Ascents in The West Bank

wow the movement on this is stellar.

didnt get the onsight (i blame the lichen on the holds) had no daylight for a redpoint. perfect excuse to come back here

What a memorable send! Done at night with a cheap head torch for light. Couldn’t see anything but made up the beta as I went and found a new awesome way to do the crux. Total classic, one of my favourites at the grade.

Can do all of the moves on this one. I guess it'll be pumpy to link but I'll try again if we ever come back here 😂

Cool cool. After half a day of getting lost I almost felt unmotivated to climb. This one gets pretty pumpy at the top 😬 I somehow got through

Pocket out right on the crux might be full of dirt and such. Don’t miss it!

Well worth it. Got me psyched again!

Great stuff. Cool rock down low

A rather large wasps nest is up the top currently. Luckily they seemed friendly

Pretty engaging

Not game enough to lead it on those bolts. Cool climb though

My arms almost fell off trying to find a hold to clip from. Keep your whits for the finish.

The 18 pitch has two decent sized ferns growing from the crack, its hilarious to climb! The second pitch is punchy and i couldn't keep it together for the onsight for the last climb of the day. Wouldn't try again.

Fell off at the crux attempting to use small slopey seam. Changed beta to a larger move. My leg fit so perfectly into the knee bar midway. I could climb this route again for sure.

Quite cooked from Cassia crag!

Quite cooked from Cassia crag!

Wouldn't say I will do it at the end

4 attempts. Not my day

Not as good as its neighbour to the left, but still features a single great boulder-problem in the middle. Would be better with its own anchor, and if the bolts were positioned to force a more independent line (working the right-side of the scoops, well away from the other route.

1 shot, 1 fall when I didn't find the good part of a "seam" at the 2nd last bolt. Short, but punchy, with great moves on even better rock. One of my favourites at the grade in Nowra. Probably could have done this 2nd shot, but it was in the full sun, and I was in a bad mood. Would rather find a reason to come back here for this when I'm looking to enjoy myself, cause this route is worth the effort.

Whoever Katie is, the FA mustn't have liked her very much. Poxy lower half, then pleasant doddly middle to an utterly nails crux that I never stuck once (I've climbed V5's easier than this). I don't really rate this, but maybe its just sour grapes.

2nd shot. A bit too gnarly and sustained for a warmup, as I pumped out on the last bolt on my warmup. Much harder than it looks, but great climbing up a short section of funky scoops and slopers, with some punchy moves.

Didn't feel that much harder then the route to the left. Wicked textured rock the the middle section. Would be cooler if it had its own anchor.

I had a picture of this route on my school folder 15 years ago. It didn't disappoint in real life. Short but action packed. Classic for sure and well worth a visit.

Pretty dirty start up the layback but still fun enough. Easy jugs and ledges up to the powerful last move undercling move. Sneaky beta for the win.

Bit of a tuff warm up. Looks juggy from the ground, not so much at the crux.

What Rick Phillips says !! Felt nice and easy today !!

First go today.... Why are the 24's easier here than the 22's

Still mega, down to one rest. Would like to get back on this soon. I don't want to have relearn the tricky sequence above the scoops.

Pretty cool weirdness. Nice slopey Orange rock.

OMG...Where has winter gone. So slippy in hot conditions. Awesome route tho. Something to go back to. Fell from last clip

Geeez thats a tough little cookie

A crazy technical crux move for a 22! Satisfying tick. Fell after crux on onsight attempt.

Classic video game style climbing. You could imagine someone going crazy on a Nintendo controller trying to get you to the top! 3rd shot

Amazing

Cool problem.

I worked out all the moves so I should be right for next time. 3 shots.

Pretty fucking hot in the sun!

I had a play on this to end the day. I'd like to try it again.

Sick route! great fun.

wah.. good pumpy warm up!
