Begehungen in Slape Area als Tick

The BM guidebook recommends a certain piece of gear, I also recommend it. Super awesome at the grade!

About time I got on this! Very cool atmospheric climbing.

First time in the Blue Mountains, what an experience!! The second pitch really tested me in every way possible. I am so lucky to climb alongside Harrie and Dylan. Absolutely stoked to have finished it!!

One grunt at a time in the offwidth! I probably would have pooped myself if I'd had lead pitch 2, that traverse was scary! A #6 would have been useful. Unsure if we were supposed to squeeze through the horrible and non protected chimney at the end. Bailed and decided to top out towards the right instead, much safer. What an epic adventure!

Definitely slippery as in the off-width section. I almost felt like 2 6s would have been more helpful than a 5 and a 6. The roof traverse wasn't bad at all compared to the glassy off-width. We just did the first 2 pitches.

Epic adventure and a huge challenge. Offwidth technique definitely needs work. Traverse was amazing and terrifying. Not sure about the third pitch. The chimney seemed impossible. Ended up pulling over the overhang on the left.

Typical Piddo old school grading, much harder than the grade. First pitch has some decent rests with placements for medium cams, medium nuts and large nuts. Take a couple of #5's for the second pitch or simply bump as you go. Excellent climbing!

By far the coolest pitch I've ever climbed, and not awfully sandbagged. Walked out after the 3rd and sketchy pitch.

Second pitch is weird. Tried to go straight up on the slab at the start and failed

Thunderstorm during the roof section made for an interesting experience

Absolute epic! Big day out

worst pitch in the mountains followed by the best. but the second pitch thankfully makes up for its ugly junk sibling below. ps i guess we bailed?

This is the younger sibling of Telstar. Every move of the Second pitch is amazing and pretty unique. Slabby offwidth you can bump a #6 all the way up, to cramped air walk with bomber jams to rebirthing yourself onto a ledge of joy. Rapped of the fixed sling after pitch 2. I even didn't mind the first pitch.

Rick extended pitch 1 to the roof, the I lead the traverse. Abseiled from the top of pitch 2 with a 56m rope.

Finally jumped on this! I lead the first pitch, linking up the off width. A big cam keeps it somewhat sane. Rory lead the space walk pitch. For some reason we had a backpack thinking it would be some kind of multi day epic, huge mistake. Had to pass up the bag in order to get up from the traverse.

Tricky start followed by some amazing chimney work. Good holds both hidden and obvious with medium size placements. Felt harder than an 8, but shouldn't expect anything less at good old Piddo. Ran out of time so will return to do the second pitch. Rapped off the small shrub closest to the start of the second pitch (brown pants).
