攀登 in Reedy Creek

This was so painful, the incredibly sharp crimps to go along with bleeding hands. This climb will get much harder if it gets any kind of regular attempts aswell, the main crimp in the center of the wall is completely hollow and flexes when you pull off it, could be an actual v6 or v7 when that hold breaks off.

This boulder ruined my skin more than any climb has in almost 8 years of climbing, the top section is a heartbreaker

Feet are a luxury not present on this boulder, little nubs kept snapping off under me

Some interesting movement, not the best not the worst, just gotta trust that heel bigtime

Nice jams. Crumbly bits

spontaneous chimney shimmying fun

I thought I was on James E but this description matches the moves...

Climb of the day - really enjoyed this one

Hard "Be careful of the rock"

Great name!

Interesting moves getting out of the cave

Off route - Used top arete

Was a strong move out of the overhang but was so close.

good clean fun

slab sequence seemed veeery blank and unforgiving. Chucked a rope on and got the slab clean a few times, now to come back in cooler weather when I'm feeling fresher and get the send

definitely need some beta for this one! no feet/hands to be seen!

some super strong super fun moves here! used a very burly heel hook to start the mantle and then definitely relied more on shoulder/lat strength than technique finish. would say the grade felt about right

warm up

little contrived, but still a good fun start to the day

Got some jamming practice in, and hidden from the tourists!

Jugs that make you go mmmmm

Played around briefly on the start to check it wasn't 100% impossible - could pull of the ground.. but very hard, would be surprised a) if this ever gets climbed, and b) if it's anything less than decent double-digit grade.. but such an impressive arete seemed a shame not to mark it up. Some scrubbing might uncover some much needed footers

Really cool climb - not many climbs around SA with a kneebar to set up a handjam transition into a double-fist-jam followed by a balancecy shuffle into another fist jam. Initially I tried to finish up the offwidthy break - but after convincing myself to start up it, I realised I couldn't actually fit..

Needs some lichen scrubed of the top as it looks fairly sketchy in it's current state. Also a shame the holds kind of coerce you into leaning your weight straight at the slab wall to the left - can climb it without doing that, but the holds become worse

Well rested so sent this fairly easily first try today. May be on the easier side of V4 physically, but beta is somewhere between bizarre and very flexible, so don't think it's V3. Extending this from the lower right hand is doable but exceptionally hard so we gave up on it for now

Nice warmup, and fun little climb

Rock still felt faintly wet as hadn't gotten much sun, which made the top feel pretty.. exciting (although I had missed a good hold in the crack higher which would have make things a bit more secure). Can be climbed in a lot of different ways

Got so close just before Pete sent this, with less bizarre-than-Pete-but-not-much beta of heel-hooking up left with a second kneebar sideways-mantle-thing. Close but shoulders weren't up to any more attempts. Glad Pete sent this first with the "belly shuffle campus" followed by double-alpine-knee beta, and thus the name! Really unique climb

Exit is so sketchy

Not a v3 but fun still

Too easy for a V3 - V2 is more reasonable

Worked the first couple of moves at the end of the session and assessed the top out.

Seems do-able and well graded, will require better skin and possibly another 2-3 pads to make the fall safer.

Based on my ability and past experience I would have graded this a V3. I don't believe this to be a classic or even a 1 star climb. The rock was crumbly and part of the flaky crimp was hollow and moving under weight. A rock also fell from being touched on the way up. This could be a 1-2 star climb if loose crumbly rock was scraped away.
