Tascmaster Wall | |||||||
23 Hard | ★★ Flight of the Condors — 3 attempts | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Very crimpy, wanders around the wall which is weird as it doesn't need to. Last clip is best to extend a little to make clipping easier. A good outing and again boils down to 2 x V3 boulder problems with a jug rest in the middle.
|
|||||||
19 Hard | ★★ TASCbar | 15m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Excellent climbing and a great warm up for the crimpy routes as you will need to use a few small holds.
|
|||||||
23 Hard | ★★★ Stinging Riccardo — 2 attempts | 18m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Great climbing, took a decent amount of cleaning but now it's primed for summer!!! What a great line, overhanging crimp boulder leads to a no hands rest than technical face climbing on small crimps leads to a fun finish. If you are staying at Tukino nip over, it's only a 10 min walk. Probably on the hard side for 23 but maybe just sneaks under the radar. once you know the sequences its maybe 2 x V3 boulders with a rest in the middle 🤔

23 ~24 | ★★★ Ritual De La Habitual — 2 attempts | 20m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Brilliant route but right from the start move this wasn't a 23 for me 😂 maybe I didn't read it very well 🤔 Extend the 6th and 7th or risk the ride of your life. Hard, Wild, Spicy and Brilliant, looking forward to coming back for the other 2 lines that start at the same spot.

22 Hard | ★★ Harakiri — 2 attempts | 17m, 7 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Excellent climbing, harder than most 22s but this is not a soft crag 😂

17 | ★★ Heroes - with Jonno Rau | 35m, 1 | ★ Good | ||||
Think Jonno strayed too far right, missed the spike, exited right instead of left. Getting hot and blowy, time to leave. Keen to return and lead it.
|
|||||||
18 | ★★★ Just For One Day - with Jonno Rau | 35m, 2 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Terrific climbing, not too run out and there's no doubt gear I missed. Nervy moment after first bolt when I pulled a sizeable sharp flake off while starting the crux. Pockets full of wind-blown sand so missed those for cams, will remember a brush next time. Big overhanging chockstones at top a bit alarming. Must do again!
|
|||||||
17 | ★★★ Potions Master - with Jonno Rau | 35m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Nice lead from Jonno. Great route, reminiscent of Arapiles watchtower slabbing. Left the anchor in place for convenience.
|
|||||||
14 | Shamed - with Jonno Rau | 25m, 1 | Average | ||||
Arrived with much less gear today but too few draws, improvised an extra couple. Think we climbed this, but didn't see a bolt so probably veered right and finished closer to Gruber. Rapped off a bollard.

14 | ★ Slingky Malinky - with Jonno Rau | 20m | ★ Good | ||||
Entirely on 5 slings as suggested. Easy climbing and good stances but you might want a bit more gear than that.
|
|||||||
16 | ★ Sweet Sixteen - with Jonno Rau | 20m, 4 | Average | ||||
Trickyish start. Didn't float my boat.

Fun wee overlap. A bit mossy and dusty in the cracks, did a bit of scraping but mostly found alternate gear.

Climbed with a trad rack and shoes, easy anchor set up at the top with hex + sling round cojoined boulder. Looked like some decent rock to the left of the boulder for DBB, so worth checking out.

Fantastic little mission, we went up and rappelled down the gully in just over 3 hours but were not moving fast. Yeah the rock is a bit subpar in quality especially on P1 but overall a really enjoyable climb. Would defs do again!
