Most of my post-accident re-introduction to climbing has been tame, approachable, conventional crags. Being back on this monstrous monster is the sort of experience that reminds me why I've been trying to claw my way back to climbing so desperately. What a way to come back. |

What an absolutely amazing day out!! Opted to not do the direct start as it looked horrifying. The other start was fun up until the void of death. I saw Evan's foot just make it and thought it can't be too bad. Evan and I cracked ourselves laughing as we tried to figure out how I'd get across. My best solution was just to jump and go swinging. I started down climbing to let go and then realised I could just get my foot across. Fun. The second pitch I lead and got to the offwidth section and had a battle with it but it won. My blood is there for the proof. Evan seconded and ended up avoiding offwidthing by reaching to an OK hold out left. I was outraged he'd avoided the fun I'd had with it! Rest of pitch was fun! Last pitch was an absolute blast up the chimney and overall a fantastic day out!! You definitely go for the adventure. Beware it's chossy, run out and has limited pro but that's the fun of it! Will definitely do again such a fun day!

Fun day out with Paul and Jared. my gri gri decided to stop locking for 200m abseil in..... P1 was a bit choss than a 10m long traverse over a precarious washing machine-sized boulder. P2 had some great climbing but was heady on 2nd for sure. P3 Don't fuck up getting to the first bolt P4 short but good movements, the cam at the crux blocks where your hand wants to go. P5 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts P6 Black moss & choss with 10m runouts to a vertical garden boulder crux. Bolts: Vintage rusty bash-in carrots placed at an angle to instil confidence that the rust will hold you Psych: high except for Jared who was not a fan of the jumaring options. Rock quality: ehh My first Katoomba cliffs route. |

Just one more big Katoomba Cliffs -with everything that encompasses- mixed epic off the list.
I liked P2, P3 and P5, but the other pitches are really just doddly, chossy access/egress pitches. P2 had some cool, wandery, super runout face climbing, with more sideways than up. The opening mantles were tough! I got off route trying to free an old aid route at one point -eventually broke a hold and took a big whip, realised my mistake, lowered back to a big no-hands ledge, and continued onsighting the correct line. This was my favourite pitch of the route. P3 was a sketchy solo on loose rock to the first bolt, then a cool fused corner, followed by an easy, but airy traverse. P4 is just a short vertical walk. P5 necessitated pioneering some new beta since the crux breakages. I eventually figured out some very unlikely morpho beta that went at the same grade. After the crux, its some pretty wild unprotected campus traversing to the belay. P6 Is a long death by ironstone arete. Easy, but not much gear. P7 is an even more death by ironstone pitch, with even worse gear, leading to a vertical gardening exit. |

If extreme trad adventure is not your thing, choose another route 😂
Definately bring the wires, two sets probably worth it. Bring loads of slings to extend. We had about 12x 60cm draws, plus 8 medium/standard draws and ran out. I'd take about 10 extra 60's. Double rack of cams is probably enough, although we took tripples from .3 to 2.
I agree with other comments about continuing up to bolt below roof to make belay. Can back up single bomber ring bolt with 0.4 Z4 , old fixed peg , poor 0.75 placement options. This belay is excellent if running late and the sun is coming - full protection. Only issue is the full hanging belay factor. The option further down (if you have enough good pro and no sun concerns) would be more comfortable.
1 hr quick walk from top to start of route (if you know where to turn off and the way up through the rubbish tip). We climbed slowly, taking 10 hrs car to car. |

In hindsight, I had no chance of onsighting this. The crux is not obvious at all, and the carrots sure as hell don't point the way -Without chalk or wear, I can't imagine anyone realistically onsighting it. A pleasant start on orange rock, leads to a gnarly (but rad) arete sequence with some very cool pockets.

24
Proper stoked to onsight this. Super duper sustained, incredibly hard to read, spaced and kinda scary carrots, untrafficked, and draining. Lots of gritstone-esque climbing. I linked this into the bottom pitch for a 45m monster -though drag at the top was terrible.

The start is funky and kinda hard, and even the traverse is entertaining, but the headwall above is -at present- almost obligatory death with the crazy runouts, and the vegetated mossy topout. This pitch is not recommended. | 70m | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Wild! Actually thought we were climbing a totally different route... it seemed kinda hard (considering we were expecting gr23 ).
Totally worthwile, and very much "of the era". Old school, weird bits of necessary gear, antique bash-in carrots in hideous locations... but still awesome. Linked the first 2 pitches together. |

2nd shot. Had a pretty awesome no-beta flash attempt, even read the crux right, just didn't quite see it through for a single move. Awesome gr23 climbing on perfect rock with lots of cool moves between good rests, then a super punchy V4ish crux towards the end, that will test technique and balance.

Linked into P1 for a giant Pitch. Surprisingly interesting climbing the whole way, with a few tricky moves, and a sting in the tail guarding the anchor. Great rock! | 45m | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Thought this was Merl... should have read the guidebook! Turns out this was an old project, and damn it is superior to Merl, that's for sure (not really any harder, either).
Climbed as a giant pitch from the ground. Despite the rebolt, it still needs a few bolt plates to avoid being deathy. |

25 | ★★★ Echo Crack - con Ben Taylor | 190m | ★★★ Classica | ||||
Got lost on route leading 2nd pitch and ended up far left around corner on other route (grade 21?). Got destroyed by rope drag! Somehow managed to get to shale (crumbly) ledge.
Managed to free all moves 2nding 3rd (apparently crux) pitch, but had one fall and about 3 takes. Led the last pitch free for about 10m, but then had to aid the majority. I actually found this pitch more challenging than pitch 3. May have been due to several factors; leading, exhaustion, wet mossy crud in crack, crimps and stemming positions, and probably the biggest factor being the size and shape of the crack as it became not easy to fist, hand jam, or get my arm in deep enough to arm bar. I still thoroughly enjoyed this route despite the long aid slog given the position and magic. |

There are two lines of variously vegetated cruddy overgrown cracks through ironstone on this wall - both have probably been climbed and named in the past, one has a more recent SS carrot. I climbed both with little pleasure.

Decided to do a quick run up this as the poor weather was still a few hours away. Abseils in were a little gusty at times but enjoyable. First pitch went easy however second pitch the notes are a little confusing, it's definitely shorter than 25m so we spent a bit of time pushing up higher to see if it went further as well as doing some of the traverse. Pitch three was a cool. Decided to down to the traverse escape as weather was deteriorating quickly. Spend the last of the escape in the rain felt more like a canyon at that point.

A very cool mixed route, IMO. The start is a funky bit of traversing (who doesn't love a traverse crux, right?) and the face section is more varied face climbing.
