Ascensiones en Yesterday's Groove Area

Pitch 3 is worth some hype. Great movement, varied and a potential heart breaker last move.

Awesome route, with all pitches having exciting and engaging sections. One of the most consistenly interesting multis out this way. Will be back to clean it up, the two crux sections both got me, but it all goes, and well worth it.

Just what the doctor ordered for the second multi of the day - jugs! This is a classic blueys multi which really deserves to see more ascents.

Epic multi, all pitches high quality. Deployed the 100m static for an easy rap in for this and rutger

Could never claim the on-site because I had seen someone's beta for the third pitch in the comments section, nevertheless thrilled to get the 3rd pitch clean first go and my goodness it's a fantastic pitch of climbing! Worth the some what intimating abseil exposure.

Excellent climbing with nice exposure and thrilling crux finale sequence

This is probably the best short multi I've ever done. The approach was already a small adventure, as those raps are long and exposed as hell. Pitches 1 and 2 are a lot of fun and I was quite stoked to onsight pitch 2. I'm claiming an onsight of the route here cause I didn't fall anywhere, but I seconded the crux pitch (3), and without Andrew's beta wouldn't have made it, so would have been a different story on the sharp end. Pitch 4 is not on par with the others (but it's not terrible), but 1 and 2 are great, and 3 is absolutely sensational. I really want to lead it next time — note to self at crux: once getting to the small crimps, make sure to note where that left foot 'slot' is before you move up, that makes all the difference in the world. Then hand jam in the crack higher up, sort feet, change to undercling, attack the gastone on the right, and find the high jug. What an experience and what a position.

Helicopters, snow & rainbows. What a special day

Great Day out.Killer line. Location-location-location!

Pretty wet at top of first pitch and during the crux hands traverse, but even still it was completely ok at the grade. 3rd pitch is very good! Must remember to dry out my chalk bag! Don't be put off by a bit water!

Fun, low admin multi. Joined 2 ropes for the rap to avoid trailing a line, which worked well and allowed another quick run up Slaughter Falls afterwards.

Awesome way to cap off a fun day 😁 stoked

Will have to come back for the last pitch. Really happy to get the second pitch clean. A bit wet here and there. Didn't stem that much. Just face climbed most of it. Heaps of choss to keep you thinking.

I was silently shitting it before this one. I had teed this up with nathan after mouthing off about it at the freezer a week ago and it really only occured to me the night before how ambitious this really was. An airy rap down and we were under the climb. How many 24s you done? Nathan asked. Not many. I set off up the wet open book and surprised myself with a dogless run up the 40m opener. Panting as i brought up nathan. He blasted out an onsight for p2 which i came to appreciate greatly when it came my turn. Found that top section nails even with some draw pulling. We were looking good around midday for top of p2 and we could practically see the finish line. I took the lead back for p3 intending to belay after the traverse and let nath lay siege to the overhung finish. I remembered how scary traverses were at the start of the big ledge and did the only thing i know how.. find a rest. Not just any rest on this occasion. I catapulted half my body into the filthy cavelet above the rail and shuffled across for 10m clipping bolts. Feeling as though i had cheated my way to the anchors, i shimmied along until the cave ran out and i found some incut sand crimps to lower my trembling body off the ledge and onto some footer. 1 hard sequence to the anchors. Faffed around for quite a while trying to find the sequence and eventually committed. Until today i had never powerscreamed and couldnt understand how one could exert themselves sufficiently to require it. I pulled in and snatched a hold that i just managed to maintain and bellowed out a yell over the grose valley. The next 4 seconds were slow-mo and i resigned myself to the fact that i could not compress enough to make the next snatch. I took the swing down. After a few attempts, i had a go at traversing lower and making my way up a very dodgy looking flake by swinging through the blank section. I pulled my body weight onto the flake and it exploded off the wall. At this point morale had hit rock bottom. 10m of rope ascension just to get back to the draw and a retreat back across the traverse lay ahead. I made the grim trip back and nathan had a crack. I was immediately happy with my horizontal chimney decision because the face traverse looked insane. Once we were both across with much rope and gear assistance, we jugged out the fixed rope we had set for the first rap. With beer and burgers on our minds, we sorted the gear and trooped back to the van bound for the pub in blackheath where an old drunk lady gave 'our generation' shit for being glued to our phones. This one has to go into the 'epic' category. Not because of the drunk lady, that wasnt too much skin off the back. Some lessons were learnt; not throwing myself at traverse pitches 3 points above my max while on a rap-in multi would be one, and if i am, at least confirm said pitches are aidable. I was stoked to try hard on exposure and climb aswell as i did today. It was a positive experience overall and lucky to benefit from the level-headedness of nath solving problems and getting us up the hill to safety.

Lead pitch 1&3 .Awesome technical moves on the first two pitches, really enjoyable flow peppered by some spicy sequences.i found the last moves on pitch 3 to be nails, and couldn’t find anywhere to clip from, didn’t feel like taking the swinging whipper more than once so ended up pulling through those moves (we fixed a rope up top for the first rap)

Fun route, a nice day out.

One of the best muti-pitch climbs in the area. Pitch 1, 2 and 3 are all really good but pitch 3 is a classic. Great climb well bolted. Awesome line.
