Ascensions de Normal Route

Just as good the second time. Dans turn to swim. Linked pitch 1 and 2

Did the third pitch again as a recovery of stuck tryloean rope. After climbing the NW corner earlier in the day this route is shite in comparison. Not only is it only marginally easier, all the gear is remarkably worse.

Lead on 2 and 4

Helmets not optional... So many loose rocks!! Great day otherwise though, took it real easy, perhaps too easy and topped out and traversed off in the dark.

Pretty rad climb, very chossy before the ledge. Took a lot longer than we expected

Great fun, a bit chossy. Took a solid couple hours but not too hard or sandbagged

A day to be remembered. Thanks Dan for doing the swim!

Amazing and eventful day out. Swim went smoothly with fairly friendly seas. First pitch was ok climbing. First half of second pitch was nice, then lots of loose dirt and rock and some awkward chimneying to finish up to the ledge. Third pitch was very nice climbing in the crack to the right of the chimney. Climbed up onto the big chockstone at the top of the chimney, then headed rightish up under then past a little rooflet to the belay ledge. This section was probably around gr17/18 the way I did it (or I was just wrecked). Had to bail from here back to the start of the pitch when our third person got caught in a rockfall near the start of this pitch. A series of rocks at the base of this section of the chimney (to the right of the belay ledge) spewed out and down the rest of the route and into the water. Her foot was injured, so we bailed and made the escape tyrolean at this point from the double bolts on the big ledge at the top of the second pitch. Hard work since it is slightly lower than the bolts on the mainland at this point, and we hauled the injured climber to assist getting across. Highly recommend a rope protector if doing this traverse as the rope rubs badly on the Candle Stick side. Our protector was well munched!

Wicked day out with plenty of adventure, rope issues, loose rocks, epic views, scary exit. Scotty lead most, I lead the loose 3b pitch

A very excellent adventure in a wild and amazing place. I did the crux swim and set up a tyrolean for Laura and Brendan. The climbing was mostly pretty good. First three pitches are a bit grovelly in chimneys, but gear was mostly good. Last pitch is great on good clean rock. The tyrolean back to the mainland was awesome! Had a few stuck rope shenanigans which resulted in a late finish, but the walk out in the moonlight was beautiful. You've out outdone yourself again Tasmania.

Great day out with Lars. Figuring out how to get back to the mainland without splatting was probably the technical crux...

Richie swam over. I led everything. Got benighted. Awesome exposure.
