Ascensões em The Cathedral Range

🦅

Quite a nice one

Shame it climbs out of a hole but the climbing is great

Not really sure the line should be up here lol, pretty contrived but the moves are fun. Cest la vie

Sweet shoulder move

Really good! Beautiful setting too. Also did all the different exits starting a few moves lower matched in the undercling.

Might have started too close to the cave- very run out start. Lost a cam deep in the chimney, Booty Alert.

Climbed the first pitch only

Pretty epic three person multi. Lead all of the pitches and a very steep induction for my little sister to outdoor climbing. She fell on the overhang but we never found speigal…

Nice😋 climb but multipitch trad is pretty ceebs. The ratio of actual climbing to boring stuff is pretty grim.🥹😖😖😖 Perhaps I just need to get better at trad. 😊😇Harder 💪💪than a grade 10, great company💃💃🕺🕺, sucked before the sun went in the arvo, had some ✨epic ✨runouts, wasn’t sure which way to go, overhang was pretty spooky👻😟, lots of ⬆️⬆️⬆️high feet, anchors were pretty congested, confirmed that I prefer sport. ✅

Great climb, made up for the approach (see my earlier post). Great slabby moves up the crack and face. Gear is 'there' but somewhat fiddly and not super amazing. I protected the crux with 2x small RPs in a sliding x (one of which fell out) and a no 1 nut. Wouldn't want to whip but maybe would? Belayed off the bolts and were back at the car within 30min (10 of which including getting lost at the top). Moderately thought-provoking but I was a fan.

Possibly the worst I've ever climbed. Spent about 10 min trying to orientate ourselves at the bottom of the wall. I went up the face which I'm not sure whether it was actually a climb. Got pretty scared cause I didn't find a lot of gear. Definitely spent like an hour in the no fall zone. Wore my good (sport) shoes which were a double edged sword. I think I needed them to feel comfy on the slab but also meant that at the end my toes felt like they were gonna fall off. I don't know how hard it was going up the face as I was scared and there wasnt much gear. If I was to guess I'd say like 13-14? I was climbing bad cause of the fear of God. Serious type II fun.

Did the second pitch as a short one (5-10m) because lucy's stance in my shitty hanging belay was pretty bad (100% my fault I should've kept climbing for a little bit.) Trucked up on the jugs to gods ledge, placing gear if I remembered.

Isaac's lead, my foot popped off coming around the corner onto the slab. Finished up Speigal's Overhang.

The base is a bit overgrown, overshot the approach and ended up on P1 of Whiteline Fever. Isaac lead that, and I lead a combined P2 and P3. Definitely worth the 3 stars.

The flake between the bolt and the overlap which probably is used by every climber coming past in the third pitch does not only sound very hollow on knock, knock but also makes cracking noises and seems to bend. Very disconcerting when you climb solo. Climbers be careful! 🙂

So good to be back out doing some adventure trad!! Elite fun as always with Dyl and Erin, rain tried to stop us but luckily this bomber sandstone dried quickly in the wind. Fun climbing, a bit wandery, I think we lengthened some of the pitches because we did it in 3.

Classic climb 13 my ass lol, some spaced protection, nice slab climbing. Did in 3 pitches, couldn't find the piton

More trouser-filling slab climbing.

Alternated pitchs. Quite an adventure.

Great climb, definitely some moves like the mantle on 2nd or 3rd pitch was tricky but it's a great climb for lower grade Lead. Would recommend dedicating a whole day if you're learning.
