Failed. Getting to the little RH rail was hard for me and then came off in three attempts o the move after that.

Top roped from round up anchor and finished up that route after getting through the bulge. Really nice climbing through several difficult sections which I didn't find too strenuous, certainly a much more serious prospect to lead though.

Gear spaced but good when it's there on the first pitch. Rap chains at the top can be done in one 60m rap or two 30m raps. Better than you would be lead to believe.

ice cream. had time to do one last climb before the trek back home. mentally prepared for this route including all the rests and gear placements (thanks Nic & Sarah). didn't factor in that one of the rests didn't exist, and that i would be super pumped and needed to downclimb many times after placing gear. was well rewarded with the last sunset of Arapiles and an OTR soft serve (highly recommend!)

attempted to pinkpoint the first 2/3 of the route then placed gear from the traverse to the bolts. one take from pumpiness and one take from not knowing how to protect the roof traverse. thanks to Nic & Sarah for protecting it well

Excellent line, kept me engaged all the way till the very end. The intimidating looking sections turned out to not be too bad and some of the more approachable looking moves were deceptively hard. Sorry Daniel for stealing all the good weather and leaving you with the rain once again.

Battled my way up to the roof of this one, super proud of myself for getting past the lower crux. Got pumped out of my mind overgripping and freaking out. Sat on my gear before going up through the roof, much easier than I thought it'd be.

Borderline 25. Really good climbing, maybe not quite as good as Terminal Drive (and a fraction harder), but close, and hey, you are allowed to do both ... Blew the last move on my 2nd shot. Oh, well, means I get to come back and do it again

I intended to check out Last Laugh, but I got distracted, and instead I did a little variant of Comic Relief: from the big horizontal break after the large flake, go up from the pebble in the break to a small edge; this soon rejoins Comic Relief. It's a straighter line, not much harder than (and not as good as) the original, but worth checking out if you're looking for something different...

Possible to scout out some decent gear on the L face past bolt (couple of RPs and decent small/med cams in the horizontals) - so not sure if the R is warranted. Maybe I was off route?

24 R | ★★★ Terminal Drive — 2 attempts - with Nick Murphy | 30m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Mega classic. Rapped in and put the gear in on account of being old and scared and frankly, intimidated by the route description.
Turns out it's really well protected everywhere with normal gear ... except for the slab which is really well protected by firstly a black TCU, then the crucial pink, and bomber pink TCU. A bit of everything - a crack, a slab, some weird blocky Arapilesian stuff and of course the crux-y roof to finish. Ended up doing it clean twice - blew it off the deck with cold fingers then out of the roof like everyone seems to on the first shot, then all good after that. Grade is fair. |

This route is really, really good - I'm staggered more people haven't tried it. Eventually figured everything out, although took a few goes to actually figure out where the holds were.
Went left at the 4th bolt into AHLBB because we couldn't see any holds at all straight up. Still 26 though, even doing it that way (the move up and left are both hard anyway) ... would love to hear from Gordy if he was able to solve it going straight up from the scoop-of-no-progress just after the 4th bolt. |
