Ascents in West Face (Main Area)

Repeat. I find this climb harder than the 21 next to it. Scary little crux.

Ticked this first go today. Tried it a couple of years ago & got scared.

Great climb with a fun bouldery start. Took me three goes. First time the crux scared me, second time I changed my beta as I got in to the crux & third shot felt really good, even though it was starting to get rather wet. I was a bit shaky after the crux.

Brilliant face climb! Mostly good positive holds with beautiful movement. Climbed it clean to the crux, but fluffed my foot onto the rope.

As usual for me, a poor second shot. Excuses include fatigue from the day before, and trying to rush. Two falls.

Great climb. Nice not using the tree too.

Good warm up. Thought provoking.

Thin fun.

With a bolted variant finish starting at the left hand of the p5 ledge

With 17 end pitch

What a hoot!! Easy climbing with mega exposure and amazing view.

Easy climbing with awesome exposure, with the three sisters in the background

Very enjoyable outing, particularly via the Cynics United first pitch. Nicely sustained with a couple of intimidating-but-actually-ok sections at the start of the 2nd and 3rd pitches. Led the 1st and 3/4th pitches.

I'm going to bump my rating to Classic, simply because it has consistent quality climbing that flows really nicely. Makes a great warm-up as it has nothing tweaky and raises a good flash pump.

1st Mick 2nd Me 3rd Mick 4th Me 5th Mick All flashed, not difficult, easy day out. Stupid carrots.

Nice climb. Well protected.

Very dirty, don't bother. A lot of broken holds too.

Nude night ascent. More fun than I thought possible.

Sustained good fun climb. The girdle is the best part.

1st pitch nice warm up, good holds, perfect 18. 2nd pitch is probably the most radical sport climb I've done in the Blue mountains (with the shittest finish). 3rd pitch solo scramble out.

Pumpy, fun, good holds, great view.

Thin to big holds. Interesting little area.

Super cool climb! I thought the grades were generous (or I was feeling strong). Two hardish sections on P1 and one on P2, but overall really good climbing on solid rock. The rest is very pleasant and easy jug haul. Great exposure! (No loose rocks anywhere anymore) Loved it!

Lead pitch 1, 4, 5. First moves were burly as expected. Stu combined pitch 2 & 3 to make for one long pumpy rope-dragging affair! Pitch 4 felt hard for the grade, not sure if just a result of fatigue from a long pitch prior (?) but it had a couple of decent big enough moves that would have been hard for a shortie. Over-rated? Enjoyable/glad it's been done, but not totally sure I would have given it 3 stars.
