Great fun, love the runout on the second (written) pitch. Combined first and second pitch - rope drag is heavy if you don't think about the gear placements.

Top roped the first pitch, and led P2 & 3. P1 quite friable and mossy, with first bolt at 20m - be careful. Managed to fall off P2, but took more care on 2nd try. Again be careful, protection above the overlap is a marginal wire then a long runout on increasingly easy ground.

Awesome 2nd pitch, full value for the grade. I wouldn’t go back without that #5 cam though - it took me so long to commit through the crux section 2m above the last piece of gear I placed, a large hex.

Pretty wild at the grade, especially not placing much gear so we could climb it as a giant single pitch without rope drag. Super high quality from the techo slab on the first pitch to the top of the second pitch's awesome corner.

My favorite climb of the trip. Beautiful second pitch with vintage laybacking on a massive flake which leads to a stemming corner below the mega roof. Place a bomber cam and get ready for a space walk, moves that rarely found and jams that will rarely fail will make you fall in love with this erotic piece of rock.

PS Doesn't require anything bigger than #4 cam

Super awesome. First pitch is good, rock is good. Second pitch is super run out, no fall friction slab, very engaging but not too hard. After the slab I think you are are supposed to continue on easy slab further right, but I climbed the headwall above a somewhat suspect but bomber #1 RP. Pitch 3 is mega awesome crack, get on it.

Unreal climbing in an awesome position! Absolute mega classic and must do for all jam frothers and granite lovers. First pitch is really nice but second pitch is the money. Awesome layback moves up a slab until you hit the roof then its basically hand jam campussing the roof crack with minimal feet! Absolutely mega!! Would do again.

Did second pitch, which is definitely the best one. That roof crack is awesome climbing, hand jams and almost campusing. Bring a few yellow cams for it.

First pitch was kind of meh. For bonus value, commit to the roof crack, and avoid the temptation of the slab… otherwise it’s super chill if you just traverse the corner crack.

Couldn't find a marked path so bush bashed through heavy bush taking at least 45 minutes to get to the rock. P1 is fun climbing. P2 was slabby and very run out. P3 was even more run out..didn't place anything after belay ledge. Scrambled down as had to cross wet mossy slab to get to rap anchors and felt a bit sketchy. 30 min bush bash back to road.

About 45 minutes in to our epic bush bash, I was starting to question whether it was all worthwhile... But fear not, this route was fabulous and we had an awesome day out!

I combined P1 and P2 into one classy mega pitch, which works with about 2 m spare on a 60 m rope. This might just be the cowardly millennial in me, but I would personally say P2 is X-rated. From the gear at the top of P1 (about 25 m up), there is absolutely nothing until you reach the top of the main slab (couple of small, slightly suspect wires in little scoops by a bush) and then nothing for the last 8 m up to the finish. A slip on the thick moss and lichen higher up would potentially end in a ~50 m groundfall, so take your time and make sure you are fully committed before setting out. P3 (led by Shub) also has no gear above the starting finger crack, but here the surficial vegetation was a bit thinner and you'd only end up hanging on the slab below. Kudos to Bridget for keeping it together on her first multi-pitch!

For approach notes, we didn't have much luck with the ones posted above and took at least an hour going in from the track (the bush in the second half is much denser than the first). We did better on the way out and here's some potentially useful way-points to get you in from the trail:

  1. Start where the track crosses a creek (-35.5893438, 148.9687538). This is the second major creek that it crosses as you walk in from Honeysuckle campground.

  2. Walk up the creek (stick to the higher ground on left or right side at the beginning) for quite a while until you reach a point around (-35.5920948, 148.9717961).

  3. Turn right uphill for ~100 m until you reach a big boulder with two small rocks perched on top (-35.5929617, 148.9717592). From here, you should be able to see Sickle up through the trees. Head uphill as straight as possible towards it through the worst of the scrub. Whole thing will likely take at least 45 minutes from the track.

Such an epic line which goes through wicked terrain. My psych was down due to a 37km hike day before, but laybacking, jamming, traversing the roof, all was amazing. Mark - so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Great day out climbing! pretty fun multi, and probably my hardest trad lead to date (if pitch 1 is a gr.16). Wind was howling but just so stoked to me out on the rock again with my man Hazlid!!! camped at Honeysuckle and started way too late lol so only got in the one multi for the day. Fun cracks and slab.

Hectic bush bash in or out. Walked in from camp, found the 2nd little creek and trekked uphill from there. a few OK climbers tracks for the first half, but just pure bushbashing for the second half, just aim for the big rock!

an absolute stunner of a climb, which definitely makes up for the shit approach through the thick bush. 3 interesting pitches, P2 is super run out for sure buuuuut, its only like grade 12 so just dont look back till you make it to the ledge. khush started off well, then i finished the rest. got a nut stuck on P1 so i climbed up once we got to the bottom again, will be sure to return here, for the harder slabs PSA; Road will be open after winter!!!!!!!!
