Ascensiones de Harlequin Cracks

Very nice, varied, "old-fashioned" climbing up the corner of the first pitch. We kept up the line of the corner on the top pitch to avoid a queue and that was as good.

Not the easiest approach. Would do the third pitch direct up the corner next time. Lacing up the zigzag line would cause a lot of drag. There are some alternate, more direct options that are a little more difficult but also look well protected.

We did the climb as two pitches combining pitch 1 & 2. Went through the bottom less chimney (sandbagged grade 12) instead of taking the easier diversion option. Getting up and into the chimney was the most fun part of the climb. It was well protected the whole way but a lot of vegetation on the last pitch.

Downclimb... Route 2

First climb back after a long break… couldn’t quite get the head in the game. Nice climbing with plenty of good gear and some great positions

Been keen for this line for a while... Worth doing!

First pitch was great, one of the best 11's at the mount, the second and third were pretty standard arapiles jug hauls though, nothing to write home about

The first pitch is the pitch

Interesting climb with some crack jamming and face climbing. The first pitch felt considerably harder than the third yet they are the same grade? If you can't jam at all it might not be nice. Face right at the top of the first pitch to get onto the belay ledge. I nearly missed this and was about to pull up over the loose blocks. Second pitch was lovely. Watch for rope drag on the third pitch.

Very fun stemming climb.

Seconding starkey

Grovelled up the 2 little approach gullies to find another party had nipped around us, had to wait for them to get up the first pitch, during which time ShiChang nearly killed me walking out on the big tippy block I was sitting under. First pitch is good, then ran 2 and 3 together, but a bit meh. Skipped the final dogleg and punched straight up through the overlap to make it more interesting, one hard move at maybe grade 16?.

Got a bit lost scrambling to the base of this - but the first pitch is nice!

Epic approach in the wet. Nice first pitch.

Lovely and interesting first pitch, other pitches were average.
