Ascents of Penny Arcade

James led P1. Spicy traverse and start moves for the grade.

I linked the top two pitches on lead. Nice variety of movements for grade 18 and good position next to the arete.

Spicy traverse!

A great quick to access multi that has a pleasant gritstone padding style to it.

Dogged part of pitch 1 which is a tad spicy in the corner and traverse. Redpointed pitch 2 and seconded pitch 3. Nice conditions this time of year being in shade in the morning. 2.5hrs car to car (from picnic area)

Nice route. P1 was a brief fight before the traverse. Had a lot of trouble with frozen numb fingers on P2. The walk off the top was problematic with fallen dead trees blocking the way

Hard start off the log, straight into the crux. Awesome airy positions on the upper pitches. Dogged up the first pitch. Second 2 pitches clean.

great climb up a fine arete which holds some fantastic balancy moves. The first pitch has the best and trickiest moves.

nice movement along a good set of holds. Arete movements are lovely

Lead pitches 2+3, 18 draws let's you run them

Funny business on P1. Rest went down nice.

Linked p1 and p2. Awesome multi with heaps of great moves.

3 really nice pitches despite the 50kph winds trying to blow us off. Led P1, interesting starting log

Climbed as a 3. Bloody excellent first pitch and two more interesting ones after. Awesome multi - I can't see how it doesn't get more traffic! Didn't get sun til 2pm. P1 - onsite lead, P2 - Jimmy (me 2nd clean), P3 - Lucas (me 2nd clean)

a great day being dragged here there and everywhere by Chance himself

super reclusive spot, heaps of interesting stuff to explore, bit damp on the climb but nothing we couldnt handle. I led first & third pitches

A nice little multi to finish out the day while the sun goes down? Why not! Ended up a bit off route 3 draws up, and fell trying to get back onto it. Lowered off, retied, and sent it clean. I led P1, Taib led P2 and P3 (combined). Really awesome first pitch, with a bit of everything thrown into 18m of climbing. Top 2 pitches are stretching the limit of the grade, but are interesting, exposed, and mostly good rock. This really should get done more.

Technical corner after weird pole. good stuff. After, the traverse to the arete is VERY balancy. Fell twice on it, trying to dyno and bite the blunt arete... And then decided to go with the hands on the break instead of feet!! Heheh!! It worked! Combined pitch 2 and 3. Awesome climb!

dogged a move on first pitch, flashed pitches 2 and 3

Flapped around on P1 then pulled the rope and did it clean. Niall p2. Me p3. Do it!

w-AD

Good, but scared by the telephone pole

P1 and P2, Roger P3.
