Ascents in North East by topher

Foot slipped on smear in crux and took a good whipper. Blue alien popped, but wire below was bommer. Smashed a tree at the base, will need trimming to remove spikes. Toprope first next time to figure out crux move.

Really cool, and felt fairly easy for the grade. No really defined crux move, just a bit sustained in the top half.

Really can't ask for much more.

Pleasant. Good variety of sizes.

Great committing starting moves followed by pleasant moves. Finished up arete instead of super easy chimney.

Face climbing on dolerite is scary

Awesome finger locks, should do it every visit.

2nd shot. Should have had the flash, but faffed too much. Figured out hand sequence at crux, all good after that. Roof crack itself easy but super fun. Keen to do more laps, but need 3x3BD first.

Wasn't totally sure which crack it was meant to be, so I did a lap on each. Both easier than 21. LH narrowing crack climbs harder at top, RH crack easier but more consistent with perfect chicken wings.

More moss than rock, but a few nice moves while joining Missing Josiah

Great little crack, wish it was longer and a bit further from other features.

A few fun moves, but would need to be careful with gear as the rock on the LH side of the crack at half height is about ready to come out.

Great jamming, even with very raw hands.

Actually better than it looks.

Excellent, but my thin fingers couldn't quite handle the start move.

Good finger locks.

2nd shot. Need to have feet sorted at crux, but otherwise a great little route.

Crux definitely the start.

Dirty in the bottom corner, but amazing section of finger crack straight after. As good as a Squamish finger crack!

Pulled up ropes for "grade 8" start. Crack really easy to where it steepens, then awesome finger locks. Upper bolted part a complete change in character, and felt a little harder than 20.

Awesome pitch the whole way. Definitely worth the stars.

Start definitely harder than 18, but still good.

Not hard, but definitely aware of the ledge.

2 moves to a ledge, then a couple more moves.

2nd shot. Buggered it up trying to stay off Ng Man holds at halfway. Much harder without them!

Tried on lead first, wasn't game to layback the start. Reached high for small purple wire near too of crux. Couple of really nice moves above crux.

Great and slightly improbable moves on the bolted section. Eases off quickly after reaching the crack.

Fun last move.

Fun enough, but currently a death route for the belayer, with a block on the LH side of the offwidth about 5m below the anchor only just held in.

A couple of burns with Deano. Will definitely put draws on before redpointing, and use a cam in the lower horizontal. Need to save fingers for the super thin layaway holds below roof.

Some fun moves, with a couple of hards bits. Took a couple of attempts to sort out the crux sequence. Would clean up very nicely.

Found it quite nice overall, with a slightly tenuous crux reaching the overlap.

Pretty cruisey. Either go straight up or move L at the top.

Just stayed in the L crack to practice more wide stuff.

Perfect hand stacks!

Really wish this was much longer. Would be a nice lead, with good l9cks just after the crux.

The traverse into the second crack is defin8tely the highlight.

Awesome moves! Good rests, but makes unfit people like me work for it. Stepping of the slab and avoiding the barndoor is great fun.

Spat off Lethal Injection, but more than happy to do this again. Definitely easier second time around, but still not easy.

Fingers not strong enough for that start. Looks pretty easy from a couple of holds higher.

Awesome, took absolutely everything out of me, and was trying not to vomit at the belay. Started in the wrong crack, with wet, slimy crap for 5m, but the main crack is amazing. Most of the crack is super thin hands, with a couple of decent rests, and feet to the R of the crack. Would be have been more comfortable with 4 #1 and 3 #0.75 cams.

Super awesome first pitch. Starts with perfect hands, and basically just keeps going right to the belay with a couple of slightly wider sections. Thought the crux was definitely the overhang on p2.

With Jed and Tom. Led the crux pitch, but that meant Jed got the second 20/21 pitch, which was the most amazing climbing I've done for a long, long time. Awesome.

fun little flaring chimney, produced lots of entertainment

really nice sequences

start is more like 22 or 3. enjoyable

still a real grunt of a climb

cruisy start then solid top half

more like a 16 i think, but still worth the three stars. holds in the exact spot uyou want them all the way up
