등정들 Kaputar에서 Tick로서

Gorgeous views with a mostly chill route, until a couple of metres in the final third. Awesome to be able to see the mountains from such a unique perspective and climb the dinosaur. Completed this unroped as a solo party as Mum wasn’t too keen on it. About 4hrs car to car with an already sore leg. So happy to say that I’ve completed this route.

Great adventure! Truly like climbing along a stegosaurus’ spine!! Exciting position, mostly straight forward scrambling with a few thought-provoking sections. The best climbing is in the second half of the full traverse - it is worth going along the whole length. There is some exposure but we felt comfortable throughout unroped and in approach shoes.

Half of the traverse, including an ascent of the SW corner (16?) to retrieve a stuck rap rope.

Three starred mega classic scrambling, incredible location, stunning vistas, some exciting moves at the grade with some high winds thrown in- sooooo gooood!

Sick scramble getting chased from the rain and high winds, met some goats on the bush bash back, some scary sections but happy to have mountain guide Yim showing the way

Great climb/traverse, but don't underestimate the exposure (I might have...).

5.5hrs with a party member that didn't have much experience. Nothing too serious until rodeo rock, the last 1/3 could feel pretty full on at times. I'd definitely recommend a rope for protecting less confident party members.

Epic day out, the pictures don't do it justice, the stegosaurus back description is extremely accurate for the middle section. The rock is incredibly formed and has perfect jugs absolutely everywhere you need them, none of the up/downclimbing is at all difficult due to this, although it is very exposed.

The last third of the traverse is absolutely awesome with some sick bouldery sections on amazing jugs. At one point we reached a boulder that Greg straddled to get over while Jack traversed over while Jack awkwardly squeezed under. I opted for the straddling beta as it looked too fun, even more fun was Greg and Jack panicking and yelling that the boulder was moving a lot, which I assumed was them taking the piss until they said it a couple more times that I probably had a pretty priceless expression as I carefully got off what I now know from old logs as the *rodeo boulder" apt name. Bush bash to the car.

We climbed this originally because greg wanted to up his km count on his crag profile. The benefit in the end was that everyone was stoked to bumo their km account on thecrag. Turns out we are a bunch of social media whores. After being inspired by darrens campfire stories at balor, greg yim and i bivvied in the campsite at kaputar. Despite a no falls trip in the bungles, will tripped and got himself a couple flappers, i fell over while walking and greg almost capsized a huge floating boulder. Despite these 'ground falls', were calling it sends all round. Beauty views, horrifying winds and some decent exposure paired with some juggy scrambling reminiscent of araps. The guide said this was like climbing a stegosaurus' back. Yim: 'yeah! The boys climbed steak sauce'. Stop making us all hungry mate.

Amazing! Such a beautiful climb along the spine of the stegasaurus. A couple of interesting moves. We opted to not ride the rodeo boulder but to climb below and traverse with much exposure! We didn’t take rope but climbing shoes were very handy.

Great day out! If you're taking someone new to scrambling and exposure expect to take longer than 3 - 4 hours. We took 6hrs car to car. Used the rope twice, once at the down climb where the sling is (obvious block seemed a bit loose so used something a bit further back). Lowered partner and then down climbed myself. Second time was over the oft mentioned block. Easy moves, but lots of exposure. Scramble definitely gets more exciting towards the back end. We descended the obvious gully near the end. Continued straight on, skirting/scrambling over the rocks on our right into a clear patch. This was the heaviest scrub, then linked up open sections back to the start. Always stay high if in doubt to avoid the thick scrub.

Great fun with amazing views, last 3/4 is when the fun starts,

Top roped to the last bolt then lead the last little bit to the anchors

Ruined my perfect streak on this route dammit. Popped a foot and whipped. Clean after that

Rpt. May feel more 21 side of 20

Rptsmall wires needed to adequately protect. Find it harder of the two.

Rpt, not a good ground up option due to risk of hitting the ground

Definitely the easier of the two. Rpt
