could not climb the final pitch as it was to wet and mossy.

Fun chossventuring. Safe the whole way tho

second time doing this multi. lead the pitches i didn't lead last time. used an 80m rope to abseil down from the top all the way to the bottom. really enjoyed leading the 4th pitch. climbed with grimmo

Nice adventure, snappy and sandy

what an adventure! pitch 3 and 6 were my favourites! 1,2 and 5 were pretty dirty, quality of climbing would be way better if not so sandy, but still so much fun. lead 1,3,5. climbed with loic

Good afternoon climb in perfect conditions. Rock is a little sandy however the real drawcard is view from the escarpment.

Highlights are pitch 3,4 and 6.

Not so dirty or sketchy. Nice climb.

Oh and we used a 5:1 pulley system to pull the kids motorbike some bogan had sent off the cliff back up.

Good deed done

Abseiled in one pitch with an 80 rope. The rope core shot about half way on a demo sharp edge. Scary stuff! The route was fun, tricky start to the 21, I hold broke higher up and I took a healthy fall. Would recommend for adventurous climbers. Hunter Cole

Last pitch ain’t 20. It has one move at the top that’s a little tricky. But it’s not 20

Top rope soloed the second and third pitches.

A cool wall and sweet outing for the Gong. But it's not quite a classic yet until it's cleaned up.

Good climbing and great bits of rock on the second pitch but I reckon the first ascensionists (Nick Roach) should go back and knock off a load more loose stuff.... then it will be sweet and a quality outing.

The crack on the 3rd pitch is a pearler but is also barely cleaned up. It's all there but would be much more pleasant and probably drop a grade if the muck was out of the crack. Get right in there with a screw driver and hammer.

Nick Roach I reckon the aid rope on the 4th pitch should be replaced by some bolts. The rock is good underneath the loose stuff and the free grade is only 18ish. Will be totally safe and reduce the mank. Would bring it up another notch.

A final good clean with a long handled stiff broom on the p4 ledge will make it a cracker mate.

nice work

back to climb the other route soon

We fixed a 54m dynamic rope to just barely reach sketch ledge, then rapped from there to the ground with another rope. Belinda led P2 as her first trad lead, then freed P4! (FFA). I freed it after her too, and it seemed to be about 19, but it required pulling on loose chossy blocks that could fall in your face, so I wouldn't recommend it. Belinda led P5 as well for the complete trad experience.
