Ascents in World by Brendan Heywood

We both rapped of in different directions seeing what else was around. Couldn't leave this nice little hand and fist crack undone. We hadn't planned on climbing anything so the only pro we had was a single blue cam - a second cam would have been great. Clipped the jumar on the rap line as a workaround

I lead this as a single pitch. Super fun. The start was a little weepy, and there was a light drizzle as I topped out. When we rapped off the brand new doubles, we had some pretty kinky tails to unwind.

Another super fun classic. I linked 3 & 4 together. Met a school group at the top. First experience of going down the chains which was a little hair raising. Back at car at 3:30

Great little route to access the Tannin ledge. While setting up for Tannin and eating some food my helmet took a small tumble which then escalated and fell all the way to the ground. It didn't seem to noticed.

A great wind down after all the hype of Kachoong. Relaxed arvo climb watching the birds of prey, and the moon rise on dusk and just soaking it up and avoiding thinking that we'll need to go home soon.

We'd eye this off while bouldering underneath it so didn't have a great sense of scale and thought it would be mostly offwidth and I was keen due to my hand still not being ready for crimping. It ended up climbing quite nicely, it felt like a small segment of a much larger multi pitch

Done this way back in the mists of time, very likely a couple times

Super fun, stoked to onsight the FA thinking this would be baggy fists but its solid hands almost all the way

This cleaned up fairly nicely into a pure crack problem without the features to the left which we thought would be needed. Could be a couple variants. All over in 2-3 moves but still good fun. Still not sure I'd want to solo boulder it.

Based on the dust and cobwebs this probably doesn't see much traffic but it's pretty neat. If we hadn't left some gear at the bottom we would have been done for the day but it was a really great little one to finish up with. Nice to have some jams for a change and switch up the muscle groups.

The first third is horribly hollow and loose for gear but otherwise climbs well. Topped out on the ledge. Didn’t do the crack which needs a good clean. Not inspired to lead it

Cruisy lead, loose block scared the hell out of me even though I knew it was there

Great little climb until the end and then a gross dirty scramble to the top. Crack gloves felt perfect

Pretty sure I've done this yonks ago, brilliant sustained jams and very happy to do it clean. Somehow managed to completely munt a rigid stem friend about half way up, it's now a permanent feature All three of us had a go at retrieving it.

Not sure if I've done this before but this route is great

Really nice and naturally clean

Had a brief mini tantrum after discovering my harness was ... not present. Textbook hand jams, a delightful warmup.

Benji and Ben went earlier and I knocked off mid arvo and trundled up stylishly late. They'd had a solid session and Ben had already cracked the crux which is just sick. Benji had a go at leading up the first slab and roof crack pitch. Apparently they'd had an epic cleaning session and it showed. After Benji retreated I had a go and "flashed" it. The caveat is I had been on this on our very first session here but I had retreated from the sea of choss, loose dinner plates, and since trundled death boulders.

Benji reckons its a legit flash because it's genuinely so different. It actually climbs well with a fun left hip stretching move through the bulge. Apparently there is a cave I need to explore in there which I completely missed.

Quick run up after scotty

I loved this route, naturally clean fist crack to perfect hands and just a bit of finger spice a the end. And a perfect clean topout. Led on Alan's gear but moved the gear around at the crux as it was in the way

Ben led this and we thought it was an FA. I pink pointed and my sequence was very different, I had a solid knee bar in from the first move (of course I did) and I felt very secure dragging that back step up the whole way until you can stand for the easy vertical crack part

Led it with a sag a meter from the top. Clean second go

Felt a bit anxious but went down. Did a little pop at the crux but caught it and kept going

Such a nice consistent climb

A sneaky 3 hour gorge trip before school pickup. Slowly chipped away over ~5 attempts. Benji worked it and sent it quite smoothly. I butchered it, did the crux and then fell off and got rope burn on my elbow. Next go I sent it despite butchering it even more. I didn't have a single solid jam just pure desperate levitation grovel. Grade is definitely harder than Savage Amusement (supposedly 22), Prime Cut 20, Luce 21. It's not 23, but I think 22 isn't unreasonable. Feels maybe on par with Pub Grubs at 3rd breakaway.

Broke in the new purple

Pretty cruisy, crack is a little gravelly

Real cool little line. Was expecting a fight but flashed it and felt solid all the way

A mix of slab and jams from tips to fists, nice finish to glory jug

Second go did it almost pure layback and much easier. A couple jams at the roof to rest, burned through the second layback section and got a no hands rest in the possum hole. Such a nice route

Lovely rock, perfect first lead for Simon. If only this went for 5 pitches

Short and lovely. As we were packing up my new downie blew into the water and Simon was a champ and went for a brisk swim. Walk out was hard, slow, cramped up a lot

YUS! 3 goes, first was typical flash pump first route of the day. Second was a pretty close one hang. Three is a charm! It is still winter but the sundeck was cooking

Flowey

Great route with interesting crux, the top section needs more cleaning and wigged me out and I finished up to the right instead

Nice but my stamina is woeful

Was going to second Adam up the tote but bailed with high wind and rain. Eventually jumped on this.

A little gritty, did the right crack start, chicken wings in big crack, crux hand crack I found pretty hard with cold fingers, spat off a footer close to the top. Rock is ok unlike the thing Chris L did to the right.

Got there on dusk optimistic about how much time we had. Chris L rocked it, I wasn't feeling the love, cold numb climbing with my pack on flailing badly in the dark.

Thrutching. Cracks! It's been a while

Rapped off and scrubbed the top, not realising how overhung it was so didn't clean the bottom as much as I could have. Benny scrubbed the right line. Did the first half clean on second and then was pumped silly.

Second run, had to clean it and the bottom 4 wires needed a lot of tickling to get out. Rooted.

Warmup, my jams are super rusty

Start shut me down, my hand jams are solid but this was thinner and fingers / cups aren't solid at all. After Ben fought his way up I aided up as the sun set

One rest at crux

carol lee had a few cracks at this but was defeated by the wet spooge gushing out of the first meter of the crack. Jumped on and was pretty happy to power through this and up to half way to the last good stance before the hand crack widens to not-quite-fists and then I regressed into the worse pumped out dogging / aiding / grunting. Finally got to the head wall and then went right for a subterranean burrow (after being warned by Ben Vincent not to go this way)

This had Alan's gear and a top rope still on, so after a bit of creative fishing to reach down to the rope I rapped off and did a lap. Sat on the rope to get the crux nut out.

Not sure why I chose an offwidth fist crack as a warm up, totally shut down as the crack widened

Looks like good hands but thinner once you get on it, good finger workout

At another time this experience should have left me despondent, but somehow after humping and aiding the crap out of a vegetated offwidth crack full of lomandra I got to the top happy. Closer to type 1 fun than type 2 fun.

So I jumped on this thinking it was Go-pher guts, because I thought the other crack further left was Masquerade which turns out to be an unclimbed crack.

Totally spanked me, this is my second day on rock since the A2. Lots of dogging / aid and then finished up 'Go-Pher guts'. It's a great route

The starting moves on this are ace, the whole route is wicked. Popped off on the last hard move out left before the top, with beta finished it easily

Usual story, flash pump and then had a rest, then clean to top after I was warm
