Flake was a little hollow but apart from that quite a fun ordeal. If they rename these climbs I vote this one to be called Finless.

Great fun, the one and only bolt has a couple of moves before it which would make for a very bold lead! First bolt clipped would be essentially TR. TRS

In one pitch. One of two great days out climbing with Scott, Shawn, Sandra, Toby, Kyle, and Dan! Did this route as a re-introduction, as well as a handful of other slabs, cracks, and faces around the second pyramid. A great couple days out!

18 | ★★ The Other Dimension | 65m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
A long walk out to normo from bald creek.. even longer for yim who left his shoes at the sphinx the day before. He didnt find them, brissie rock climbing club poached them, so in a touching rekindling of old traditions bourn on our attempt on black light last year, i found myself lobbing my katanas off the tree belay for yim to climb the first pitch in. The line was easy enough to find despite the complete absence of info on thecrag (love it). Some grotty crack work that made me feel grateful for having been exposed to heinous cracks at araps. An uncomfortable belay ledge that i was constantly slipping off and had to haul on the tree every few minutes. Yim guided the last pitch and i followed barefoot as it looked straight forward enough.. turns out fontainbleu charles is a machine and barefoot climbing is fucked. I remember thinking thank fuck im on belay. Less thankful upon mantling the flake and seeing yim rain-baking up top, fully reclined. I may need to re-explain hip belaying. I could fully remember the scramble down from the summit from 17 years ago when i climbed it with my dad as an 8 yr old. Really nice day.

Had a lot of fun on this one. 1st pitch a bit thin on gear but manageable, 2nd pitch way more comfortable (at least if one follows the flake instead of going straight up ) Takes a lot of small gear.

First time seconding on trad gear.slid down half the rock trying to get to the start. First pitch was nice, second pitch I followed Yim’s sketchy runout and ended up laying flat for a minute before finding feet again. Great fun!

Absorbing and engaging. Unreal line. The top 1/3rd is wild. Came off about 50cm from the top rail... Had three cracks from the last bolt with the final shot ending in me flipping upside down... S/O to the first aid crew at the bottom 🤪 will be back!
