Ascents in Northern Beaches as boulder by Graham Dowden

Weird, but good!

Far from rex anything - just further proof that boulderers can't climb slab!

Overall a rubbish area strewn with the usual "youf" rubbish of bongs, cig butts, premix bottles and beer cans. Plus some rubbish rock.

Wet wet wet - at least nobody can accuse me of not sucking it up!

Easy 15-16

Pretend you're at Pindari if you must: red lichen and slick moss

Awful wet red lichen top: go somewhere clean & dry instead

Got to tick something on the first day of spring!

Working hard at it, but just missed the topout.

Cracked it while fresh, pretty good! Could be V2.

Tried lots, just couldn't stick last bit

Harder than the others

Wouldn't want to fall off this!

Thiiiinn edges! At least a V1 for me.

Needs some balance and trust to get on board.

Easier start with a stretch.

Harder slabbing over the roof.

Hard moments with little for the hands at the crux .. just like granite?

Much more for the hands at the crux.

Straightforward wall climb.

In Tevas

Ghastly seal-style haulout over rounded edge into bushfire debris - happy days!

Not too bad once you get the cave edge though mantle a bit iffy.
