Ascents in Warrumbungles as Clean

Another lovely adventure!!! Excellent, solid rock, with nice blocky slab moves on mostly edges/pulls. Excellent leads again by Rory Hentshel, with Michael 'Monty' Burns linking the final two pitches to take us to the summit! Beware - loose rock and scree for the finish.

What an incredible adventure! Excellent leads by Rory Hentshel and Michael 'Monty' Burns, with sherpa Jordy in tow! Crux pitch, slung horn, deep breath, traversing face left for a few m, climbing direct to regain the rib, MAGIC!!!!!!

Ushering up the grandson and then his first abseil

Absolutely amazing line. Stomach turning exposure on small belay ledges. Lead the first pitch, built my first Trad anchor. 4th pitch and onwards were phenomenal climbing.

Exciting first climb in the bungles. Amazing face with some fun moves on the second and third pitch.

A beautiful corner climb, hard for it's grade if you are not a crack climber.

Lead by Angie. A beautiful corner climb and goey toward the top.

The direct start is kinda goey considering the shortage of gear. Did the moves fine but wouldn’t have wanted to by stopping to place anything.

Started at high point on vegetated ridge and went up left of blocks with windows for 35 m through overlaps. Then up lichenous slabs for 60 m, then up left into low angle dihedral with good cams and the actual “ climbing” and Short chimney finish for 40m. Scramble right and up to summit blocks. Dave’s birthday.

We started on this route and followed a superb line through to a logical conclusion in 5 pitches, but it bears no resemblance to the description after pitch 2. The body chimney of pitch 1 has around 10 m+ of unprotected climbing unless you take a big bro. Nice lead by Dave. P2 seemed to follow description. Then I linked 3 +4 starting into a beautiful left facing flake and going up ribs in 60 m. Never found a chockstone. Our Pitch 5 went up a left facing corner for 15 m, then traversed airily right for another 20m before an easy scramble and then walk to top. Descended sw gully.Generally good rock, a bit lichenous due to lack of traffic. Only 4 other people been here since our last ascent in July. 5 climbers on summit today.

My 3rd multi pitch climb ever - first without a guide. Awesome climbing, some gripping moments - mostly whilst waiting to here "safe" from my partner. Super Windy but even though that made it cold and hard to hear each other, preferred over getting pelted by the sun all day.

Super cool, definitely a classic, soloed P1, simul-seconded from there to the top. Each pitch was unique. Read the approach section for crater bluff to make the day go a lot smoother (eg. Approach from Dagda Saddle, follows faint trail down to the creek), made for a very memorable day having to bush bash in, but wouldn’t recommend. The rap out was very cool but we spent a lot of time untangling ropes.

Extremely hard to find the base of the climb (took us about 2 hours) so didn't start climbing until about 11am but thankfully still managed to top out before sunset. Pitch 4 out on the wing was definitely the money pitch. Brilliant day out!!

Pretty easy climbing (on second ) with some epic views.

Never been so intimidated by a climb before in my life but we did it! Stayed at Dow's Camp overnight and sussed out the approach beforehand for efficiency's sake. Needn't have worried though, the climber's track from camp is well-marked with cairns and easy to follow. Ended up being a great day out in a phenomenal location, although the climbing didn't quite live up to mega-classic expectations. Done with 50m doubles but would probably recommend 60m to allow for any accidental off-route wanderings. Started at sunrise, when the cliff was drenched in gorgeous orange light.

P1 - Assuming we did start in the right place (weren't 100% sure, despite the description), this was nothing to write home about and a bit vegetated too. The tat is just visible from the ground, with an obvious stance to belay just above it.

P2 - Second and definitely a highlight, some quality moves through the corner systems. Solid for 18 but still easily manageable.

P3 - As awkward as expected for a sideways abseil. If using 50m ropes, you'll want to set up the anchor as soon as you reach the base of the wing, otherwise you potentially won't reach the next belay. Used the rap rope in the anchor as previously recommended.

P4 - Another highlight. Climbing wasn't quite as good as hoped for, but the position was absolutely crazy and the orange wing is just spectacular. Bit of a rope stretcher but just made it.

P5 - Second. Surprisingly nice! Rock quality and gear were both good.

P6 and 7 - Fairly average and unremarkable, following a clear groove.

P8 - As easy as promised thankfully, only placed 3 bits of gear. Lovely view from the very top belay!

All up, about 9 hours camp to camp. Route finding was pretty straightforward if you knew what you were looking for; we took a double rack of BD 0.3-3 plus a 4 and lots of wires which was easily enough. Psyched to have done this!
