Ascents in Orroral area

Nice crack moves into a tough thin section! Stoked to get all the moves 2nd shot, fingers were less stoked a ripped a big flapperoo. Next time!

Awesome stuff. Had to bail off the full YBR linkup as the sun was setting. Good day out!

Bloody brilliant!

Brilliant stuff, 2nd pitch was nothing but stellar slab, an onsight doesn't get better I reckon! finished up the 18 LH corner. Fun times!

Surprisingly good moves!

3 laps on TR. Feeling better, didn't have the fight in me today, Kate on the send train!

from sometime last month. really nice gr22 crimping until the last bolt which is a horrendous v6 ish move

Psyched to climb up to the thin crack Crux first go. Went clean on TR second shot. Absolutely stellar climbing!

Got super close on the Crux second go today, no dice though. The upper climb goes much easier. Stoked

Someone took the locker from the hanger. It was useful for lowering off so you could do nice quick back to back sends as a warmup 👍

Nice. I did a direct finish where I went straight up afte the only pro on the climb was clipped. This was better than the original.o

Hey Damian I know you’re probably going to read this so I am using this public to platform to state my opinion. Brian has a proofread copy of your new guidebook and I read it today. overall really cool and I’ll definitely be picking up a copy. But in the central slabs, on extreme youth you said something along the lines of “this climb is nowhere near as extreme as it youth to be”. This is disgusting, please don’t print this as it is one of the worst puns I have seen in a very long time.

Fairly vegetated but nice Jamming and beautiful laybacking

Actually pretty sweet

Kinda thrutchy

Average quality

Ran out of pro halfway up had to toprope it. This thing eats green cams

If you were at Orroral Ridge or in the valley on this day, and heard someone getting murdered in the bush, it was actually me grating my body up this off-width crack. Bit of an awkward start, with a doable beginning section that I managed to climb clean. Getting through the overhang/squeeze section is what made me lose my shit. Once I fought my way through that after nearly giving up, the top-out was surprisingly pleasant.

This climb is well-protected, which is the only way I got through it. There are double bolts and a chain at the top with a comfortable ledge/bench seat for belaying. Great views of the valley at the top.

Fabulous route, less intimidating than it looks, looking forward to leading it next time.

Lovely, fun climb with some dizzying exposure at the top-out! Slab start is mossy, unprotected, and run-out, but it's extremely low angle and low risk. The loose-looking block at the top of the crack is solid.

Couple of laps on TR, 1 sit. Close. There's now double ring bolts at the top, makes lowering off a dream.

Tips were in the freezer today 🥶

Awesome, fun, exiting trad line.

Started with Moth then the epic Madrigal and the Jett Arete, continued with the yellow brick road.

Freaking fun, love this place.

Connected the first two pitches and the second half is the best part.

One of my more dismal climbing displays in a while. Got passed the crux clean then slipped on the non existent foot I was on, I proceeded to mope. Ps thunder bluff is kinda sick and I should really go there at some point! Can’t comment on grade as I am tall and the crux is fairly easy for me

Im back and this things still hard but good progress, got the crux clean and punted after. Will be back tmrw for a hopefull toprope send. Also considering how quick I got that 26 at arapiles I reckon this thing is more than 1 grade harder

Followed dad up this epic one

Very hard for the grade.

A little bit too close and tempting to use the right hand arete.
