Ascents in New South Wales and ACT as Tick

Pitch 1 only -though I kinda climbed some of the Project as well (it's a confusing bit of wall, here). Probably about gr23 the way I climbed it, though I would describe it as the most logical line. Old school, boulder-problems between mantles and ledges, with some huuuge runouts. Completely dry despite all the crazy rain.

Awesome day Will never forget 18 degrees no hotter Strong NW didn’t really effect 16 draws 5 extended P3 favourite pitch P6 was engaging 😂 12hrs car to car, taking it easy, no torches!!

P1 only. Highly enjoyable.

Rapped in from the top of Air Malta to do the easier pitches.

Nearly a dream send but it was not to be. After sitting below the crux pitch for quite some time as it rained and others bailed we decided we should at least have a crack at the steepness. And I somehow found myself all the way up there with the last bolt at my chest unable to clip it, looking around as rain hit my face, grabbing desperately at a horrid collection of damp non-holds one move away from the anchor ledge. Alas I finally succumbed to the pump, peeled backwards, and took quite the whip. I pulled back on, found the hold I had missed, slapped some chalk on it and that was that. In some ways I lament the onsight that could have been, but I'm also happy knowing that I fully emptied the tank and had absolutely nothing left to give, I could barely pull up the rope afterwards. Pretty rad either way. I lowered down, Dave flashed it, the absolute madman!! and we decided to bail from the rain upwards rather than to the ground for the sun had come out to celebrate Dave's glorious sendage. I jumarred up on a micro traxion and we were going to finish up Air Malta's final pitch but Dave was on his typical Bungonia crushing rampage and as the sun now shone and the sending breeze picked up it seemed only fitting to continue our quest despite losing two hours of day light. Some mild faff ensued including me getting hit by a largish rock but being miraculously totally fine, and Dave getting lost on the #DawnWallDownClimb but we managed and I only had to climb one pitch in the dark. The pitches that followed after the crux I rate accordingly: Shit, unpleasant, pleasant, inoffensive, good. All up a four star day on two star routes.

luke broke a footer on the crux pitch otherwise would defo have onsighted it

i ripped off a massive piece of ironstone and had a 10m fall going up the corner on the traverse/money pitch

awesome day out

The best multi I have ever done and one that keeps with my trend of achieving climbing 'firsts' in intimidating locations. I onsighted the first pitch which was rather gripping but probably quite easy at the grade, giving me my first Trad 23 and then, after belaying Paul's ultra solid send, almost almost scraped the crux pitch clean on second. I slipped off essentially the last move of the crux right at the end of the pitch despite feeling quite solid. After one false start I pulled on and mantled up to the belay. This pitch is all time!! featuring unlikely steep climbing at about grade 22 all the way until the intimidating and awesome final crux sequence; The best!! I then led and onsighted the third pitch (having told Paul I wanted to lead the layback that Ben Cossey is climbing in the TNF ad in the guidebook), a significantly harder 23 than the first pitch but ultra rad and super demanding for the section of real climbing before it turns into a ramble to the belay. At this point my head was pretty gone and I was feeling exhausted so Paul said he was happy to lead the last two pitches, an offer I gratefully accepted and I managed both of these clean on second with a major fight to keep it together on the final pitch as my lack of day-endurance took its toll and I found myself pumped stupid.

All up it is probably one of the best days of climbing to be had in the Bluies and I would highly recommend it to anyone who can muster the psych!!! Get on it!

Awesome new multipitch. P3-P5 only. Stella rock and awesome exposure. P4 is super sustained, rad moves. Stoked to onsight the P5 pitch.

