Ascents of Tetragrammaton

First pitch clean, second pitch found the lower bit fine but spat off a metre from the top when it’s way too wide for my fists

Pretty sustained top pitch.

great climb. only did second pitch. #0.5-#3, it's a wide range! v. overhanging.

just the 2nd pitch exiting NMMNG, quite a fun little hand crack, will have to come back for pitch 1.

Tried to finish up the top pitch as a direct finish to NMMNG. Found it much harder than it looks. Dave ended up sending a line down for me to prussic up after I fell off and ended up swinging in space.

Finished up the second pitch after NMMNG

Some burly crack to wake me up

Followed first pitch, led second. Worth three stars but it is hard! So so moist with sea mist

Just the crux pitch after NMMNG. So hot and definitely harder than 20. Not too many steep ringlock and fist cracks get 20.

Just the second pitch, exiting from NMMNG. Engaging would definitely be an accurate descriptor. I don't know what conditions the route is usually under, but it was definitely an exhausting process putting in a jam, realising that the crack is lined with dirt, removing the jam, brushing down as much of the crack as possible with my arm, wiping my hand down on my shirt and pants, then placing the jam back into the slightly damp crack, ready to repeat with the other hand.

Thanks to Henry for donating me the only 3 grains of chalk he had left when I realised I'd foolishly forgotten to refill my chalk bag. I can't say it did much to help with the actual climbing but it did warm my heart.

Inner trad trad told me to jam the overlap on P1 when I should have just laybacked. Will need to come back to do it clean. Got through P2 clean while seconding Nick with some teeth-gritting fist jams. Top pitch was quite dirty, would be worth a brush on the abseil down.

....happy to support

Really good

Really hard

Haven't been this chewed up and spat out by a crack in a loooooong time.

Smooth as hell up the first 20m (to the first anchor) then got demolished about a millimetre from the top in a surprise savage fist jamming sequence which I never made it to last time I was here. Overhanging fist jams and ringlocks on a 20? Yeah sick.

21 huh, sure did feel beat up by the wide bit on the second pitch. First pitch was nice, second is a bit dirty & sandy in places.

Awesome climbing. I did 1st and Jenna did 2nd pitch.

P2. Hard fist jam move.

Had to try pretty hard on this one

Went down to NMMNG but found the belay spot to be underwater... Decided to try going up the first pitch of Tetragrammaton but had some sort of crack death instead.

Failed to stay focused.

Interesting to see this gets 21 here. Nearly shit my pants heading over the overhanging wall on the abseil. First pitch gets 18 in Gerry's new guide but it's far harder than this (19 or 20). A long pitch of very sustained jamming, quite excellent. Second pitch is one of the most (no, the most) outrageous positions I've been in at Freycinet and probably ever in my short time climbing. The sequences were tricky but all there, and probably fair at 20/21. Great gear throughout the whole route. Very chuffed with the on-sight after my deliberation to attempt it. Watched a pod of dolphins swim by whilst eating cheese and crackers when we finished. A great way to finish an excellent trip.

Nice to second and cheer Rach on. What a route.

Just the top pitch, it's a powerful crack.

Good Job Rachel on the Lead. Chucked in the deep end and tried my best. Failed hard on the first pitch but gave the second a better go. Motivated me to keep learning crack climbing skills before attempting something this hard again.

found it very to hand jam a crack bigger than my hands

Just the second pitch to top out NMMNG. Whaaaaat harder than it looked! Bit spoogy and crusty up top, but awesome! Had to dig deep and go full primal to get up thos.

Jamming muscles were dead, hangdogged up on second Only did the first pitch. What a quality line.

Body needed more rest, hands needed more skin. Will come back.
