Ascents of Deep Space - Sickle

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!!!!!!!!

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!

Fun. Runout. Tiny ACT gear. The move into the crack in the last pitch was too scary so I got Jake to lead it. It wasn't as bad as I thought when I seconded. Good ACT slab timez

omglob the runout on pitch 2 - like yes its fine but it's most certainly don't fall climbing. and then the wall behind was equally as unprotected with just some dodgy cracked flakes for gear. harder climbing than the slab with way more fall potential. the final pitch of sickle was sick. sad but also stoked Tom handed me the sharp end. One tough move into the crack and then it was 'jam your way to the hearts of millions' (another fav way to finish a climb)

Epic climb with run out second pitch. Third pitch hand crack was awesome! Thanks Dylan Glavas for taking me up my first fully trad multi

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.

Second pitch doesn't have any pro once left the belay for 25m (potential ground fall), very good pro in crack than 10m runout to the next belay ladge.

Sickle was a delight

for canberra its quite good just dont lose the path second pitch a bit of a hart throb but first and third ar pretty good

A bit of a doddle until you reach the base of the headwall. Can be done in two pitches by belaying at the top of the easy slab, before you head up the ramp to the Sickle belay.

Better done in 2 pitches if you have double ropes. Belay at the top of the slab on P2.

Noice!

33 degrees in shade. Marta led P1. Me P2&3. P2 serious but not technical. Repositioned belay for P3 to below Icy Universe. Guide book wrong. Look for thin diagonal down and right from the base of the Sickle hand crack.

P1, Andrew led P2 &3, P3 is excellent!

Totally awesome!

has to be done by all!
