Ascensions dans World trad par Ashley Felton

A really cool adventure route, in a (relatively) accessible location, with fun moves, great exposure, good (for Bluff Knoll) protection and an easy walk-off. What's not to love?

A fun route that I really enjoyed returning to after a few years. Bomber gear and comfortable belay positions.

A fine-enough climb, and not worth the effort of the approach.

Very cool adventure climbing, in a gorgeous location. The lengthy approach is well worth the effort.

Sweet little trad line, very protectable.

Good, but I don't think I'll ever feel the urge to do this again.

Good way to practice placing gear.

Good climbing. A bit thin up top, but protectable.

Couple of neat moves.

Idle hands can be dangerous.

Second pitch only due to rough seas. Intimating for a first taste of WCH. I was glad to be seconding.

An excellent line, but: sandbagged, much? The first pitch is much harder than the grade suggests. Second pitch is very pleasant, and much easier.

A lovely line of mild trad. Second pitch is the best, but it's all a good time.

A pleasure to get on this again.

Short, but great for practising cam placements.

Kinda slabby

Saved the best line for very last. Superb moves on an amazing line. Well-deserved mega classic.

A lovely route with nice, straightforward protection.

No gear placements, no rope drag. Superb rock and an atmospheric line. Sublime.

Sustained and oh so satisfying. This is why we visit. A sensational route.

Not a bad warmup.

Exposure, much? You're going into space if you fall off the second pitch. And that roof chimney on the third! Fantastic route.

The iconic Arapiles route. An amazing line with some commitment required on the upper two pitches. Beta: take two bolt plates and some large cams.

Done as one pitch. And what a pitch: solo the squeeze chimney to start, then stem your way up the chasm for the rest. Perfect friction all the way, and a cheeky little run-out at the end to add spice.

A completely superb lineup for these two routes. Second pitch had a surprisingly bouldery start, and that overhang on the third!

An absolute cracker. Delicate, careful moves needed for the start of this one. Good protection, but not obvious - you have to think about it. My pitch of the day, for sure.

Some tasty exposed bulges to pull through on the second pitch. Shame that it wasn't a little more like that all the way.

Great fun. First pitch is the harder, more insecure one with some non-obvious moves. Second pitch is a classy box chimney and much more straightforward.

A fine little single pitch. In Perth this would be a must do at any crag, over here it's a bit eclipsed by all the other classics nearby.

A fine start to our day. Easy start up the crack, then a gripping bouldery exposed move out onto the face, then lovely moves up the face to finish. You Victorians are keeping all the good stuff for yourselves.

Great fun!

A technical, unique mega-classic. First pitch was my pitch of the day.

Totally classy. Every pitch a joy to climb.

Pitch of the day. Technical, fun and great protection. A sensational route.
