攀登 in Wollongong by Doug

Plenty of options. Roof is not worth the effort.

Burly from go to wo. Not the warmup.

A fun couple of moves. So much nicer with a pad. 25 year anniversary repeat.

So nice to not have to brush. 25 year anniversary repeat.

25 year anniversary repeat. Like climbing a billiard table.

So nice to see these boulders getting climbed. 3 rad variations with and without the sidepull from 1-4.

25 year anniversary repeat. tall

Love the mono. Cool slab straight up. 25 year anniversary repeat.

Snatchy start then cruise. 25 year anniversary repeat.

Rap it and brush it. Start moves are not the best warmup. Classy climbing bottom to top. Sydney to Gong with the Coledale DJ!

Fantastic. Pebble pulling didn't feel delicate today. Can't believe I OSd this and thought it was soft. Must be the extra covid pounds.

Tree root and 0 cam for anchor! Then whipped on it a bunch for giggles. Surprisingly tech start into devious crux for the grade.

Unique dyno. Forgot my brush.

Stunning line and super classy and committing climbing. Nowhere near a 3 though.

Very nice crack (V1/2) to death mantle.

Terrifying last move to nightmare mantle. Bring big pads and spotters, or a rope. Much harder than it looks (V2/3 and then the mantle). Everything on this wall needs pre-send brushing anyway.

Maybe 23. $deity it's thin and desperate all the way. Smears, intermediate smear, diagonal rail, little left beak, break and go. 2nd bolt - off left. 3rd - Underclings. 4th slopes to right and left to high incut sidepull.

lap to clean, lap to tick. Nice movement.

Quite sustained and a reasonable crux.

More engaging than it looks. Delicate pebbles.

Tasty.

AFter 20 years finally had a proper go. Awesome nails climbing with monster footwork. Assuming the hole(s) of WA (at 3rd bolt) is in, otherwise even more nails. Most likely this does not avoid major face crack on top (19). Note: 2 rusty bolts and then gear or death.

Silly Dingo linkup. Way pumpier and steeper than Silly-cosis. Bit dirty. Where are the jugs?

Great movement. A bit of everything.

Quite punchy. Bit soggy at 23 unless you're meant to go uber-direct.

Crack for breakfast.

Worst house in best street.

Surprisingly insecure. On from go to whoa. Felt plain hard keeping left with a committing crux. Risking matching the crack and mantling right may have eased the difficulty.

Inobvious start, delicate mantle, thin slap with proper bad feet and engaging finish.

The most normal route here. Nice pockets. A very long stretch directly over the bolt (maybe go left?) and cruisy finish.

Fun delicate thinking persons' moves.

Good moves that give to the top. Well bolted. Solid for the grade. 4 laps, 4 different ways.

Thoughtful arete moves for the grade. Well bolted. 2 laps.

One move then enjoyable wandering. Can go straight up the arete at the same grade.

Contrived. Just stick to the right side of the arete after the initial face up to Handful anchors. Airy insecure finish.

Tricky eliminate start. Sustained slopes to quite the pull, then thoughtful finish to top pockets.

Really good fun. Proper 23 slab.

Underclings. Feet in the dishes. Right hand in the dimpled undercling. Load right foot, grab the knob, then right foot to left undercling. Straight forward cranking from there (left foot smear on the high grey bit and then right backstep all the way up there).

Edit: A bit stronger so left foot straight up to ledge, readjust right foot into closer dish (if wanted, makes the move slightly easier) and then crank.

Stick totally the nose until on top. Great climbing in the 2nd half.

Will always be a crap onsight due to sand and dirt.

Only a little contrived mostly due to squeeze. Do the final faces moves before finishing at arete. Pumpy as $*%@. Thought it would be easy on return visit - wrong!

Short but nicely sustained to a punchy crux. Not the 18 warmup I was looking for.

Fabulous limestonesque climbing. 22 if you're 5'0".

Crux sneaks up on ya. End of day pump, barely didn't fall off.

Bottom is really good. Crux is putting the last draw on.

It dreams of being 21? At 19 it'll be very good with more traffic.

Nice thin start followed by good climbing and thoughtful finish. Pretty clean with a touch of sand.

Fabulous climbing and position at the grade. The traverse and moves around the arete are hilarious. Best easy route in the Sydney basin. Overgraded by a lot.

Steep, not loose, not too dirty.

Follow the bolts at your own risk. Not the warmup I was looking for.

Insecure. and sustained. Quite the thin start into a tenuous crux and very nice finish. Good footer turned out to be the 2nd bolt - doh!

Fun climbing but still thoughtful.

This is the pick of the area. Nice off balance climbing around the arete.

A couple of moves and then hold it together for another couple. 4 people 4 different ways. I went with the left foot up by the hands.

No wonder it felt hard for 17. Nice moves. Will always be seacliff sandy.

Nice bottom, nice top, and bit of blurgh middle. Right side of crux bolt is more fun totally avoiding all the big holds.

Worst climb I've done in 24 years. Every hold wet or dirty. Moves are decent enough but needs traffic.
