The Organ Pipes Teardrop Gully
18 Ano's Sojourn - with Rach Trad 10m Good
Punchy little climb. Good fun

 
16 Funemployment - with Rach Trad 14m Average
Bit awkward and off-balance, but good holds appear and keep it ok for the grade.

 
18 Suzerain - with Rach Trad 32m Classic
Absolute classic! One of the best pure crack pitches around this grade I’ve done on the mountain.

21 Lactos - with Chris Speer Trad 20m Very Good
Felt like I snuck up on this one today. After work session on a beautiful evening. Jumped straight on, went way better than expected, back home in time for dinner and tv on the couch. 👍

The Organ Pipes The Columns
23 Ultrasound - with Chris Speer Trad 35m Classic
Bloody hell. Struggle town! Maybe one day.

 
21 Holiday in Cambodia - with Chris Speer Trad 35m Mega Classic
So stoked! Such a classic line and right on my current limit, making it a really satisfying send. Super pumped and nearly peeled off, but milked the rests so hard.

 
Wed 22nd Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Flange Buttress
16 Hard Pink Car - with Shirley Trad 50m Good
Old school 16. Some thrutching, some foliage (but not too much) and some cool moves. Lead both pitches and exited left into the top of Brown Madonna. Beautiful after work adventure with a cloud inversion sunset below. What a place!

The Organ Pipes The Columns
21 Holiday in Cambodia - with Chris Speer Trad 35m Mega Classic
So good. I’ve said this before, but lead next time!

19 Easy Ethnic Cornflake - with Chris Speer Trad 30m Good
Nice little route!

 
Sat 18th Nov 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes The Columns
20 The Shield - with Chris Speer Trad Very Good
Lead the first pitch which was a bit damp and vegetated. Fell seconding the offwidth start to the second pitch. Second pitch follows a really cool (although a little unnerving) feature.

21 Lactos — 3 attempts - with Shirley Trad 20m Very Good
First lead attempt. No surprises here. Felt hard and pumpy, but keen to keep at it. Couple of top rope shots as well.

21 Lactos - with Rach, Chris Speer, Shirley Trad 20m Classic
Harder than I remembered! Great route though.

 
19 Glam - with Rach, Chris Speer, Shirley Trad 15m Average
Bottom half was soggy. Gear didn't inspire confidence in shallow, wet, flaring placements. 2 nice jamb moves, then found the top section hard. Take an extra 0.5 next time. One fall at the top.

 
Sat 15th Jul 2023 - Sand River
BBQ Crag The Balconies
19 Tarzan - with Kyle Sport 9m, 5 Good
Packs a lot into a short little climb. Was pretty pumped at the end of the day and had to use the tree.

18 Riffraff Roof - with Amps, Sas Sport 20m, 10 Classic
19 No more heroes - with Amps, Sas Sport 18m, 11 Average
Didn’t have a good time on this today. Not sure if I’ve changed or the climb has since last time I did it. The large block down low that you want to stand on is very unsettling and vibrates/bounces with obvious detachment on a couple of sides. Can’t remember if this is new. Crag was crowded today so didn’t want to try too hard to remove it. Whatever the case, I struggled to pull the moves above this as well which I thought were ok last time.

North Ridge
21 Invasion Day - with Rach Sport 12m, 5 Average
Least I climbed something clean all day.

 
18 Buena Vista Social Club - with Katrin Sport 12m, 5 Average
Started up the 19 to the left by accident. Frozen hands and cryptic holds made this a sub-optimal warmup.

 
21 Valentine - with Rach, Katrin Sport 17m, 8 Classic
Another really good route. Fun crack moves.

 
20 Sunbeam - with Rach, Kyle Sport 15m, 9 Very Good
Awesome climb! The sustained steep moves soon make you forget about a few bits of suss rock near the bottom. Spat me off right at the top.

Happy to get to the top currently. So good.

 
22 Sponge Bob - with Amps, Martin Brown Sport 12m Very Good
Backed off. Didn't want to destroy myself for the rest of the day.

 
17 High Noon - with Amps, Martin Brown Sport 10m, 4 Very Good
21 Shock Wave - with Amps, Martin Brown Sport 13m, 5 Classic
Heart break at the last move! Can't believe my thigh hook move didn't work!

Great addition.

Felt hardder than I remembered. So amazing though!

 
20 Icarus - with Rach
2 30 Trad lead by Cameron Semple
3 36 Trad
4 15 Trad
Trad 81m Classic
So good! Straight into it with the intimidating start, but plenty of gear if you brought enough. Did as two pitches and led both. Had a couple of hangs on the first pitch.

 
Sun 19th Feb 2023 - Mount Wellington
The Organ Pipes Bulging Buttress
18 Black Magic - with Rach Trad 55m Classic
Split it into two pitches so we could do some leading each. Such a good route.

 
17 Jelly Roll - with Rach Trad 35m Very Good
Sat 21st Jan 2023 - Fortescue Bay
Canoe Bay Crag
17 Easy Rinse, Repeat - with Chris Speer Trad 18m Good
Classic fun crack.

 
18 Hard Anchovy Arete - with Chris Speer Trad 18m Very Good
Happy to get through this in the end. Moves are all there, but the gear placements are thoughtful. Wasn’t seeing nut placements well and was getting mega pumped while trying to figure them out.

 
16 Salt Flakes - with Chris Speer Trad 18m Very Good
Very enjoyable route. Steep bridging and an exciting finish.

 
18 Lost Bounty - with Chris Speer Trad 22m Good
Absorbing. Strenuous start.

 
20 Zodiac - with Chris Speer Trad 22m Very Good
Couldn’t make it through the initial groove. Steep and tricky to read. The headwall is glorious.

 
17 The Bow - with Chris Speer Trad 16m Good
Cool positions. Think I made things harder than necessary around the first bolt. Rock is a bit friable in places.

 
17 Just Right - with Chris Speer Trad 17m Very Good
Great position. Tricky start. Be cautious of the block at 2/3 height.

20 Halleluja - with Jai
1 18 Trad lead by Cameron Semple

Phil's Crack: Nice enough. I potentially made the bottom section a bit easier by bridging off the rock behind.

2 17 Second lead by Jai

Clean corner hand crack up onto the pillar. Tricky mantle after the arete and face. Nicely lead by Jai.

3 19 Trad lead by Cameron Semple

Nice pitch. Needed a bit of cleaning, but was dry. Obviously gets very wet.

4 20 Trad lead by Cameron Semple

Telopea: The stand out pitch. 3 stars I reckon. Steep and sustained with awkward (for me) crack sizes. Some mild shrubbery (hence the name) in the headwall crack added to the difficulties. A bit dissapointed to take a hang after nearly all the hard bits were done with.

5 14 Second lead by Jai

Nice way to finish and top out. We split it into two as the rope got caught in a groove and the drag was horrible.

Trad 120m Very Good
Very worthwhile. Full height routes like this, with no bolted belays and requiring some thought for the descent really adds to that "adventure in our backyard" feel. Reinforced for me how lucky we are to have this place so close. Route finding was obvious and the descent was easier to find than we were expecting. Which was lucky as we got back to our packs right on dark. Such a great day.
