Ascents in Central Cliffs

Mega classic easy grade multi in an amazing seaside location.

May have been slightly off beam at the start which made it a tad harder but otherwise it's 13 all the way to the top.

Probably 15

This was an excellent route - first pitch only, even the chimney was great

A bit. Contrived as you step into DD briefly, and the move back right favours long arms. The thin cracks at the start were nice

The starting crack was good, but over too soon. Seems to head into the route to the left, though we stayed out of the chimney which is easy when you aren’t worried about gear!

Not as good as the original, the traverse right to join BB is best done quickly on a low spooge day

FFA. Definitely a nicer way to get high up in this area than the HR or the LR with minimal gully exposure.

FFA. Grade from the exit traverse, though good moves from the start. The linking traverse done low is kinder IMO having done them both, as the gear post traverse feels better. But the upper line is good too.

FFA. Team FFA, amazing what a bit less humidity can do. Interesting to compare our sequences which were quite different, especially on the left traverse. Worth the long walk from killiecrankie instead of Docks forachange

FFA. I just wanted to get above the wall of the gully, but this climb was great, gear just kept coming, with some airy technical moves on the arete

FFA. If it wasn't for the start it would be classic, still damn good, amazing rock, and solid lead by Dave

Lead it with a couple of falls, then top roped a couple of times. Can do it clean with my umbilicus at first bolt, but starting off the ladder is a touch too low for me to get established and very finger skin destroying so it wasn’t worth more time. Lovely moves on flakes and lots of gear. Generously bolted.

Fantastic route at the grade through outrageous rock architecture. The bollard to abseil off at 60 m is quite wide, 2m of tat needed. The existing tat is ok, but very sun bleached.

Alt leads with Dave ( who is a pitch hog as he linked 1 and 2 and 4 and 5. ) however I got the best belay at the top of pitch 3 in the cave with amazing threaders. The climb took less time, and was far more pleasant than the descent- we went via Sedgies gully, not recommended.

Up there as one of the great 13's! Party of 4 and great times had! Eats gear and a fun day out

Forst pitch is slick and thrutchy, second pitch is amazing stepping out around the arete and blasting up the head wall with good gear and good holds was a dream, Hannah absolutely crushed this line on 2nd! Was worried about getting to the horn as I was at full extent vut she cruised it!!

Mathieu's first lead climb, done as a trad multipitch simulclimb

Possibly the best easy multipitch in tassie. Great Rock and position.

Nice flake sequence

The first roof and just after were harder than the second. Some quite tricky moves

A long battle, dropping it on only on the exit move when the base of the v groove after the slanting hand crack was full of loose rock and dirt, with a larger loose boulder on top of the sedge and I decided I needed a #4 and a clean. I set up a belay 10 m from the top on hands free ledge below final crack and then climbed on. Great climbing, rock a little crumbly in spots.

Run out old school start on the chimney slab into lost in space territory gaining the arete, super enjoyable line
