A true tibro adventure multi. Plenty of questionable rock and plenty of runouts. Traversed from pitch 7 anchors to anchors at lip of cave to begin the ascent down caves route. 6hrs up, 1.5hrs down.

	20 Easy	★★ Sideshow Bob - with Alex 1 10 28m Second lead by Alex Easy scrambling up lichenous rock to the bolt. Bit damp in the gully. 2 13 30m Trad lead by Robert Hartley Typical nondescript Tibro access pitch. Bolts where you need them, and a nice wire near the top. 3 15 30m Second lead by Alex A 30m percussion instrument. Lots of dummy, suspicious rock at either end of this pitch. 4 16 45m Trad lead by Robert Hartley The route this pitch follows wasn't immediately obvious to me. Generally up and left from the belay, for future reference. A really nice pitch of climbing. Bolts are well spaced, but wire placements are easily found. 5 13 20m Second lead by Alex A fun little traverse. Lots of projectiles sitting in the gully. 6 20 30m Trad lead by Robert Hartley Quite a crazy looking pitch of climbing! Certainly longer than photograph's I'd seen made it appear. Great mix of jamming, stemming, and weird arm bars while you shake out your claves. The crack didn't feel like a 20 to me, perhaps closer to 18/19. I felt the hardest one or two moves were exiting the crack at the top as you step out onto the face. Rock quality within the crack was generally decent. Several portable holds on the faces either side, however. Medium - large wires and hexes were my primary protection. Plus small - medium cams. MVP: #2 hex at the top of the crack! 7 16 32m Trad lead by Robert Hartley A nice pitch of climbing with solid rock. Hangers are decently spaced but where you need them. Didn't see any placements on this pitch, but didn't feel the need for any gear. Went past the actual anchor for this pitch and belayed from the top of the second last pitch of Ross Miller Route (up and left). This made exiting via Blabbermouth easier.

A great day out with Alex! Hopefully we'll get a few more in before he racks off to Canada. Overall a fun, well protected route with a great crux pitch and smatterings of questionable rock throughout. Started up pitch 1 around 9am, topped out around 1pm. Didn't bother with the last pitch. Descent via Blabbermouth. Gear Wires & hexes (DMM 1-3) Cams: 00-4 (DMM). Doubles 0-3 if you want, and I reckon you could fit a 5 in there too.

	20	★★ Sideshow Bob - with Francois Pieterse	Mixed trad 250m, 6		Angie
P6 was the real standout, very nice crack with plenty of gear placement. A single rack is probably sufficient, having 2 cams each in the smaller sizes would make life very comfortable. The remaining pitches are alright, sparsely bolted but the bolts are there when you need them. We couldn't find how to get to SB/Blabbermouth so had to rap off Caves route instead. This took much longer than rapping off those routes and we had to walk back to Candy Mountain to grab stuff we left at the base.

Crux pitch is stellar. Still a little exfoliation, but just the right amount to add to the enjoyment. The rest of the slab climbing is basically access to this pitch.

Not a bad route! Basically a couple of Zeitgeists stacked on top of each other, welder together with a stellar stem-fest with amazing pro in the middle. Gave Chando the money pitch; he’s always so kind, thought I better pay it back

Really enjoyed this. The crack was fun with pretty good pro, used friends up to #3. It's not overbolted, but they're there when you need them. Take care for loose rock. Not sure about the pitch lengths, pitch 7 seemed more like 45m, unless we ended up at the wrong anchor. Led evens, Rachel led odds.

Stunning crazy crack. Solid grade 20 crux reminiscent of a good day out at Frog. A couple of portable holds on the stemming but gear is solid. Daniel found an old snake skin??? Idk how I managed to not see it. I led evens Daniel led odds.
	20	★★ Sideshow Bob - with Genevieve Kieseker	Mixed trad 250m, 6		Daniel Smith
I feel like this climb purely exists because someone wanted to climb that crazy crack corner thing. Regardless, I'm glad they did because definitely worth the outing. Felt as though this climb is still pretty chossy though as both Gen and I ripped off a few holes each. I led evens and gen led odds.

Led and onsighted all pitches, other than P3 & P4, when Josh took the sharp end. The crux is one of the best (mostly) trad lines I've climbed on Tibro. Very stylish bridging!

	20	★★ Sideshow Bob - with Dani Hess	Mixed trad 250m, 6	★★ Very Good	Josiah Hess
Led all pitches because Dani has a injured back. Linked pitches 3&4 and 7&8 to the top. Apart from the crux pitch the climbing is easy but the protection is spaced enough to keep it interesting and engaging. Crux pitch is one of my favorite pitches on any tibro multi so far. Thankfully the sun came out just in time to dry the top of the crux pitch as I was climbing it.

Really fun climbing! That crux pitch had a bit more spice in it than I was expecting. Awesome thought-provoking stemming with some jams sprinkled in and good pro as well. The suspect holds provoked some more thoughts. Only got a little bit lost on the way to Blabbermouth's 2nd last anchor.
	20	★★ Sideshow Bob 1 20 247m 2 3 4 5 6 7 8	Mixed trad 250m, 6		Peatey
Took the opportunity to wander up here with Sir Alex Moogie himself. Pitches 1-5 are generic Tibro slab with the occasional move to make you think. Bolts are adequate and in good condition. The crux crack is deceptively steep, airy and a calf burner. Alex linked P7 to the final anchor of SB/BB. Rapped down what we later discovered was El Scorcho on a doubled 70m. Non AMGA certified shenanigans ensued.

	20	★★ Sideshow Bob - with David Collard	Mixed trad 250m, 6	★★ Very Good	Tristan Baskerville
Really good climb, but it was a bit hot, I would probably do it earlier in the year next time. For the first pitch, the route description seemed to make sense after we had climbed the pitch. The second bolt is after the bully, not before. Climb up to the brambles and go slightly right to get to the gully. For the 4th pitch, if you get confused as to where to go near the top of the pitch, under a more vertical bit of rock, just keep climbing diagonally up and left, past the last FH until you can see the DBB.
	20	★★ Sideshow Bob - with Tristan Baskerville	Mixed trad 250m, 6	★ Good	David Collard
Led the odd pitches. Nice day out on the rock if you're not leading the crux pitch! Minimal natural protection on my leads and spaced (but sane) bolts and the climbing was easy.

Pretty good climb. Only need trad gear for the cruxs pitch. even though the bolts are sparse on the other pitches the climbing is easy with no real cruxes. The cruxes pitch is chossy with suspicious holds. Definitely Want to be definitely soilded at the grade. Crazy bridging and thin hand holds.

Bloody great way to spend a sunny Winters Tuesday. B boy, the supersonic robot, lead the interesting crux pitch, (Crazy crack) in style. I lead the the odd number pitches, clearly with less style, as I fell off whilst seconding the grade 16 pitch!! In other highlights, I attached the trail rope to my watch band! However, we lived, there were no stuck ropes or other incidents, and we were off by 2.30. Excellent apres-climb banana smoothie at the strawberry farm to cap off a tip top day

Good Tibro adventure climb. The pitch 6 crack is the pick. Awesome weather and a great days climbing with Susy G. I led the even pitches.

Absolute classic adventure route. The crazy crack pitch was my hardest trad lead and an amazing climb. Stepping out onto the face after being in the crack had me a serious case of elvis legs.
