Begehungen in Coalcliff

The second two pitches as a long 22. Cool route with a few rests and classic Wollongong rock quality.

Tricky start with the corner wet!

Interesting if slightly inconsistent climbing.

Brutal think section at 1/3 height culminating in a lunge to a crimp that wasn't there. On second inspection, the crimp was there just a half a hand leftwards. Great route but stiff at 24!

Quite tough at the grade and with quite an awkward fall right at the crux. Also, we chose the arete off the hanging belay which would be quite exciting for grade 22 leader right off the belay.

Fought through the crack system but then made a bad call trying to clip mid crux above the cave, slipped off. Otherwise quite good route.

Excellent! Must check out. This is the fun warmup you want.

Sandbag. Not the warmup you want.

Definitely the classic line in the area. Good rock, tricky and sustained lower section.

Super fun and cracky. Had the second bolt clipped. Could maybe be green pointed?

First lap is hard not knowing the holds and moves

Still couldn’t do the crux

Fun varied climbing, 2 stars for sure

Plenty of options. Roof is not worth the effort.

Burly from go to wo. Not the warmup.

Warm up. 2 laps. A bit grotty.

Pretty rock. Slopers.

So good! Instant exposure from bolt 1. Lovely undulating rock. Nice flora. Bonus Surf check.

Nice arete with cool movement transitioning between side pulls. One fall at bolt 2 following the bolt line on the rhs of the corner. The intended line seems to be directly up the arete.

It was a trek out! Wish we had bikes. Cool location. First pitch was wet so we dogged the first move. Pitch two was the money pitch and quiet good, but I punted the beta on my first go going round the arete. Top pitch is pretty average. Take bike. Well done equipping the route. Stars for location and the 2nd pitch.

Very fun climb

Probably the most interesting climb at this grade I’ve done. The anchors would be very reachy for short folks!

First trad second!

Used the rest to the right of the 5th draw, skipped the 5th 😅. Probably will come back and do it again so it’s smooth since the moves are so fun!
