Ascents in Vandal Area as Onsight

Good first route of the trip. Fun movement in the second pitch then a surprisingly on move followed by pleasant stemming on the third pitch

Pitch 1

Linking pitches 2-3 doesn’t work well. Recommend linking 1-2 if trying to save some time

Have actually seconded this before but recall nothing useful so will claim the lazy onsight

Lovely rock. Some tat at the end if pitch one needs cutting and removing. Don't nick your own rope!

worth one star, nice rock good moves, too many rests

if it werent for the big rest in the middle this would be the best 23 at the mount

AN ABSOLUTE SNORKELLER!!

bridging practice

no harder than watchtower crack

One painful dislocated shoulder that came back into place on the final pitch while fighting it out to the end, all in one epic snorkel finding adventure 🤿🥳

Good powerful moves on great rock.

A lot of time spent hanging on trying to work out the way to go

First pitch is a gem.

Lead 2 and 3. BETA FOLLOWS: Excellent final pitch! Other commenters seem to be missing the good small wire placement on the chimney's edge of the left wall a few metres up.

Yeah pitch three was rad and not much gear at the start so a bit committing for the first few moves.

Strung P1&2 together, then Timmy took over for the sketchy start to P3.

Led P3. Tricky start followed by a runout but good fun

Pushing my grade here. Led all three pitches. Start of first pitch is tricky for a 14, rest of p1 and all of p2 cruising. p2 has a nice small cave at the top. Belayed on the boulder right under the crux of p3. The whole climb would've been three stars if the start of p3 were been better protected. There are two small cams on the lip, but then the next 4 m has no pro, and I'm pretty sure I would've decked from 5-6 m height right on the big boulder. Crack is too wide for #6. A single bolt would be nice here. That all said, the moves are just fantastic. Don't get distracted by thinking of climbing the face on the left. You'd get to the letterbox and then there's no way out of there. Bridging is king here, and it's a great and fun way.
