Jordi's hardest trad lead - great effort as the crack is pretty sustained for placing gear. |

18 | ★★★ Sipple - with Jordi dunlop | 20m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Brilliant route. Fantastic complement to Fall guy. Most definitely "sustained and committing". Keeps going all the way to the top.
Pro good, but some of it hard to get in, esp at the start of the traverse. Traverse up across and down about 40 m to rap rings, then rap 45 m all the way to the track. |
|||||||
18 R | ★ Fall Guy - with Jordi dunlop | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Nice route. I enjoyed it. But lets be clear this is a DEATH route.
The "boulder" move is easier than 18 but it is protect by a cluster of average pieces and you are very close to the ground / ledge. The wall above is much easier, but ... the "jugs" are "ACT granite slab jugs", ie good in-cuts, nice; but half of them are flakes that feel like they could rip off. And it is VERY poorly protected. There are a few placements, but they are tiny (three #3 RPs would be nice) and poor (shallow/behind little flakes). The thin crack at the top offers some better but still average gear, inc a micro cam. The footers are good and the angle is low. You could probably traverse off if you got worried. The climbing was nice, pity it was not five times longer with a few decent placement. |
|||||||
14 | ★ Overhang Corner - with Jordi dunlop | 32m | ★ Good | ||||
Nice route. Pity it was not longer!!

13 ~14 | ★★ Possum - with J Banks | 50m | ★ Good | ||||
Jannice and I were both feeling skittish today and did not have the mental fortitude for this climb. The ominous clouds that persisted throughout the day didn't help. Jannice had a rough time leading the first pitch, and bravely started leading the second pitch when I couldn't be convinced, but could not work up the nerve to start the traverse. She down-climbed back to top of first pitch and we bailed, abandoning some chord and an old carabiner.
I think we both have the ability to climb this and I would like to give it another try. This was just not the day. If this route has several "harder than 13 moves," as mentioned plainly in the description, it should not be graded at a 13. |

decided against doing the Carezzissima exit and accidentally against doing the original finish too. went straight up the enticing crack between the two. don't recommend if 13 is close to limit | 50m | ★★★ Classic | ||||

Stellar crack with a little bit of everything! Finger crack, hand jam crack, and a bit of off-width. Was really pleased with myself for leading it clean and committing to some big moves above my gear. It also gave me a great view of my friend Matt climbing the upper reaches of Integral Crack.

A bit of a ramble at the start, but not a pitch to be underestimated! Really fun and interesting stemming between two walls at the end of the pitch. We abseiled off the anchors for Integral Crack back to the tree belay at the top of the first pitch, then abseiled off the tree to the ground. | 44m | ★★★ Classic | ||||

That was an awesome route!! I reckon that's the most thought provoking and unique 13 ive ever done! 3 star for sure. Led pitch one and two, and then Dyl lead a variant finish. Super interesting moves and the hand crack traverse is heady for a new trad leader for sure! Pretty skinny feat initially! Had tonnes of fun out there with Dylbats and LaErush, laughin the whole way bc Ezbob had the goober helmet jobby goin ahahahha. great times
