Begehungen in Second Pyramid

Had no big gear so had to set up a TR

Excellent day spent scoping out what the second pyramid has to offer!

the perfect finish to a huge day exploring around the pyramids!

In one pitch. One of two great days out climbing with Scott, Shawn, Sandra, Toby, Kyle, and Dan! Did this route as a re-introduction, as well as a handful of other slabs, cracks, and faces around the second pyramid. A great couple days out!

Just as good second time round. Led as one long pitch which is the way to go

Loved this climb, cool and interesting moves all the way.

Pretty committing to walk the slab with misty rain and cold, strong winds. Wedged myself into the offwidth and wormed my way up to glory. Would recommend the leader put in bigger and more gear next time.

Great lead by Ben!

Had a lot of fun on this one. 1st pitch a bit thin on gear but manageable, 2nd pitch way more comfortable (at least if one follows the flake instead of going straight up ) Takes a lot of small gear.

Exciting lead. Super climbing.

Short fun warm up

Seconded after Jack and Yim. Maybe I’m showing my age but the first ascent just hurt my lower back, then it was just a walk across. Not a huge fan.

First time seconding on trad gear.slid down half the rock trying to get to the start. First pitch was nice, second pitch I followed Yim’s sketchy runout and ended up laying flat for a minute before finding feet again. Great fun!

Finally got used to slab climbing. Awesome arch, used a lot of gear and extenders.

I was very nearly filling my pants on this. Largely my fault for doing it in a single pitch with a single rack, but also very committing.

Really nice arch, very enjoyable traverse

First lead in Girraween for me. Hard start but getting easier after 15-20m or so, also after getting used to slab climbing. Having big gear helps, a few #5 and #6 cams would make life very comfortable.

Just awesome.

Amazing climb, but scary on lead. I should probably have been lower at the crux. At least I brought enough gear.

Beautiful climb in a great location.

Brilliant first pitch with some unlikely hand jams and gastons on a wall/flake and some nice smearing. A few ledges keep it from getting desperate. Id bought a bd 6 cam 2 days before doing this climb, max placed it on the first pitch, I placed it on the second. Pretty much needed both times, you could do this climb with just up to bd 5 in cams but it would be a touch pooey. The size 6 kept things comfortable. I gave max the first lead thinking that the descriptions of 'wide crack at the top' meant off-width, really i just made him lead all the hard climbing, and then lead about 15m of grade ~8 climbing which was low gradient assisted walking with a wide crack to hold and put gear into (lol).

Great fun!! Slab at the start gets a bit run out. Would have been pretty insane without the v small micro cam (green dmm). Really nice 2nd pyramid style smearing small footers and hauling on the big flake through the first pitch. Good small gear in thin crack. Engaging climbing but not necessarily a pant-filler. Max led 2nd pitch up more stellar flakes. Better gear on this one. We both belayed at trees (youll know if you do the route) and we found this is probably the way to go. I think best 14 in QLD is probably accurate, this was an absolute stellar climb, and no harder than 14. In saying that I would recommend being solid on slab at higher grades in order to lead the first pitch.

Did it for the booty! Not a bad route

IDK if it was this route or an undescribed one. Left-trending crack that starts halfway up Buzzard Bait. Really fun climbing

Not bad for a short little trad climb

Exciting, 5 bolts, bring a 2 Camelot for a pod near the top. Nut belay in a flake

Incredible climbing reminiscent of Watchtower Crack. Don't be intimidated by the offwidth.

Was sick watching Kyle's inspiring lead of Verglas.

Quick way down, but a a heady downclimb at one spot.

Lead the second pitch and spent ages making my anchor but got there in the end!

Did the second climb to the left of upside down bullfrog. May have been this one. Felt a couple grades harder than a 20.

Mega Classic. Was unaware of the topout on slab beta but decided to do it anyway. Good times.

strenuous on the feet, take big gear

onsight or die

Good beginner intro to girra

Absolute mega classic, super daunting line but we just had to back ourselves. Probably one of the coolest lines I've ever done and stoked to tick it off. Climbing this feels like dancing, very technical and precise. Pretty much spent the last week and a half at girra, initially hating slab, now loving it. Started on Roukes Rift, ended on this, what a trip. Onto the next adventure classic.
