First gear fall of the trip.

Struggled to get established on P3. Retreated because I am quite fond of my ankles and I did not like my chances of not decking.

Good first route of the trip. Fun movement in the second pitch then a surprisingly on move followed by pleasant stemming on the third pitch

Pitch 1

Linking pitches 2-3 doesn’t work well. Recommend linking 1-2 if trying to save some time

Have actually seconded this before but recall nothing useful so will claim the lazy onsight

Lovely rock. Some tat at the end if pitch one needs cutting and removing. Don't nick your own rope!

Adequate pro on the face!

worth one star, nice rock good moves, too many rests

if it werent for the big rest in the middle this would be the best 23 at the mount

great fun

Swapped, I started.

Really good. Enjoyed every pitch. This weekend I learned I am not good at seeing obvious stem moves. Thought the first pitch was harder than the second.

Interesting climbing with a great 3rd pitch

AN ABSOLUTE SNORKELLER!!

Had a snorkel of a time!!

bridging practice

The final pitch is exciting and well worth the trip. Protection is adequate along the way. Rap out from bolts above pitch 3 and tat above pitch 1.

no harder than watchtower crack

So good, but didn't find the required whisper of courage, instead placed overcammed cam and pumped myself out trying to fix it! Will be back for sure.

Found courage with rope above me...

Commiting traverse but consistent!

One painful dislocated shoulder that came back into place on the final pitch while fighting it out to the end, all in one epic snorkel finding adventure 🤿🥳

Previously top roped.

Good powerful moves on great rock.

A lot of time spent hanging on trying to work out the way to go

First pitch is a gem.

Worth a spin, some tricky climbing. May be a little strong for the grade.

The direct start. Two ropes would have been kinda useful

Lead 2 and 3. BETA FOLLOWS: Excellent final pitch! Other commenters seem to be missing the good small wire placement on the chimney's edge of the left wall a few metres up.

Somehow I slipped on the last pitch! Good fun though.

Lead first pitch, seconded the others. The 17 is a super tough pitch for average chimney climbers such as myself! Overall fun climb.

Yeah pitch three was rad and not much gear at the start so a bit committing for the first few moves.

Strung P1&2 together, then Timmy took over for the sketchy start to P3.

Led P3. Tricky start followed by a runout but good fun

Good first and second pitch. Third one has a very tricky start with no protection for a while, which could lead to decking... Very commiting when leading at that grade. We'll try again

The first two pitches were great and the third one looked like fun but we decided to bail ( which is easy from the top of the second pitch ) because the first moves were unprotected, committing and a fall would lead to hitting the platform. All in all not a great recipe, but we'll be back after building up more confidence at the grade.

Pushing my grade here. Led all three pitches. Start of first pitch is tricky for a 14, rest of p1 and all of p2 cruising. p2 has a nice small cave at the top. Belayed on the boulder right under the crux of p3. The whole climb would've been three stars if the start of p3 were been better protected. There are two small cams on the lip, but then the next 4 m has no pro, and I'm pretty sure I would've decked from 5-6 m height right on the big boulder. Crack is too wide for #6. A single bolt would be nice here. That all said, the moves are just fantastic. Don't get distracted by thinking of climbing the face on the left. You'd get to the letterbox and then there's no way out of there. Bridging is king here, and it's a great and fun way.

The first pitch is quite exciting, but the roof pitch takes the cake. Definitely worth playing on.
