Ascents in Australia by Nick Morgan

Not sure why I thought this was well bolted last time I was on it..third bolt is a bit of a stretch to place and slightly insecure..potential deck time. Nice climb though!!

A lap with the RH finish

Tried direct for something different..didn’t feel as secure but way better fall line

Clean lap. Much better. Make sure you get good gear in before leaving the nob

Dubious tactics, but I like my ankles. Pre-placed a couple of nuts in the initial seam from RH corner before back down to start direct. Fell off anyway, and had a nice gentle ground massaging bungee

Verrry maxed out on double aretes. Will have to try something a bit different for my span maybe

Clean first try on this but used the right wall to get established, and after a second razz (and re-reading the name) realising it’s obviously out. Very nice!

Outrageously gooood!!

Maybe worked out a sequence for top bolt..still struggling at 4th

Better than expected after a little while off local rock..

Surprisingly nice. Top corner pitch only

Not sure if I didn’t like it because I got spanked or cause it’s kinda shitty. Weird route..

Couple of toppy laps after work

Figured out beta for 2nd bolt, still spicy and tough to the top..stick to R side of arete. Medium nuts (red/blue walnut) near the top. Harrrd for 22..but nice climbing once cracked

Kinda got spanked by this on lead. Tough to read and weird swing potential..

Classy face climbing. Carrots are all easy to clip and in good position

Following Patty on his FA. Cool slabby tech traverse moves into lovely arete. Nice line!!

Another good easier trad pitch..with an exciting finish

Beaut route! Bulging hand crack into intimidating window peep hole weirdness. Take a big sling for the top of pillar and finish up at DBB.

Good quality easy pitch for the grade

Quality long line..only really let down by being broken into three tiers. Big knob at top of middle tier seems solid despite appearances.

Crux of the entire weekend

Aesthetically pleasing. Strange crux.

Would be classic without the ledge. Feels right at 18 IMO

Quite the line. Can’t believe it was buried beneath the ivy for so long. Offsets and plenty of small cams for the win. Will only get better with time

New fixed hanger is great. Still for the life of me can’t really comprehend where the trad placements are supposed to be. Maybe I’m blind. Just clipped the carrots again..

Only one attempt today. Cryptic little bugger..but really nice once you work out how it works. Bit dusty, take a brush
