Onsight from the 2nd bolt. For some reason I kept missing my right footer at the start, and slipped off (3 times) despite the moves not being THAT hard. Good climbing on great rock that is hard to read. Grade is only valid if you don't cop out right off-route between 4th and 5th bolt.

Only 22 for the first 6m (though thin, balancy, punchy and hard to protect for those 6m) after which its about gr20, with some worryingly loose rock at the top. I fell off with my hands on the hold to finish the hard bit, and was saved solely by my little pink wire placed in a horizontal seam left of the climbing line. Cool climbing, though inconsistant and borderline dangerous.

Thu 8th Feb 2024
chucked a lap to take Ella up this classic. lead p1, p3, p4.

good day out with some unexpected mental challenges to get me working harder than anticipated.

p1: too wet. one stick clip and every draw pulled on, but managed to survive without a fall.

p2: was dry, no issues here, cruisy onsight by Big E.

p3: the tricky sequence at the beginning was thankfully was dry. however the easy groove had become a river and was giving me a run for my money. despite my hesitation, managed it clean

p4: harder lead than I was expecting after my second last time. crux and last bit test you mentally.

p5: just as good the second time, nice work leading it E

The climbing is mostly on vegetated gullies, with a few wet and mossy moves with some consequence, and moments of exposure on good rock. Descended same way ( tested the memory). One Fixed rope only at present, Bunnings special with the anchor being 2 unequalised pitons, one only half in. Needless to say, did not touch it, though neither piton budged, I wouldn’t like to have 100kg person bounce testing it. Walked in from gunnemooroo camp via the creek as the road at present needs a decent clearance 4 wd. Took about 2 hours to base of west ridge from camp.

awesome route, what an absolute CLASSIC!!! easy to get off route up high but luckily we got back on with a traverse. super exposure on the belays and pitch 4 traverse is epic. technically not an onsight, as we did the first three pitches the day before and retreated due to being too late to continue safely.

Solid effort from a party of 3, we were determined to come back! Woke up at 430am smashed brekky, coffee and punched it to the base of the cliff, on the rock by 7-730ish. Unreal climbing on all pitches as well as some absolutely insane exposure. I was shitting myself at the pitch 4 belay, hanging 100m above nothing with barely a ledge to stand on props to Hazz. Went a bit off route for the 6th pitch which made Jacinda have to traverse back to the 13, then one final full rope length push to top out in the dark. 11 hours baking on the wall and one of the most impressive routes I have climbed. Safe to say I was pretty fucked at the end of the day, unreal

Birthday link up with Belougery and Crater Bluff - 15 hours and 55 minutes car to car . I got quite lost on the first pitch because i’m an idiot and ended up 15m below the abseil anchor with no rope left. Harry came up and sorted us out like the weapon he is. Simuled the rest of the route in about an hour twenty. We topped out, asked some walkers where the descent was, and then wandered down and made ourselves sandwiches.

great mission with the whole crew up this thing. was going to do an 8 person simul train up, but decided best not to, with some of the guys being their first Bungles climb here. was a full day and got back late, but its only a true trad mission if youre back at camp in darkness, with the moon lighting your way home.

Man what a day, such awesome exposure and climbing, really fun despite the hectic wind we had to deal with on belay ledges. Started on who knows what to the right of the actual start but got back on track after that. Highlight was definitely waiting around for 3hrs for sunset only to realise half your party didn't bring fuckin head torches. Sick

Left Balor hut early at 6am to beat the crowds. Luckily we did, because we managed to get lost on the way there. Started up wrong pitch (stiffer than 8) off to the right of actual. Realised when we got to start of 3rd. High winds in the morning were very chilly, easing up a bit when we went higher and became more protected and the sun came out. Absolute classic, choss and all. Standout pitches for me were pitch 4 and 5. Waited around at the summit until sunset, when the entire party made it up. Descended via Green Glacier as it got darker, totally benighted by the time we got to the second rap. Made it back to camp at 9pm.

Wow what a day to remember for a mix of reasons. Started walking from pinchmans at 6am in the dark and collapsed at the car at 6.30pm also in the dark. Didn't have too much trouble with route finding the whole day. The climbing itself was average quality with some sections having some nice moves. Gear was good in most places other than crux sections. Quite a large amount of loose blocks on every pitch. As for the grade it felt much harder than 14 through the crux sections meaning we both felt very unprepared for the difficulty. BUT I am not experienced in multi pitch climbing and have never climbed in the warumbungles. All in all was an epic day up at big rock, what more could you want!!

Number Two on the birthday link up with Bluff Mountain and Belougery - 15 hours 55 minutes car to car. Soloed to the base of the crux pitch then simuled to the top in one block. Even better than i remembered. This thing is all time! Descending Green Glacier took longer than the route and is kinda shit (but very pretty).

Back for redemption! After having to retreat last year after getting scared and doing a super sketchy traverese we are back and we sent! Absolutely insane for the time that this was put up. Bryden was crazy. Runout with some avg gear on the first pitch, super fiddly avg gear on the second pitch and belayed slight early. Third pitch chimney was insane! Looks like a choss pile but the rock in here is super bomber. Takes bulk small nuts and brassies, was really worried I was going the wrong way until I eyed off a piton thank god! Very engaging within the chimney as its not all jugs, quite techy for the grade and maybe 6m between gear at some points. Stretched the full 60m + more to make it to the belay tree. Last 2 pitches were so deece and christ I was tired after a big trip. Love climbing and this beautiful place they call the bungles

FFA. So hard to tell what the grade on Bungles rock will be !! haha

Launched up this as my eye was caught be the the finger crack and corners high up on the second pitch.

On this my 4th trip in the Bungles I felt like I found a little bit of Bungles rock one-ness and was comfy enough to quest up through some appauling rock and dicey moves.

Rick did a steller ground up ascent of the first pitch through some similarly dicely and loose and committing moves.

Thought this line looked like a cruisy grade 15 ish for a ground up first ascent.... in classic bungles style it proved vastly more involved.... after navigating and cleaning off loads of snappy holds as I went, and huffing and puffing for an age below the crux trying different sequences and pulling all those holds off, I had to take a rest with a stonking pump.

After a sit and a think I was able to get through the cryptic and commiting crux and almost got spat off fighting my way into the final streno moves and finger crack ! Super.

Can't wait to go back and do it when the rock is all solid as it's a super fun and engaging sporty trad route.

Lucky last on the birthday link up with Bluff Mountain and Crater Bluff - 15 hours and 55 minutes car to car. Also better than I remembered. We managed to find the base in the light which was nice as the scrambling was more involved than I remembered. Climbed the whole route in the dark and then rapped down etc etc yay we are done. Walked back to the car and ate some left over pasta my dad had made. Then we got in the car and left. A fun 21 hours in the Warrumbungles with 3 hours of sleeping and 18 hours of walking, eating, faffing, and rock climbing. I always say birthdays are for suffering but this one was really just silly and fun. Thanks for skippin’ school Haz.
