Ascents of Vertigo

Solo mission! Tough tomatoes

Bit of aid training on solo TR.

Very nice aid route even though it was seeping a bit from the recent rains. Ridiculous to be able to free it. Note the gate is currently locked at Honeysuckle creek campsite so it is a 5km uphill slog to get to the crag. We took way too much gear "just in case". Locals said the gate has been locked for several years since the bushfires so maybe check with the national parks on the current status.

Stellar line. The moves on the head wall are awesome.

Great Awesome climb worth the drive

Somehow forgot to bring the cam hooks to the crag, daisy whip when a hand placed beak departed the wall, and had to lower down to back some small cams for the top section.

Lovely position, rap rings at top.

Suggested rack for next time:

-pair narrow cam hooks

-maybe a beak or two

-set or two of brassies (took offset, normals and a bunch of spares) esp in the 3+ sz, peanuts would have been handy

-Set of wallnuts

-offset alloy nuts (?*2) esp smaller sz

-few black/blue aliens

-few ea black/blue totems, grey totem

-C4 - sz 2

no other hooks,big/mid sz cams

my first ever aid climb

Pants filling for second lead
