Ascents in Tidbinbilla area as Pink point

Nice technical movement on this one - crag classic for me

Amazing route. Thanks Matilda for putting the crux draw on. Not very Queensland, but I’ll take the pink point

First time placing gear in about 10 years, felt great to re learn the skill. Had a decent onsight attempt but muddled up the top crux sequence. Found a flow moment second shot and climbed it smoothly. Incredible movement with some technical movement. Thanks for the day out Ryan.

top lead by harry.

couple of tricky mantles

Finished on twin set crux

nice first lead of the trip Liam - getting the ball rolling!

Really nice. Preplaced gear, which wasn't always where I wanted it

Seconded then led. Really nice jam crack in a cool area.

Needs more stars! Definitely worth doing, even if you only come here for the 20/24. Some awesome jams in either crack having to navigate through the roof then a little bit of offwidthy stuff at the top. Awesome!

Quite a fun climb! The 'finger crack' is basically a jug rail with small gear at the back, and the movement is good fun, especially as the rail sweeps upward. Beware of sparse gear if you're not quite comfortable on trad 21s.

Bittersweet feelings! Happy to finish off this project, will miss being able to come out here when I had no other plans and take in all the beauty of the surrounding ranges. What an amazing journey. First ascent was done on pre placed gear, would be happy to see someone red point this, though I wasn’t keen to break my ankles with gear that I found tough to aid on Easier 27 with preplaced, would be a very tough 27 placing gear on lead

Thanks Dave for a great day out! Also thanks to the shade of the Coolabah Tree beta on a sweltering day! #HeltaSkelta

IMO this Is the 14 and the other crack is the 16. We both thought this slab angle made it easy

first two pieces in from first attempt

A climb in 2 halves, the top slab crux being quite fingery and committing

Great fun. A different beast to the other 23.

Apparently have been on this before. I remember nothing

Considering the spoogy conditions, send went relatively smoothly. Canberra granite is great!

Put up the draws with a stick clip, then did it clean on top rope, then lead it.

Just barely stayed on at the top on the lead attempt.

nice a safe when you use a sling to extend the last draw.

A few years ago I fell off this and took a big fall from close to the second last bolt, without it clipped, swinging into the corner/edge of the ledge below and getting hurt enough to end the day.

I finally came back, top roped it first, then lead it, glad to have it done

That is one awkward climb, glad to send it. Good warmup the 23 corner/ finger crack.

A good warm up climb.
