攀登 in Tasmania by Foong

Heady climb, took me a while to commit to the RP move, which actually isn't too bad once you commit to it. RPs and microcams essential.

Actually a really worthwhile climb, well protected.

Skipped 26 pitch and climbed crack instead. Lead 22 pitch. Conglomerate goodness!

first 22 proper onsight on the pipes, felt easy for the grade? Microcams essential.

second half of the climb is good fun

Led both pitches, thoroughly enjoyable. bring a no.4

nothing too stressful, plenty of good gear, good climbing.

thin crux!

Thin and fiddly gear near the top. Take micros and rps

Second pitch is just pure pleasure

actually a pretty nice route, steep first section

See description. Stoked for the send, has got to be one of the best trad routes in the NW coast. Beta - first crux, just launch for crimp with right hand and pull through to jugs. Second crux -

Right hand on hole, left hand up to jug. Right hand up to side pull. Swap feet and flag right feet high, then left hand up to side pull. Put left foot on shitty feet. Fist jam. Pull to next jug and steeply to top.

Hard for 20

Led the money pitch 2, classic old school.climbing, sustained and brilliant. Get on it!

Good worthwhile climb. Interesting climbing of to roof, then cruxy move to turn roof. Then try not to.come a cropper on the lichenous finish

Sustained, difficult moves around the scoop!

Led P1 and 2, which were full value. the 16 pitch has got to be one of the most enjoyable 16s around. Classic.

The final route of the trinity, and what a stellar route. Probably my favourite route of the three, with consistent excellent climbing on perfect rock. Led P1&2 (linked) and P4. Linking P1 and P2 is not recommended - it was longer than 60m and tim had to scramble up for the last few metres. It also meant I had to solve the final crux with painful rope drag and your last quickdraw. Utterly destroyed after that pitch I could barely talk. 3rd pitch is just a beautiful, sustained crack - thoroughly enjoyable but in my sick, tired state I was utterly crushed. Which led to an entertaining conversation where Tim offered to lead P4. I refused. We were both dreading it given it was meant to be a 'crux' pitch - I don't think Ian Lewis even knew what crux meant, judging by how strong the climbing on the trinity is. In any case this pitch is utterly joyous. On the lip just before turning the overhang I shout to Tim - 'and to think you wanted to snake my pitch ya fucken bastard' and pull the lip. The final pitch is just a dream crack. Amazing line. Full respect to the FA of the trinity, just can't imagine how they did it back in 1973. One of the true classics of Tassie climbing.

the second of the trinity. Old school grunt, absolutely worth the effort. Led P2 and 4. The second pitch in particularly will work you to the absolute core. Pull all your old school tricks out of your frothbag to stay on. Did a variant finish of P4 with a thin corner and 2 short cracks. The kind of climb that loses a star with cleaning, and will build ya character. Get on it.Absolute props to the FA - just incredible.

The trinity! The supposed crown jewel of the trinity. Props to the FA, what a lead back in 1973 - just boggles the mind. Led pitch 2 and pitch 4&5 (linked into a mega long stunner of a pitch), which were the money pitches with brilliant varied climbing. some loose rock on 3rd pitch and start of 4th as well. Classic.

Classy crack take ya no 3s

Led pitch 1 & 3. Our community service to the climbing community with a nice bit of gardening. Actually some great climbing, marred by the lichenous cracks that are now slightly less lichenous. Second pitch would be an amazing pitch if cleaned.

1 fall at crux, went up wrong side. good climbing

led first pitch, good fun

Love the moment you step on the col

Actually pretty good climbing prob grade 19, but made scary by the gear - take your rps and Micros, then take ya mates

Purty good

Done in 1 pitch

Old school ish

Brilliant climbing on positive holds! Classic.

tricky crux which is fairly run out on miniscule feet!

mm yea

Slightly ducky second pitch had to get burly

mm

Found the offwidth bit pretty dicky

Got to lead the money 2nd pitch. Steady slogging. Unfortunately left small cams behind and had some fairly hairy moments. Makes a man outta ya.

Great climbing on stonking gear, just another cruisey pipe dream

pleasant crack climbing

some nice moves

missed the onsight on the second balancey crux. good fun moves
