Ascensioni in Great Wall Area

Kind of fun. Placed my new BigBro for the first time.

Did the first 2 bulges of MC (the cruxes) then a LHF for fun zig-zagging up the cracks.

good moves, scenic, poor pro. would be great to second!

Bolt #4 seemed to be missing so delicate to the chains.

while rapping down of aphrodite

This is very cool actually. Some fun laybacking early and then the slab is super fun and much easier and better protected than it looks. Second pitch reminded me of Raven in the Porongurups! 4 bolts, but small to medium pieces good for in between them!

The Aphrodite section is the business.

Who doesn’t like a good hard thrutch to clear the pipes, hmmm!

always fun to pull really 3d, committing moves on trad!

cool moves on good rock - sweet.

first pitch is suprisingly cool

Nice start and then cool slabbing on the second pitch.

Cool slabby corner and then exposed bit on the 1st pitch, challenging steep corner on 2nd pitch.

Thought the first pitch was very hard! Unless I just got lost. Nice climbing but a bit broken by the slabs. Cool view at this end of the cliff.

Adventure route++ Exhilarating series of bulges, a nice slab (with protection) followed by a tip toe traverse under the overhang (a bit off route at this point with impending rope drag). A short pitch to the shady Callitris ledge. No time for the 2nd pitch - twilight and some rain drops cut it short.

seconded ronnie up this "sandbag deathtrap"

2nd shot. sic route.

Has its moments.

Pleasant enough, then after passing chockstone the rock deteriorated a bit.

Went to the Great Wall but it was too hot so did this shady chimney, only the first ~30m to the ledge so could rap off the BFF anchors. Standard chossy runout easy chimney stuff.
