Ascents in Amnesty Wall Area

Mick 2nd

Mick lead

great slab, great position

Nice little slab climb - a bit tricky through the crux.

Second best 20 I've climbed in the gramps. You need a 5 and 6.

Pwoah! Incredible and super tough at the grade. Note to future frothers - Bring sling that you’re happy to leave to rap off chicken heads up the top... the existing sling is ancient and shouldn’t be trusted.. The other option is to solo off the cliff and that’s not so nice. Also climb right out of the crack at the orange break with sharp jugs. Continuing up the crack left will lead you to an impossible sloping ramp. I had to downclimb these moves and made things much harder than they needed to be. Big gear - 2 x 5’s and 2 x 6’s. Could easily use 4 of each to make things easy though.

Super sharp crimps. Does not add any nice move to the 25, if anything takes the best moves away! SL is the line!

Don't think guerrilla tactics are necessary for this one (2nd shot)

Crux is complex if you’re under 170cm. Otherwise a really nice route.

Flash. Had a hard pull on a small edge. Wires at the top are not necessary.

Aside from the helmet scraping traverse and the glued crux hold, it's good!

I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist, and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance!

Gave me a good workout at the end of the weekend.

No need for the R. This is a great route.

Pumpy as hell

Pumpy and sustained. Dabbed off the back wall, may have to go to VCAT for a ruling.

You would need an extremely long stick to consider this a sport route; the first bolt is a long way off the deck.

The 2nd bolt is far above the first, with some tough climbing on brittle stone, with a wall behind to plummet into... no thanks. The rest of the route looks nice.

Should be called ‘strife and stars’. Start is very committing. Glorious climbing after the second bolt

This is a great route. Gear between 1st and 2nd bolt seems like the go. I finished up the last bolt of route to the R as the top was wet.

Had previously done LH variant.

Did ages ago, desperate move over roof

scary again 22/05/05

Came off at the hard start moves at the rooflet, then easier climbing.

Broke a hold (thin, hollow flake) near the top and fell. Maybe it will go up a grade? On 2nd thought, probably not.

one move and it's over

Short and well protected crux

FFA.
