Stag Wall | |||||||
15 | Luna Sol | 10m | Average | ||||
Not as good as the direct start, a little sandy, mossy and cobwebby. Still quite a bit of fun with good pro in the crack. The large flake is a little bit exciting, it makes noises that keep the thrill going right to the end. Definitely no less than grade 15!
|
|||||||
15 | Luna Sol (Direct) | 10m | ★ Good | ||||
Not horrible but needs a brush. Exciting moves through the bulge on good gear. Definitely no less than grade 15 in my opinion!
|
|||||||
19 | ★ Dill Pickles | 9m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Awesome moves through surprisingly good holds, quite committing and a little sequency!

Onsight rope solo FA. Pretty straightforward. Watch the ironstone edges on top.

19 | ★ Wiggly Wall Too | 6m | Average | ||||
Tough start with the coarse sandy rock, made harder by en-route cleaning. Took a few goes to crack it.

17 | The White Wabbit of W'oonga | 12m | ★ Good | ||||
Went for the OSGUFA but retreated in prudence after several attempts at what turned out to be a ticklish crux and potential fall onto ledge. Candidate for a discreet headwall carrot.
|
|||||||
17 | The White Wabbit of W'oonga | 12m | ★ Good | ||||
Glad to have the string from above - flailed over the crux on invisible crimpers, high match, and a small stream of grit.

Not that hard really, unless one attacks the top arete direct?

Much harder than CH. Took a few goes to crack the bottom bits.

15 | Luna Sol - with Angus M | 10m | Average | ||||
Yer average stiff 15 onsight ... upper bit is overhanging but wall holds are solid. Good pro in crack and breaks though crack is sandy, and giant flake went "BOOMP".
|
|||||||
15 | Luna Sol (Direct) - with Angus M | 10m | ★ Good | ||||
"Cleaner" than its mate, but wouldn't want to lead it out.
|
|||||||
20 19 | ★ Dill Pickles - with Angus M | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | ||||
Faffing hard! More like a stiff 20 than 19, cunning pockets, pumped fingers and a dodgy long last clip precluded the onsight. Struggled up eventually with rests.
|
|||||||
20 | ★ Dill Pickles - with Angus M | 9m, 3 | ★ Good | ||||
Didn't even manage it clean with the thin red line of courage form above and a hail of Sharmanic screams.

Had about 15 goes at the one move. I don't reckon it's 17 unless there used to be a more positive lip. More like a 20 or 21 move... but then it would be bizarre to rate such a short climb like that I guess.

Met an old man today who assured us the area was being climbed in the 50s, and who, delighted by my modern rope, regaled us with a tale of an early nylon rope being used to climb the Three Sisters, on which taking a fall, 'melted by stretching' and the leader falling to his demise 'left bits of himself all the way down the cliff, including his scrotum'. Inspired by such wonders, attacked and finally overcame this ticklish problem, and departed, with anatomy, and modern rope, intact.
