Climbing could be better but, ya know, it’s the Moai. Arrived at 4:30am, slept a few hours, then hiked out there. I love Lutruwita. Single pitch.

self belaying most of this on a gri gri and with a big bag was not the highlight of the day!

This is pretty great, but a bit reach dependent I think. I dit it all first go, but after watching Emma working out the hard bit, and pre-clipped to her gear, so only really led from the second bolt/crux. Still really awesome, can't wait to lead it properly and get onto pitch 2 to get humbled.

Proud to have dogged this as I was pretty intimidated with the idea. Managed the awkward start, but got shut down on the delicate face. Hard 4th (?) clip! Got the rest without much trouble, but that one move didn't go even on TR. Did it all in 1 pitch.

Part of an absolutely hectic 17 hour day to rig a highline between the Moai and the mainland.

An amazing experience to climb this little tower sitting by itself off the main cliff line. The climbing itself was also very good quality.

What a way to round off the Tassie trip, sick adventure down to the Moai and had a stellar time ripping up Ancient Astronaut. Some sussy bolt positions that made it a bit more gripping than it probably needed to be, sick climbing though

Spooge on the first half made it very difficult. After taking the first fall, it became a boulder problem. Eventually got it, gripped out of my mind holding the undercling with tension on slippery footholds to place a few cams. Finished the route up the easy way skipping last 2 bolts. The route, the climbing and the position were awesome

The second pitch has a four star hand and finger crack for about 2 metres. I thought I needed two 60m ropes to abseil to the Moai but a single would have been fine since you're going from ledge to ledge.

The first pitch is like an 8 and we didn't bother roping up, but the second pitch was very cool. Was in a bit of a rush and fatigued so I feel like I didn't really get to appreciate the experience.

Holy moly was I gassed. Self belaying with a heavy pack on a gri-gri with a stiff static rope. What a route for an escape, not bac at all. Worth a climb (not like it's optional)

How good! A bit out of my bracket right now, but once I figured out the first two cruxy bits, I sent it from the first ledge all the way up to the top first go. Got to come back.

A bit spoodgy down the bottom, not surprising as the belayer was getting sprayed by the waves. Sticking direct up the crack is hard af as well, but likewise can be made easier going our left.

Amazing! 1 Pitch. Had a lap putting the draws up and stick clipped past the crux. Tried it again on the way down and couldn't work it out so had the next shot on top rope to try and work it out. Managed to stick it straight away and went all the way to the top. Should have lead it.

Definitely an engaging route at a few points. The arete made for some interesting climbing hugging the rock and trying to peek around the corner to find holds. Made me spend a lot of time trying to rest and thinking about which position I needed to be in to move off into the next sequence. The crux on blunt instrument also took a while to explore the options and finally commit to the moves. Real good.

So happy I gave this a go, but jeez that was tricky, even on top rope. Required some very high feet and committing moves. I think Jordan may have slightly hoisted me up on the crux at the fourth bolt, but gave it a good shot after this and did the second pitch clean.

Did it as two pitches as described but the belay ledge is super awkward and a pain with an 80m rope, would suggest doing as one (maybe it’s too wondery 🤷‍♀️). Either way great fun/exposure. Totally worth pumping myself out flaking the 80m three times over because of my terrible rope management!
