FFA. Haha still marvelled at why we climbed this after walking out all this way - but it was definitely worth it at the time, and probably got our eye in on climbing chossy dolerite cracks! Actually quite a funtechnical wide-crack affair. Take plenty of bigger cams.
What a rad experience! Everything about this adventure feels like it has catalysed a step up in my climbing - from the big hike-ins and gear shuttle-runs, to the reccying, rapping in, cleaning and then climbing of the face in a committing position. Whilst a far-cry from my original goal of putting up a new sea-to-summit route on the face, I'm still super happy with the adventure we ended up having! Will return to link this to the grassy ledge below, though will need to bring more big gear.
Didn't climb the first pitch clean as I had to lower and retrieve gear as I already used my double #1s and #2s and had 15m of #1/#2 crack to go to the top! Will need triples (or quadruples?) next time. Also had a boogie-board sized rock almost come out of the crack and land on my ropes, though just managed to stop it with my feet before it came out. Spookyyyy.
1st pitch was the standout imo - a sustained corner splitter with few cheat holds on the faces. 2nd pitch had cool moves on great rock off the deck, then a fun, scary, 8m runout to the anchor in up and around a blunt arete (good work Shabbi!). 3rd pitch was megaaa with fantastic climbing up twin/triple corner cracks to the summit on sub-par rock that spiced things up a bit haha.
