Begehungen in Shipley Lower als Onsight

Awesome fun. That corner looks so intimidating from below, but it climbs surprisingly reasonable.

Sandbagged ourselves by assuming we could rap off, so took packs to the base. I got the honours of bush-bashing out at dusk with the gear and rope, whilst Aidan got to rap down, and do the long walk with one pack stuff inside the other.

Radical adventure climb, alot more engaging than flake crack at the grade! Epic rockclimbing

Great climb. Had to fight to onsight this one.

Awesome top section after the ramp.

Great adventure line which is worth the walk down to lower shipply.

First couple of moves on the first pitch are a bit suspect with some absolute choss holds. Make sure you get a spot for this part.

Second pitch is the money, link up with the 3rd pitch to avoid the shit gear at the top of the second pitch.

Fully trad multi! Made a 4 piece anchor at the top of 2, in the slightly sandy potentially breakable rock. Added a bomber hex and cam as backups.. Third pitch was spicy because of said rock quality. Topped out and used the tree, it's good. Bit of bush bashing to get back to upper shipley but thankfully Pedro has a sense of direction, head up and left then down across the creek.

Unreal route!! Finishing that first pitch and viewing the overhanging second pitch is daunting! Took Tom up for his first multi! Killed it! Quite an experience with the extremely high winds and exposure! Linked pitches 2 & 3

Linked both pitches. The start is quite dangerous and on very average rock. There is a nice section of steep scoops following this, but the upper section is dull climbing with a deathy runout. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, really.

Pretty stoked with the onsight given the (obvious) lack of wear/traffic and dirty holds after the recent deluge.

Linked both pitches into a giant 45m pitch from the ground. I don't necessarily recommend this unless you use 2 ropes, or pull up and drop the rope (for a clean run of rope) at the end of P1, as the rope drag was horrible.

A very old school, wandery, cryptic, and intimidating line. P1 starts inauspiciously, but ends with some pretty hard slabbing a long way above a carrot. P2 features some heart-stopping climbing to gain the arete, turn it, and continue up the slab on the other side before finally getting another carrot. Both pitches were good fun if you like the style, but P2 proved gripping enough to be memorable, and I'll readily admit that I was a bit freaked.

Great route, first six metres of the first pitch are fairly spicy, used tiny wires and cams to make myself feel better. Really awesome all the way up to the end of pitch two. Pitch two was awesome, big holds, good jams, good feet, awesome rock. Pitch 3 is worth linking to avoid an average belay. Pitch three had a bit of sting in it for a 15, chossy too.

A line to remember. Raced up this classic after a day of cragging around CG and Upper Shipley. Accessed by rapping - got a little soaked by the waterfall on the way down.

First pitch is great, and can be done entirely on bomber wires (micro cam could be useful for starting moves). The second pitch is breathtakingly steep and looms above. Great gear throughout and plenty of positive holds for those with an aversion to jamming. Again this crack takes awesome passive pro - hexes were handy! Link last pitch - it had a some spice but still quite enjoyable!

As the crack isn’t quite splitter, this climb could comfortably be done with a single rack of Cam (micro/big size useful), a nice selection of nuts and hexes.

Killer line and great moves. Somehow i was closer to slipping of some silliness in the 15 section than at the crux

Pitch two is the money.but pitch one and three are average. Definitely not a classic in my books Linked pitch two and three.

2nd the first pitch. Led the 2nd and 3rd pitch. Was good to have a .3 cam and small wires for off the deck. Small cam also useful.

Primo.

An awesome route, and surprised myself with an onsight of the second pitch.

Pretty tough start with high gear on pitch one, and up the groove on good gear. Second pitch started with a fun slab, then through the bulge on bomber gear and surprisingly juggy holds. Just when I thought I was going to pump off, more jugs appeared! Linked the second and third pitches.

Definitely recommend approaching it from Shipley Upper and rapping in, the walk along the base of the cliff was a lot longer than expected.

Exciting start, the second pitch crux section alone is worth it!! Even the top of the 15 is great

Varied climbing up an interesting wall. Use long slings especially at the overlaps.

Unique feature
