Ascents in Coffs Harbour

Good moves in the cave but a bit friable and snappy pulling the lip…

So good, didn't do the sketchy top out

A high quality, unsuspecting find!

Ow

Good wee problem, start is crimpy.

Also very fun problem! Gets progressively easier the higher you go which is always nice:)

Awkward problem, maybe I just didn’t figure it out properly. Also felt very hard for v2

Upper body and a smear and scramble got me to the top but I couldn't get the mantle.

After some beta I tried again. My second attempt was aborted due to not having the pads beneath me as I attempted a mantle.

Possible sitstart too which is still the same grade I reckon

Good, punchy start.

Fun problem! Steep with good holds and crimpy a bit higher up:)

Indeed perhaps best avoided. Easy climbing but scary exploding holds high above jumbled boulders. Climbed up and down a few times before committing to top.

Great movements, although the rock is suspect which can add to it if it's your thing.

Impressive line. Climbed up and down a couple of times before committing.

Awesome arete with a picturesque view

Scary

Great, interesting problem. Potentially easier than first quoted.

From what I've gathered the FAionist did not use a big flake out right. He climbs the line solely following a small seam in the wall, which results in awkward bottom moves because of a weird layback position. However to me the line seems to be a straight-up rather than a slight diagonal. And even if it is a diagonal the big flake out right is basically in your face so there is no reason not to use it, it's not too far out of any of those lines. I climbed it standstarting with the flake and left hand side pinch. I would say this way it's 7A/V6 at most, maybe a bit harder if you're small. Linking into the flake from the intended sitstart position is very easy so it doesnt change anything. Now if you cannot use the flake (in which case I would say its an eliminate line) then its a bit trickier to navigate the sitstart and it seems likely that you are forced to use the "razor"-crimp and left hand hole to reach the top crux holds. Apart from this the sequence is basically the same. I'd guess if you insisted on the eliminate version without the flake it might be harder than V6 but I'd be a bit surprised if it would be any harder than french 7B. Regardless of all of this: stellar line, very appealing since the block is the only one around. Had a great time playing on this one. Big props to Travis for sharing.

Not V9 but nice moves. Climbed from sitter both with and without the flake on the right, doesn’t make a huge difference. V4??

Repeated both with and without the flake out right, I reckon it's only marginally easier with it. Felt V5ish?

Amazing bloc, took a few sessions to sort out an effective sequence. The holds are definitely like razors and rip your tips up but so worth it.

Did it in 2 parts and am sure to send next time when fresh, so feels highly over graded. V5 max v6 imo. Super fun moves though. Best line on the boulder I think!

Really epic line, precise movements, beautiful top out. The name suits as RH crimp is super sharp. Not v9 but could be body type dependent, maybe v7/8?

Super sick moves. Finger lock. Mono crimp and gastons

Had to pop for the last hold, was a bit scary

Amazing bloc. Killer line.

Probably done before. Pleasant.

Great little move.

Not sure on the intended beta but I got up it.

Small crimp and high foot for the last move
