Ascents in Booroomba Rocks

Awesome stuff. Had to bail off the full YBR linkup as the sun was setting. Good day out!

Bloody brilliant!

Brilliant stuff, 2nd pitch was nothing but stellar slab, an onsight doesn't get better I reckon! finished up the 18 LH corner. Fun times!

Awesome, fun, exiting trad line.

Started with Moth then the epic Madrigal and the Jett Arete, continued with the yellow brick road.

Freaking fun, love this place.

Connected the first two pitches and the second half is the best part.

Followed dad up this epic one

Gorgeous setting and cruisy route to take a beginner.

Sarah was snoozing under a beanie so I didn't ask for a belay. More of a walk anyhow.

TRS'd from upper rap chains on a 70m rope, barely reached the ground on stretch. Surprised the PDF guide says you can do 2x 30m raps.

That start was so spicy! Had to fight mentally to get through this part, and trusting my placements. The vegetation does add a bit to the difficulty. Sooo much fun!

Learning to set gear, first time leading trad

this climb was bolted by a wanker. the bolts are placed just in a way where they arent doing their job properly like cmon guys how hard is it to move a bolt 30 cm higher so that you DONT smash your ankles on a ledge. this has a stupid bolting job which makes the climb bolder for no reason. i love this crag but some of the ethics demonstraited amazingly here are utter nonsense. probably 22

(Repeat) Followed Jordi and rated his gear; all excellent.

Really good; just a pity the juicy bit is not much longer.

Jordi's hardest trad lead - great effort as the crack is pretty sustained for placing gear.

Brilliant route. Fantastic complement to Fall guy. Most definitely "sustained and committing". Keeps going all the way to the top.

Pro good, but some of it hard to get in, esp at the start of the traverse.

Traverse up across and down about 40 m to rap rings, then rap 45 m all the way to the track.

Nice route. I enjoyed it. But lets be clear this is a DEATH route.

The "boulder" move is easier than 18 but it is protect by a cluster of average pieces and you are very close to the ground / ledge.

The wall above is much easier, but ... the "jugs" are "ACT granite slab jugs", ie good in-cuts, nice; but half of them are flakes that feel like they could rip off. And it is VERY poorly protected. There are a few placements, but they are tiny (three #3 RPs would be nice) and poor (shallow/behind little flakes). The thin crack at the top offers some better but still average gear, inc a micro cam.

The footers are good and the angle is low. You could probably traverse off if you got worried.

The climbing was nice, pity it was not five times longer with a few decent placement.

Nice route. Pity it was not longer!! Jordi's hardest trad lead, for a couple of hours.

what an experience!

Climbed this at night to avoid the sun, which was quite good other than the route finding being a bit harder. Really had to fight hard to send terminant corner at the end, even on second.

First multi pitch yay

Last time I (or possibly anyone) will do this route. After having a few goes on it, I pulled past the second bolt and took a regulation fall. The dogbone of my draw on that bolt had rubbed sufficiently on the rounded edge just below the bolt that when I fell it snapped. The bolt below that then pinged off the wall, and I fell nearly 10 metres. Fortunately I bounced off my heroic belayer's shoulders and slammed into some rocks. This accident could very easily have been a lot worse.

The nature of the bolting on this route lends itself to either the rope or the quickdraws rubbing against the coarse rock. There is no way to protect this route without the potential for large swings that grind your life-saving equipment against jagged edges.

I would suggest taking extreme caution to protect your draws and rope before trying this route. Extending the draws mitigates the rope drag on the edge, but you should also consider a protective material between the dogbone and the rock.

You will also need to replace the first bolt, due to its rapid departure from the wall.

dragged the old man up a climb, first time playing around with twin ropes i think its quite alot better for this sort of thing.

Only did pitch one then got rained on and down climbed it looks like a pretty good climb
