Really happy to finally get on this route. I think I first looked at Dangars 10 years ago and imagined what it would be like. Well, it was great and certainly delivered. Really good clean climbing in parts (particularly on P1-P3), but plenty of loose blocks (P3-P5), and a few chossy teetering towers here and there and we even a couple of passing showers thrown in the mix to keep us on our toes. Pretty good wire placements throughout despite the routes reputation, need to be careful with cam placements though this rock spits them out pretty easily. Probably a few sections that warranted a stiffer grade (16-17), but I guess that the nature of a choose your own adventure, slightly wandering route. Linked P1 & P2, seconded P3, linked P4 & P5. Climbed on twin 60’s. Good times

Epicly good route. Climbing days don't get much better than this. Paul and I rapped the falls with a 200m static (70m left over) and climbed out in a couple hours. The walk in was quite easy, but we were thinking of doing a couple routes in one day. We stayed left of the obvious ledgey chossy route (11?) and had about 3-4 significant cruxes on the route. Only about 15 total meters of loose rock, generally good stuff and pro where you need it. The hardest sections for us were getting to the ledge mentioned for the belay if p2-3. Then the steep juggy section into a sweet 3m handcrack at the first 10m of pitch 3. And then a good but hard finger crack (arcing left) about 40m from the top and the final topout (definitely not the crux of the route we took as the guide sugests) with some blank pro and mega exposure. Great day. But more like 16-17 than 14.

Epic and beautiful. We went of route almost all the way. It is "a little" bit sketchy with quite a lot of loose rocks at the last pitch.

Big time adventure! Easily one of the most scenic multis I've done awesome setting next to the waterfall, got quite wet. Not sure if we were on the right route the whole time but it was a complete choss fest! Very awesome topping out

A really nice route with techy gastons, laybacks and compression moves. Will it go? We think so, probably better attempted when the rock isn't seeping from the previous days rain. Oh yeah, mind the spiders and bird shit.

Hard! Has to be something hiding around the buldge. Again, a bit too wet to make it work today. A nice low-ball.

A nice find by Al. He was all over It until a crucial foot went astray and turned a tight gaston into inspiration for the name of the climb.Under the rooflet I ended up heading left where Al went right. Scope for an alternate finish out right into M.E.T.ext. Nice and fingery with small feet.

Good fun. An easy one to keep throwing yourself at to try and get to the block a little easier than Thor's Traverse.

Love this dyno. That feeling when you launch high with total concentration off great pockets, only to miss the finish hold and free fall backwards into the cool watery depths. First shot is always a warm/psych up. I landed a left on the finish hold on my second attempt but couldn't stick it. At least it feels like it'll go now. Haven't been entirely convinced until now.

Feell at pretty well same place as last time. It feels harder than superheroes, but I think that's misleading as it just takes ages to get to the crux

Jumped on to warm up, was a little blase and almost fell off a meter in. Also dabbed the water as I rounded the crux. Should Dab be a legit DWS tick type? I guess it doesn't benefit you like it would touching a pad, but it is also a gauge of quality so why not?

Watched Benji clutch desperately at what he said was not a good hold and decided to give try it, lo and behold I stuck it and wicked stoked to unlock the next couple meters to the super juicy birds nests.

Felt great, hit the dyno perfect on the first time for the first time (instead of slapping, fall, catch, re-adjust and go again) and then moved to the roof jugs statically. Had an explore through the next 4 or so moves before splashing down

Second burn after I watched Ben Vincent unlock the whole traverse. Was a bit sloppier this time, got dyno only on second try like before, was a little pumped at the birds nest and didn't recover much. Got onto the crux hold, feet need to be way further around
