Begehungen in West Face haben Beta

Down climb from Prometheus.

Didn't realise this could be logged and want to keep track of distance. Feels unfair to call it an onsight as so well marked.

Took a triple rack. It wasnt enough. I Need more hexes in my life

Sat on a ledge a few times to rest and recover my headspace. Did some breathing exercises to regain the zen. Pulled it together and sent. Kudos to Cameron Hickling for the onsight solo.

Would hate to not onsight it

Didn’t exactly get the onsite couple of people gave me tips and beta coming back down as I was heading up, crux would defiantly be dodging the loose rocks that people kick down. Mega classic need more traffic.

Quite fun. I wouldn’t do it without a helmet. You can’t have an alpine route in a Qld until the next ice age!

Downclimb off

Downclimb after ascending via Caves Route

Tourist backlog. First scrambled circa '06

(27 mins)

Up the Caves Route and down this track, the tourist track.

Up Caves Route and down the tourist track

Came to do the Caves Route but there was a rescue underway so I got turned away. The tourist track is surprisingly nice though.

40 mins up for Sunset. Down climbed in the dark for shits & giggles

climbing this back in 2010 is what got me into rock climbing in the first place. Always great fun.

Didn't realize hiking trails counted

Good, easy, mindless scrambling.

Too popular too loose

Great end of dayer, and the view is awesome!!

Walked to the summit to easily rap into cave 5

west track to start the day hanging abseil into the summit cave then up short and sweet and Hercules to finish the day off.

Beautiful day for it!

Early morning climb to see the sunrise.

Guided 65yo up this today, rope and all. Crisp winter day, how nice.

A quick run up & down to get in shape (he says).

Enjoyable scramble

Went up this with a huge huge hangover. Vomited 4 times, but still topped out.

Another gorgeous glasshouse walk, panoramic to say the least. A pity it sees so much traffic the erosion is far from controlled! Food for thought!!!

The usual descent track. God awful loose rubble on the freeway of a track, with many the tourist dislodging it above you.

God knows if I was on the right line. Felt very easy for 14. Had planned to do SFR, but failed to find the start.

Don't give me any beta. Don't want to blow my onsight!

A solo downclimb (haha). Descent route after topping out on Blabbermouth.

First 'climb' on Tibro.

I actually started out to solo Prometheus I, but looking at what I thought was Felp, I started up the wide gully & quickly got off route (if I ever was in the right place to start with). Anyway, for posterity: Start on the RHS of the big gully below the face with the prominent yellow streaks at the top. Up easy gr.1 rock, trending R, following the LoLR, step R across V-groove and continue up steepening rock till holds runout, then 2m R along sloping ledge to aréte, step carefully around the sharp aréte, avoiding loose blocks, into overhanging corner, up this passing a small bush & ledge above. up slightly easier rock above, again trending slightly R till you arrive at the vegetated terrace. L through this to slaby corner on R, & up the slab & bush bash to the tourist track.

what a classic! lost count

It's a walking track. Good for getting down.

Rested on the sign at the bottom

requires more exposure to be a real rock climbing route. Closest grade 1 I know thou.

a very exciting hike

The tourist track on Tibro. With Ash

Things have cooled down enough to enjoy a sprint up the mountain.

Ditto.