Unbelievable!! A bit of a dream route ever since I first saw it in the 2015 guide and great to squeeze it in on my last day as a child. Pitch one was pretty cool with a couple of sequences of varying desperation depending on your height but it went down pretty quick. Pitch two was absolutely mega and one of the coolest pitches I've done. I took one proper fall and had two or three sits. I really enjoyed the bolting on this pitch generally. It was intimidating and committing but never actually scary and all together just a very fulfilling experience to get through each sequence and clip the next bolt. There were however two bolts that I struggled to clip from the presumably intended stances, but I think this is just because I'm very short and not because they are objectively poorly placed. A panic draw would probably alleviate this for any other small would be ascentionists and I would perhaps recommend it as it was enough of an issue that it may have cost me an onsight had that been on the cards. Pitch three was really cool but the bolting here was a tad scary for Pat I think and possibly a bit dangerous around the arete with weird rope-cutting-ledge-hitting fall potential. The climbing however with the newly scrubbed corner is definitely not hard at the grade though, especially if you have a bit of areting experience to get through the first bit. Really cool. Pitch four was easy, 18 at Piddo, and really fun if you love a layback as much as I do. The rock isn't quite as mega though. Pitch five was also great on rad rock. Again not too hard at the grade but if you are a mortal you are probably starting to feel tired at this stage and so the pump definitely chases you. Pitch six saw my wheels fall off a little bit as I just bungled a sequence and became immediately mega pumped and took a fairly big whip way up in the sky. Nice climbing in great position but not too special. Pitch seven is rad too on great rock. Super easy but I was absolutely shattered and really had to keep it together to stay on and get to the top. What a sweet day!!!

Pitch 4 is a heap of fun! Can't wait to get back on this.

So good! Found pitch 1 hard.. maybe cold? Pitch 2 okay, Pitch 3 awesome, Pitch 4 glad it wasn't my lead, Pitch 5 Amazing, really want to go back for this one!, Pitch 6 Found this hard for 25?

Great route!

Onsight P1. Interesting climbing, but consists of actual disintegrating sand-choss for much of it.

Linked into P2 to try and climb it as a giant singlepitch, before getting scared of the rope grinding on the choss below and the alpine winds got the better of me. Reversed the crux and backjumped to the belay. Might be okay, but requires bolt plates, and probably a 0.5, 0.75 and 1 BD Cam to make it comfortable.

Pitch 1: Makes you work straight off the deck! Pitch 2: Tom had a jazz first but couldn't find a beta through one of the upper cruxes. I hopped on, slipped off the start, lowered, then RP'd past the upper crux only to slip off on the slab! Next time Pitch 3: A heady lead by Tom, feels pretty intimidating even on the follow. Pitch 4: Great, airy jug-hauling Pitch 5: Arete slapping good times, great little power-balance climb Pitch 6: Amazing exposure, stepping up onto the high arete is super rad! Lost in space. Pitch 7: A dance up some great rock, 3 feet for one hand!

What the fuck P3? 1 word panic

P2 crux was fiesty! Managed to do the crux 2nd go then onsight to the anchors, the top half of p2 was some damn amazing climbing! worth it just for that section. The 23 was a monster crimper pitch.. Felt it's tricky to onsight in the crux section cos of a hard to spot hold, a great 45m crimp fest. (p3 tops out at lunch ledge, can do exposed crawl to rap area-stashed lunch)

So close to the onsight!!!! Tried to straight-in jam the .75 crux rather than doing 3 layback moves to the fingerlock 🤷‍♂️ Oh well. Should go with the right beta next time.

Anyway. Great climb. Not too hard for the grade. Excellent locations.

Listed gear beta is spot on. Definitely don't need the #4 though.

The start of the 25 pitch was so difficult for me. I eventually figured out a way after sitting on the bolt, back and fourth. I was so exhausted after all this I ended up sitting on gear and pulling on gear several more times throughout the rest of the pitch.

Happy I was able to climb all the other pitches clean.

What a epic climb loved the jamming on the corner all time good times the whole way up, lead 2nd & 4th

Got a take making the transition from the boulder problem to the crack 3rd pitch was tricky. All clean to the top after and stoked to onsight the last pitch

Stoked on such an epic day out

Outstanding climbing on every pitch

First time in the gorge. Got too excited to climb the crux pitch and hardly waited after the 60m pitch 3 . Results as expected.

I can't wait to do this again. We climbed it the day after Evolution, I spent the day falling and jugging my way up. The features and exposure on the crux pitch are amazing.

A great day out heckling and climbing. Unfortunately underwhelming climbing mostly on grey, dirty rock (probably from recent rains). The second pitch was by far the highlight and was super awesome!
