Ascents in Carborundum Wall

burly off the ground but a fun climb.

Lead pitches 2, 4, 6 w/ David. The real adventure was getting back to the ground. Dodging a large toaster at the first anchor's an experience I'll never forget ... Will return to lead pitches 3 and 4b.

Lots of scary loose rock. Worth doing for the nice moves in the crux pitch though.

Not bad. Couple of don't fall sections above ledges on the second pitch. Plenty of interesting rock. Rapped down Airtime on double 60's.

Fun

Lead the first, third and fifth pitch. Lots of wasps nest on the second pitch but off line of bolts. Rapping down down via 'Airtime over Pumicestone' on a single 70m rope is not recommended.

Good fun on a lovely day. Lead the 24 variation on the 4th pitch which made it more challenging. Rapping down the same way took a long time

This was awesome, first two pitches were sloper after sloper felt a little scary but so much fun Easy up through the roof balancy move with huge exposure to get out to the bolt on the bulge And That's where it ended, couldnt get the next move down Can't wait to try again this may be my new favorite route

Oh left 2 draws up there if anyone is up there before I get another chance

Tough for a 20

First day of multi pitching! Route is great in places, but lots of loose rock, vegetation and wandering pitches. Reached the top on sunset and rapped down by starlight, which was somewhat thrilling.

Awesome.

Had to pull on draws to get over the grade 24 pitch 4b

Used 2x60m ropes and rapped in three pitches. Was an epic descent !

The route description needs to be updated. See my comment for a suggested route description update.

This climb was great, but the description definitely needs updating, see Frank Evans comment for a better and more accurate description on the climb, and rap out.

Rapped with 2x60m ropes on the Airtime anchor,easy to the ground,but high chance to get rope stuck in the bushy gully.

Ignoring how weak I was that was really good climbing. Would certainly fit in on upper slider wall. Lots of good movement on just-good-enough edges.

The crux pitch (21) has an airy move out of the cave, and my reach made the crux move up to the belay ledge a bit harder. Will crush it next time.

Great day out! Due to a late start we only did the first 4 pitches.

More moistness, a good climb but.

Lead pitches 1, 3, 5 and 6.

Fun but kinda chossy. We abseiled down Air Over Pumicestone with 2x 60m ropes. Straight down the bushy gully for about 40m. Then small belay ledge on left. Again straight belay to anchors under a tiny overhang on right. This is a pretty uncomfortable belay, especially for 4 people. Rope probably would reach next set of rings. Then rap to ground.

Absolute choss-fest from midway through the second pitch until the top.

The crux moves on pitch 3 were great. The exposure and position is incredible and the wind blasting around the face gave it an "out there" feeling, but these ~2 bolts of climbing are the only reason I didn't rate this route "Don't Bother" or even "Crap".

With a bit of work the first 3 pitches could be cleaned up to make this a nice route. I can't speak for the grade 24 pitch-4 variant, but I would definitely not do the top 3 pitches every again.

Rapping down with a single 60m rope was an absolute pain too. To the aspiring chossateer: Take two ropes! Rapping back down the route took 6 raps (the description claims you can make it from the Airtime anchors to the start of pitch 4 but this was no way possible). Some pitches required traversing raps using quickdraws to hold the rope in place, fixing the rope to the next anchor and the second removing the draws. And pitch 4 requires an overhanging rap a few metres past the anchor and then scrambling back up.

Pitch 2 can be rapped straight downwards and join the Leaving On a Jet Plan chains rather than rapping the traversing pitch 2.

Dangerous, chossy and convoluted to rap. A hold pulled off in my hand, and I have to climb with far too much caution of the loose rock for it to be fun.

Nice day out - well-bolted all the way up. Pitch 3 is the stand out. After that it gets wandery and chossy. We did the grade 17 variant for pitch 4. I'd probably rap from the top of pitch 3 if I did it again, or give the 24 a go. Definitely take at least 2 extended draws, possibly more, and use liberally. Also take note of the start, we accidentally did the first pitch of remains of the day and traversed left for about 5m to get back on route from remains of the day anchors. We took up two ropes at rappelled in 4 sections. From top of pitch 6 to 4, then to the anchors of pitch 3. From there is a great rap down to top of pitch 1. It'd be awkward to rap it with only 1 rope. (Though you could possibly make 6 to 4 with a 70 or 80m rope.)

Great route with an awesome feature on the crux, got to the last anchor and scrambled for the summit trending left, definitely cooked out in the sun, save this one for a summer afternoon or wait till winter.

Decent line, at least for the first three and a half pitches. The quality of the crux pitch is somewhat marred by the choss between the bottom anchor and the roof. We abseiled Airtime in 3 raps with double 60m ropes.
