Sector 4 - Graffiti Wall | ||||||||
19 | FA ★ Desperate Living | 9m | ★ Good | Tue 7th Feb 2017 | ||||
Lead with a number 3 cam in the obvious hole in 'Bomber Choss' and taped to the wall. Bouldery sequence down low leads into the top of 'Bomber Choss'. Questionable rock. Only Car Crash junkies apply!
|
||||||||
22 | ★ Desperate Living - with Pete | 9m | ★ Good | Sat 4th Jul 2020 | ||||
This climbs really excellently, just shame the gear isn't better. Soft for the grade.. soft as in sand.. in a bag. Feels probably closer to 22 (edit: assuming ELV is probably 21) - harder on toprope than ELV was to lead. Quite comparable climbs: about same height, both quite bouldery, but ELV is less sustained.. and has bolts.. and rock that probably wont kill you
|
||||||||
22 | FA Big Trouble In Little Vagina | 8m | ★ Good | Sun 30th Nov 2014 | ||||
Climbs really nicely, needs more cleaning and traffic to really clean up but once clean this will become quite a nice little addition to the face. Quite technical, with the right amount of punch to make it just right.
|
||||||||
21 | FA Bomber Choss | 8m | ★ Good | Wed 25th Jan 2017 | ||||
Climbs well. Quite a bit of pro up to about half way then run out to the top on suspicious rock. Not an ideal lead if your just climbing the grade.
|
||||||||
21 | Bomber Choss - with Pete | 8m | Average | Sat 4th Jul 2020 | ||||
Don't think this climbs too nicely compared to Desperate Living - the first section is easy if you climb it poorly and just yard up the slopers, the cruxy part through the underclings is nicer. Didn't link this today as it was impossible to see the footers in dark even with head-torch, but felt marginally easier then DL

24 | ★★ Mercey Street | 8m, 3 | ★ Good | Fri 21st Dec 2012 | ||||
Dog attempt which failed at the third bolt (not clipped). Just don't know how ti get myself in a comfortable position to clip! Hopefully I make it to the chains next time so I can sequence it together on top rope!

24 | ★★ Mercey Street - with Igor and Jin | 8m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | Mon 4th Nov 2013 | ||||
From the looks of it, probably the best climb in this crag! Crimpiness and balance with bad feet, crowning with a big deadpoint at the end! Almost an OS, but my foot slipped :S Definitely a really cool line

24 | ★★ Mercey Street - with Justin Hill | 8m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Feb 2017 | ||||
Attempted this on top rope. Made it to the top but far from clean. Couple of rests. Did all the moves but now to link them all. Very crimpy down low. Couldn't imagine leading it any time soon
|

24 | ★★ Mercey Street | 8m, 3 | Sun 16th Apr 2017 | |||||
Had a looksy and worked out the moves. Skin started hurting and was time to head off. Looking forward to getting back on this one on the next trip down.
It's not the Blue Mountains but an awesome way to spend an Easter arvo. This little wall in particular was great - techy, bouldery vert. Nice. |

got some juicy new beta and made it do the second bolt buttery smooth!
last couple of sequences also went pretty clean - first time I've been comfortable with all the movement! reckon it's time for a cheeky TR clean next sesh and then start red point burns |

Worked the moves out, but it was a struggle on lead — can I ever stitch it all together clean, while clipping?! we'll see... I kind of have to dyno the end...

24 | ★★ Mercey Street - with Callum Brett, Laurence Judd, Kachow, Mana | 8m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | Thu 10th Nov 2022 | ||||
Went for the lead burn and was so close to the send. Latched the big throw move at the top but failed to stay on as I brought my foot up. Should have investigated the new foot hold Judd found. Makes that move more stable. This will go next sesh!!

24 | ★★ Mercey Street - with Callum Brett, Ross Paynter | 8m, 3 | Thu 10th Nov 2022 | |||||
Fell at the 3rd bolt again, studied the holds for some time and tried some new feet, with some success.
|
||||||||
24 | ★★ Mercey Street | 8m, 3 | Thu 10th Nov 2022 | |||||
Found a juicy new footer that makes the top move static! Much less desperate from the ground now. First time clean and no pump. Lead with new beta next session.

It goes!! Probably been two years since I first pulled on and thought it impossible to getting the red point, albeit with only about 3 sessions of truly working at this.
One of the best lines on graff wall, the deadpointy finish definitely motivated me to keep coming back after peeling off there 4/5 timeshaha |

24 | ★★ Mercey Street — 3 attempts - with Amy Trinh | 8m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | Sat 13th May 2023 | ||||
Yes, finally!!! Kind of — got the last move (which is long, almost a dyno for me) and clipped the anchors from there. Couldn't then pull up and get pass the anchors, so it felt a bit like a semi-send... Amy reckons it's a send though, so I'll take it Will come back with Hugh to try a more glorious finish...

Made it clean to the last draw/big move.
Found a few ways to make the big move up but didn’t have the ability to move the feet and get the Victory jug. Tried the move a few time but it alluded me. Nice to see the start was still doable although marginal for me

First shot on this for a clean lead and I absolutely smash it out of the ball park! Went down like a treat. A really nice sequence down low on crimps leads to a bomber rest at the third bolt and an OK sequence to the chains. I like this! My first clean lead at 23 at Car Crash!
