Ascensões em West Face (Main Area)

Found the 20m juggy grey wall below a small orange overhang. Grade 5 lichen jugs, ledge at 6m, vegetated crack at 8m so could be pro enough to go. Made 3 moves and retreated.

Scrambled up on left of pillar to close-up the '67 bolt seen from below. Just as well, as no ancient climbs marked and very hard to see what's what from below. Cam break atop pillar as excellent as the view of the Three Sisters across the valley. Right-leaning crack above will go on trad, not a piton in sight.

ALMOST a classic. Very sustained and intense steep-ish technical face climbing on beautiful rock. This route looks impossible from the ground! Like a longer (and probably harder) version of The Cramps at Theory of Negativity Wall , this felt TOUGH with no chalk or wear on the holds and I only just squeaked it. The long crux section will test the diversity of your technique, as well as your footwork. Easier climbing once you get to the arête, though steep and very exposed.

Nice wall - untrafficked!

Good moves, reasonably sustained

In the upper echelon of Very Good, and a true landmark feature of a scale and intimidation that is rare for Blueys Trad. I offwidth'd a bit more than Neil, but Monty demonstrated that it can be done entirely through stemming, so no need to get your thrutch on. I climbed this mostly as a sport route, using the 5 bolts, 2 cams, and 1 thread in 30m. Rock quality is mostly brilliant, with only a few sections of sandy junk. The ending traverse out right is exhilarating, though I accidentally cheated the end by going directly up the slab from the end of the traverse, and moving back left a metre or so to the anchors (you're supposed to step back left above the roof, and go straight up to the anchor).

Amazing wide corner crack. It was hard to find it, but Jake and Dan weren’t giving up that easily. Intimidating at first, but once you’re on it, it just flows. We do not own huge gear, so we had to dig deep and fill in the worrying space between bolts with whatever we could get. In order from bottom to top, #3, #4, #1, #.75, another #.75 on flake on roof ( which looked sketchy as) an another #1 on break just around the arete as you shimny out of the roof. While placing that piece on the roof, I managed to lock in a solid knee bar, which allowed me to stay there, no hands, getting the best placement on the sketchy flake. One thing o need to mention, that flat foot/ hand hold on the edge of the crack, less than a meter down from the 3rd bolt, is about to break off!!! I pulled on it and it creaked. You can see the hair like cracking all around it. I will come off and it’s fairly big. It’s worrying because the belayer has no where to run if that comes down. Beware and have your helmets on. Great adventure hands down!

What a line! When you arrive, you turn the corner in the scrub below and BANG! Your hit with the view of a massive, intimidating corner crack! My first thought was we don’t have any gear big enough for this thing! Luckily there a few spaced bolts too ease the mind with some small gear placement in between. Take 2 x green .75,1,3,4. The crack climbs really well on mostly good rock with only a few breaky bits, the finish is very exciting stepping out over the void. No offwidth skills required. Was definitely worth the bush bash to find this beauty!

Really great and intimidating 'stemming corner'. Didn't place a heap of trad as there isn't a heap of trad to place. Maybe did one arm bar and a knee lock thing but that was it for thrutching. Definitely worth the painful slog in the heat and a route I've been meaning to do for a long while.

For only an extra 10 minute of walking. We were treated to this steep gaping and intimidating corner. It was great fun! You really only need a single rack to #4 and a 6 if you want to keep things ultra sane. Would be cool to do a tube chock or big bro ascent in the FA Style. The roof is awesome fun aswell just don't think to hard about it haha. Great work on bringing this route to life Neil! hardest mixed onsite too I believe

an offwidth with no compulsory offwidth moves. You only need a no.1 camalot near the bottom, a number 6 to recycle btween bolts and a number 4 is easy at the right edge of the roof.

Every off width should be like this one because it doesn’t require any off-width moves Missing a bolt above the roof.

A beautiful line and fantastic bridging corner, slightly marred by the dodgy choss finish. Broke a footer off and fell when stretching wide around the roof, trying to avoid the mega choss flake above your head.

Otherwise went clean and was well worth the bush bash.

Only used the #6 cam with the bolts all the way to the end of the roof, then a 0.5 horizontal to protect the top.

Would've been a classic if it just finished at the hands free ledge below the roof

Super classic. Worth the walk.

Following Neil's FA, good fun , in a cool position, with nice views. Start is a little goey but the rest is cruisy fun

A hard (relatively speaking) but interesting start, then extremely easy climbing up an exposed arête. Reasonable rock quality. Not a true tick, as I broke a hold off on super-easy ground and fell off in the upper half.

Bit of a bash to get to but worth it for that view.

Went exploring and fold gold to warm down on.

Nice route. Tricky start, then a nice cruise. Well bolted

Second ascent.

One star at the moment but with traffic it will be 2 star. If you have climbed whymper you will love this.

Pitch 3 is great!

An enjoyable morning. First 3 pitches have some really nice climbing, albeit average rock quality in places. Will clean up with more traffic.

Hard start without the tree. Average rock. Pitch 3 is the only one worth climbing

This route requires experience due to the rock quality - particularly at the top of pitch 2 where some very large blocks are detached and wobbly. Pitch 3 roof is about grade 21. I led P1 and P4/P5 linked

Really good climb. Varied. More interesting than Whymper. A worthy addition to the cliff.

Freezing cold fingers make for numb climbing. Stepped on massive block on P1 which is now in the valley. P2 also saw a large hold ripped off... now in the valley. P3 has blank section with a few signs of previous holds, which is now closer to grade 21. Loose block on P1 belay is a worry. Loose blocks on P2 belay are a nightmare. Even the ones that aren't wobbly are flexing under body weight.

Lots of loose rock. Also broke a few holds. Be very carful on this one especially if there are others below you.

Some good climbing amongst some very dodgy rock which adds a bit of spice! First three pitches is cool. The rock quality and the final pitch keeps it at 1 star though I think

Beware, loose rock

With Erico, His longest route to date. An absolute classic! A little steep in places, and a cpl of big moves.

Led P1,3,5 with Olly. Exciting and loose but will clean up and be a classic. Drop drop things on the Sweet Dreamers below!

Great exposed, slightly steep arete. On grade at 19.

On grade most of the way through

Well named ; )

P1 John Shaw, Tough start P2 Me, Classic P3 John P4 Me, grade 19 really? P5 John

found a huge loose block (about 1m wide, maybe 60kg?) just after first carrot of 4th pitch... Watch out!!

Awesome climbing! Very exposed the whole climb. Absolute classic multi. Lead P2 and P4
