Ascensions dans Fatman Buttress contenant Bêta

Nice easier climbing to second bolt..then a series of punchy sequences between 2nd and 3rd. Hopefully can link it together at some point. x2 laps

A few burns with mixed success. Made it from the ground past the slab crux on one, gotta work on the top cross through now to smooth it out. Seems realistic maybe!

Sussed moves and hung draws. climbed very diferently to what I expected

Fell with a barn door on the jug after the crux

Sent in full sun, definate ground fall if you came off clipping the 2nd bolt, which is a little scary considering there are no handholds. The rest of the bolting is good and nuts or small cams can be taken for the top if desired. A super quality and technical route.

Some nice moves while they last. Extended runner on second bolt as it’s in a dicky spot

Nice movement. Cruxy start, into pumpy slabbing up sidepull rails. Also top roped a RH variant up double aretes that links in at 3rd bolt at about the same grade

Very fun movement. Nice being longer to span between the aretes

Surprisingly independent variant start. Healthy amount of spice thrown in to keep you on your toes. A #4 camalot works well getting to 1st bolt.

With the right beta, this is less height specific, but definitely reach the way I went.

Put an extended draw from the anchor to make the run out a bit less intimidating, definitley helped the head.

Pretty tasty. Could & should be a popular route with a good clean & an extra bolt somewhere in the middle section. Got the crux off the deck fine, then had a foot blow on some lichen patch a fair way above the metal spike...gear around the spike held...phew. Nice finish after that part. I'd recommend pre-clipping the first bolt when rapping in.

Awesome and underrated route. So much character and variety

Not a good one for grade 21 leaders

Must do route....excellent

Awesome climbing up a awesome pole!

Alziemers onsight. Had top roped it once before ages ago. Fantastic climbing. Must be one of the best face/arete climbs in the gorge.

Really good!! One of those routes where everything is just right where it's meant to be.

Absolutely superb climbing. Disappointed that I chickened out of leading it.

Finding the path down to it was a pain, but worth it in the end! What an awesome climb!

Beauty!

This is a awesome climb did few laps on top rope Carla top belated she wasn’t keen on the climb out

What a ridiculous winter adventure! I had so much fun. Starting at the downstream end of Fatman Buttress, and traversing above the water to Gabriel. 4 degree shirtless mornings are not recommended but are now proven to work. Some really great moves along the way as well as some very ordinary and chossy sections. Try not to fall because most of the route is not above deepwater, rather pointy hidden boulders. At high tide some of the foot holds are just submerged but the safety of the route improves a little bit. I will likely not do this again or suggest it as a good idea for anyone else but it was definitely fun.

super route

Last nights sparkle overdose did not help with this ascent but I made it.

Got flash pumped and fell above the 3d bolt, got it on the second try. Excellent climb

Always grand. Flooded gorge adding to the atmosphere. x2 lead laps

great moves on the steepest rock in the george, had to fight for it.

First go to see how I feel... Different style for me. But felt pretty solid

Amazing climb

So good!! Awesome climbing on quality rock with great views. Gem of a route.

Exit climb

So good!

Top rope lap. Moved straight through the spot where I fell on the first attempt.

Amazing line. Great feature, location and climbing. Had a small fall above the second bolt and blew the onsite. Will return for a redpoint burn.

Really classy climb

A shorter route than im used to writing a crag adventure tale for but this one deserves it. What an absolute feature. Wed jumped on a couple lines at feltham and right man and liked the convenience of the taste tester splitters so we decided it was time to seek out the kind of climb thats worth 2 fixed ropes, a weird squeeze and a 'you run that way ill go this way meet back here in 5' crag search with an imminent storm approaching. We found it in 20 minutes or so and boy was it impressive! Yim onsighted, i flashed. Yim reckons dabbing the main wall at half height is in.. i reckon hes lucky im not a boulderer. We raced to get the draws off and scurried up the hill to sanctity. A fantastic 'supposed to be a rest day' at the gorge to round out the uqmc gangs tassie trip.

Fun. Cédric says "the Pole Dancer prepared me to onsight this thing" 😆. Rough approach though, and struggled to localise the other climbs down there so it was just for that one.

Terrific. Outstanding. Knife blade arete slapping.

Good.

Exhilarating lead ⭐⭐⭐

I thought it was nice, but the 20 on the shady side is way better. Also, what's up with that last bolt? Run-out to the last bolt, but then it's literally 1m more to the anchor. I put an extender on it.

Wicked climb. Will go for the sports lead next time.

glad I led it strait up, second bolt less airy than expected, my head kicked in at the 3rd. Bomber climb
