Still hard, pumpy as!
|

18 | ★★ Lost Wanderer - with Thomas Cramer | 25m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really good climbing but as usual for me was overshadowed by not having suitable gear to place, Tom’s memory was poor.

Absolute classic, fixed a 10m static to avoid the top faff, rapped on a 70m worked a treat

Sun 8th Oct 2023 - Lowdina | ||||||
17 | ★ Morning Sun - with o_g | 20m | Average | |||
I started up this thinking I was on the 14 so when I got to the crux at the top I got to thinking this isnt a 14 so I stepped right, and seemingly finished up the 14, so should I write this up as a new route or a linkup? It was ok I guess maybe I need to do it again and try the top gr17 bit? Or is what I did way cooler and maybe I need to claim a FA
|
||||||
14 | ★★ Things to do While Waiting for the Apocalypse - with o_g | 20m | Average | |||
Pleasant enough but wouldn’t do again hardly a “beginners lead” the gear was kinda non existent at the start, definitely not 2 stars compared to other routes at the same area. Lower offs were a nice addition
|
||||||
17 Hard | ★★ Hooter - with o_g | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Brilliant climbing, the runout to the piton provides the perfect amount of spice to question your meaning of life, the climbing isn’t difficult and the grading is good but the gear is probably fairly rude for a 17 wouldn’t recommend it as your first 17 trad, highly recommend doing this however

15 ~14 | ★ Women - with o_g | 17m, 7 | Average | |||
Some of The rock was nice In sections, there’s nice rock in lots of places , I didn’t really enjoy this. It seemed like an accompaniment route, I kinda get why it was bolted. but wouldn’t do it again
|
||||||
20 | ★ Slaves - with o_g | 17m, 8 | ★ Good | |||
this route had no chalk and added to the fun I enjoyed the crux it was great, well bolted I didn’t see any issues. I think the start is meant to be climbed left of the bolts but the bolts are out right to help make it safe. Worthwhile climbing I’d do it again

Yet another route I’ve tried to sample at the factory, I’m not so sure about the crux shut me down mega only day 1

Colosseum Area Plebeian Wall | ||||||
21 | ★ Pleb's Rusticus - with o_g | 12m, 5 | ★ Good | |||
21 seems fair for this line, looks like a few holds have evolved and made them self scarce under the roof making it that bit more difficult than gr20
|
||||||
19 | ★ No more heroes - with o_g | 18m, 11 | Average | |||
Great crux / start sequence let down by the grubby headwall that has never really found its vogue with traffic due to no real clear line, luckily my belayer bought a brush and started the scrub gonna be a while
|
||||||
17 | ★ Working Class Hero's - with o_g | 18m, 7 | ||||
Really great warmup route

22 | ★★ Tory Tossers - with o_g | 11m | ★ Good | |||
Unintentionally found a no hands kneebar at the ledge spoiling my “clean ascent”, nice crux easier once warmed up.
|
||||||
21 | ★ The Proletariat - with o_g | 9m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Had to work a bit for the onsight route was clean as a whistle no chalk to mark the way, but really nice climbing good to practise some safe multi pitch skills to the belay ledge,

The Shady Side Six Agile Men Area | ||||||
19 | ★ Fighting the Authorities - with o_g | 8m, 2 | ★ Good | |||
Quite a cool problem short but worthwhile thoroughly enjoyed it. Great lower off top job, perfect for my belayer to have a quick top rope turn.
|
||||||
17 | ★ Six Agile Men - with o_g | 15m, 3 | Average | |||
Awful spooky dirty warmup. Considered bailing but my belayer wanted a top rope burn so I forged on. wigged out at the end and grabbed the bolt while I put the draw on wasn’t prepared to eat shit.

18 | ★ #read the book - with Ryan Sklenica | 18m | ★★ Very Good | |||
The top section of this climb is as amazing as it gets including an all but perfectly to spec, mirage pocket 3 finger version, placed anywhere else would be suggested as a drilled pocket, this is brilliant climbing one of the best at the grades at sand river , it also boasts the greatest lower offs too. 😉
|
||||||
23 | ★★ Ra - with Ryan Sklenica | 25m, 12 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Took me a bit to work out the crux again, post crux hold has broken and subsequently now isn’t a jug making the sequence that bit more difficult, happy to allow the grade to be increased to 23

Pitch 2 was brilliant stars are for this pitch, pitch three seemed silly needs some lower offs added at the top of p2, good to see someone had put one in at the top of p1

Nice movement through the bulge cool sequence, not mind blowing quality but worth doing. Grading wise closer to 21 is my thoughts

Collected my first Tasmania tiger of the wall, can’t say I’m in a hurry to collect any more they’re not nearly as coveted as what I was lead to believe, bold climbing huge runouts, but a worthwhile trip, pitch 4 was the best,

Colosseum Area The Colosseum | ||||||
26 25 | ★★ Caligula Direct - with Thomas Cramer | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Got all the beta dialled, I can’t really see how this is any easier than the original as you still need to do the hard part of the original with a shorter but more technical start, hope to get it next trip, used up all my paassat today.

Quite hidden up the top, got it second shot, worthwhile I guess
|
||||||
23 | ★★ The Plebeian | 22m, 13 | ★ Good | |||
Couldn’t work out the crux first go, tricky sequence my fat fingers wouldn’t fit, so I jumped instead fair to say that isn’t what the first ascentionists did,

|

V5 | ★★ Fire in the Hole - with o_g | 4m | ★ Good | |||

Best route at the sector, first bolt is a long way up, elite cleaning all others take note
|

22 | ★ Grey Goshawk - with o_g | 15m | ★ Good | |||
Tricky crux, ok for the area worthwhile
|

21 | ★ Copperhead - with o_g | 10m, 3 | Average | |||
Pretty short I guess it was ok worth a trip.
|

Second go end of day was fairly tired I don’t think this is 24 but will do it again next time at the start probably needs a downgrade to 23, when I onsighted it was covered in tick marks and made it super easy, no chalk was a tad harder
|
