What a great climb! Loved the combination of pumpy, techy climbing and bomber gear. It was definitely a battle for me - the horrifically overcammed #0.4 on the last stretch was a testament to how stupidly pumped I was by the end.
Really great, but very very dirty at the moment. I have done Toyland before but that was many many years ago. Top roped to get the gear back off Toyland after Liz decided she didn't want to go up.
Great climb, if sharp and thin. Rather than 0.75 cam in Blue Mts guide, 0.5 cam much better placement in the same break (really obvious). Crispy fingertips that's for sure but a great piece of rock.
Flash, placing all gear on lead. Super-stoked! Right up there with the best of the best cracks in the Blueys. One cruxy move surrounded by sustained, strenuous climbing and bomber pro the whole way. This has been the ultimate goal on my crack-climbing tick list for 4 years, and it was worth the wait. Next stop: Grasshopper! Thanks for the beta, JengA.
A lovely long wall, very consistent and sustained, but with some certain technical bits on small holds/footholds. There are some great rests, so keep pushing through!
Done in the growing dark with a headlamp. Looooong and brutally sharp. No real stopper move, but consistently thin, delicate, technical and thought provoking. Classic marathon slabbing, with a bit of a sting in the tail.
