Ascents in Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd by Ian.Grabowski

Led P2. P1+3 clean. Wicked route...bags of character, cool stone and features. Soft for 23 we thought.

The route I always gawped at in my very first guidebook 6 yrs ago - the position, the line, the grade etc. Today I got to climb it..a climbing milestone for me. Probably more 22 moves than 23 but with a fierce wind, some shady rock and all that exposure it didn't feel that easy! Sooo cool.

Led P2+4. Snappy rock makes for engaging climbing with surprisingly good moves - really enjoyable, especially p4...all way better than it looks. Bolt ladder is the crux.

Gets classic status because you'll never climb anything like it again. P1 is the money. P3 I went for a sandy nothing instead of the right hold early on. 2nd shot the treat. I think you could easily take a grade of each pitch in terms of the actual climbing difficulty...it's just the position that makes it feel harder.

A very hungover affair. A fall from last hold of the crux, a hang and then clean to top.

Rpt. Surprised to get this clean in the state I was in. Better than I remembered - really quite a cool route.

Hard traverse, nice middle section, easy top. Nice route actually after that initial traverse!

Went too high before crimp rail smeary traverse towards end and fell.

Rpt clean. Climbed as a 3 - 6.5hrs car to car. Led pitches 3 + 7. Sun on wall at 1330.

Rpt. Up lead, down lead to retrieve all previous leader's gear.

Rpt lead clean.

2nd burn.

Feel like I'm missing something through 4th - 5th bolt.

Awesome route. It's all there..just need to piece it together. Spicy finish as well lol.

Awesome new addition to the pass. I'd personally say it's better than BBB, up there with HC. Some incredible, memorable pitches and a brilliant day out. On sighted evens and clean seconded the odds. Pack made the first few 2nds a bit stiff! Note to future climbers: The first few pitches had some chain link bolts and my clean nose Wild Country Helium biners didn't fit through them. Lucky we had some extenders and so threaded the slings through, otherwise we would have been pretty disappointed!

Wow, what a route. Hard to get a gauge on difficulty of P1 as seconded with the backpack but dogged the hell out of it and pulled a draw or two. The moves looked and felt more like a 23 to me.

I took even leads and onsited all. Seconded all odds clean. Pitches 2, 6, 7 and 8 were INCREDIBLE. You shouldn't skip the last pitch either...was fun climbing if you ignore the bad rock quality!

Incredible. Some brilliant cruxes littered throughout a sensational climb where the fun just keeeeps onnn gooiing. One of my favourites in the blueys.

Nice little route on Pierces. Fun climbing and great cruxes on pitches one, two and four. P4 is pretty stiff for 18! Linked it with the fantastic Mirror ball (21) above to finish with a bang. Amazing.

A little late night wine-happy fun.

I had to WORK for this. That start...and then the roof...really good route.

Climbed in a 3. 7 hours car to car. Only lead pitches 2 and 8 as the others were once in a lifetime visitors so I gave them the pleasure of the good pitches.

Lead to set up for beginner to top rope.

One brief hang while working out route.

Fun route.

Such a cool route for beginners. Super fun.

Climbing with 1st timer. Perfect beginner route. Anchor bolts are way back from the edge.

F-solo to set up top rope for my girlfriend's first outdoor climb.

Climbing with 1st timer. Perfect beginner route Bolts are way back from the edge so best to take a fair bit of webbing or a few long slings (240s).
