Ascensions dans Australie trad par Phil Ward

Very easy up the ramp - head up the face to the left for a bit more of a challenge.

Great climbing crack to crack.

This is 12?? Clearly Buffalo and I dont understand each other yet...

A bit of chimneying and a hand traverse. Trad anchor in moss. Not worth the walk down, though - rap rings, anyone?

First outing on Buffalo crack - coarse!

P3 is the most difficult to protect. Otherwise a great climb.

Funky little palm-press in the middle. Top rings make sense for the continuation, but make lowering-off to clean this pitch a bit more challenging.

Quite run out at times.

Zero exposure - quite disappointing. It's the scrunched up nature of the traverse that provides the difficulty. One of those climbs that looks more impressive from the ground, unfortunately.

Great arete climbing. Can be protected with a large hex if no #4 cam available.

Tricky start past first bolt.

Slabby and easily protected.

Super fun - but a very soft grade

Careful with the sparse pro.

Have to get inventive with the pro. Not loads of obvious opportunities.

Fun and slabby

I can't imagine what Grade 2 would be like!

Reachy trad section above the bolts

Shows how a great route can be ruined by a cheap bolting job

Unpleasant trad crack with no top anchors - a production to get off it!

An awkward chimney start, but easier after escaping right to the ledgy slab.

Technical moves on the thin slab first pitch, then an easy rooflet on the second.

Tough through the thin wall up top after gutsing through the finger crack.

Chunky hand traverse below, across and over the bulge.

Second pitch is pretty run out and quite lame.

Slippery in the rain.

Climbed in the rain. Run out traverse, but great hands.

Handjams of all shapes and sizes. More strenuous than The Eternity.

A total classic - great moves, and easily protected.

The pro on this is more of a challenge than OTYA

Great traversing - keep your second honest with a healthy runout

Low-grade corner crack ramble

A tough arete move for the grade, gets harder to read the route higher up.

Number 11 hex for the win! Bring plenty of big pro.

Fun but very short.

Awkward start, rambly middle and poorly protected top-out.

A crack classic - easy fists down low, then narrows on the diagonal. Easily protected.

Funny for 16 - take care with pro after last bolt.

Balancy moves on a slab.

Powerful first pitch and great bulge move on P2

A great low grade crack.

Seriously sustained

Absolutely a crack classic!

The second pitch is balls - a scrabbly bushwalk with loads of rope drag

Mega choss.

Grade 4 - but still not sure I'd want to use this as the main descent gully!

Walking up this ramp is rather like walking up a ramp.

Awkward transition from layback to crack near top.

Thin and slabby - run out and desperate at times. This route is 18 not 15 as it says here!

Run out at the top, but it's pretty easy up there

Hand jams in the breaks and thin on the face
