Ascents in King Rat Gully having Beta

Probably not crap, but I wore a large frown. Unhappy climber.

On dans gear

Nice climbing

I went the top sequence up the flake to the jug, Marc led traversing the bottom sequence. Very glad for the jugs on the top wall after the crux.

Still feels shit and still chasing for that first session feeling. Found another cool jam to make the crux a bit easier though.

Got it!

As Maynard James Keenan once said; “shedding skin, I’ve been picking my scabs again” that’s exactly how this climb will leave you. Skinless and bloody. Good even though I’m probably the worlds worst roof crack climber!

Fell out of a hand jam just before the gigajugs

Didnt feel good as last time

Super fun, short climb! Lead it with Elley at 6:00am in total darkness. Couldn't see my placements until the sun came up enough while I was climbing! So beautiful and a very fun, steep but mega juggy climb! Good first 18 for anyone out there.

Second shot with rak. Sit low down, but sent the entire crux section at once. Might go next time. Very fun early morning session.

Broke off to many holds to try again

Found this pretty stiff for 18. Gloriously steep.

Very happy to onsight this. Some good jams helped!

Good approach pitch.

Not too bad, thoughtful crux above gear.

Wasn't feeling too great but still managed to get up it with one take on the second bolt. Definitely can pink/red point this with another go.

Increased my trad grade by 7 by making it not trad.

By far my favourite Trad route in Araplies just because its one of the few if not the only roof crack at Arapiles. Highest grade I have done so far but definitely going to be my first 22.

Did have the rope get caught in the crack as I went up. It got jammed with the gear, any ideas on how this can be avoided?

felt nervous tying in for this one. Pretty intimidating overhang. The minute I pulled up high for the first jam I knew I was committed. So many good jugs and jams though.

Did it to clean Kristies gear. Very pumpy but probably quite tired from the trip itself. Good climb

Sooooo good!!!!!!!!! Incredible jams through a roof, every moment is absolutely incredible!

A what the heck type of climb

Should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent should’ve sent

Fitting that Ikey belayed me on this one. Equally fitting that Cal’s dad FAed it.

Gotta actually move through roofs instead of faaakin around

Just pitch one

Soooooo good

Cool climbing in a great position. A little less enjoyable than it’s counterpart but fantastic nevertheless

Wowzer!! Amazing climb! Gear was fantastic, moves were flowy, couldn’t have asked for anything more, aside from it being longer. Would have been 3 stars anywhere else, will absolutely be repeating this

Putting rope up for kate

Pretty damn close to classic

flowy climbing. appreciate having a crack you dont have to use crack technique in

nice climbing, but more pumpy than easy rider

cruxy move after the stance

cruisy and nice on jugs

fingery but cruisy and fun climb

cruisy

burly traverse

tricky start, then staircase

set the toprope from the top of the 16, hard first move then breezy
