Ascents in Wonderland of Rocks South

Runout

Runout

One of the better pieces of rock i’ve climbed. Incredible, heady face climbing that is as outrageously good as it is sandbagged. I’ll remember this day out for quite a while.

Fun fun day out with all the Hidden Valley hang. Will led pitch 1 and I linked Pitch 2&3 for a fun runout pitch with a sweet handcrack stem at the top.

Fell twice at around the first quickdraw. I should have pushed through could have maybe flashed it.

Flashed.

Flashed.

Flashed.

Well it turns out this is the most difficult. I don’t really understand. That being said I did a lot more moves than i expected to, but the ones I couldn’t do I couldn’t even conceive. Wild.

Well it turns out this is very hard! Completely amazing steep finger crack climbing. I did all the moves bar two of the three main crux pulls (albeit probably with some rope assist. It’s probably solid 12+ with some very tricky moves to start you off. So stoked to have tried it and seen what all the fuss is about.

Brilliant climb marred only by the block you can stem out to for a lot of it. I found the wide more exciting than I expected. Well worth it.

Worth doing if you’re out at Mental Physics. A fun, heady slab. Also done as one giant pitch.

One of the best things i’ve ever climbed at the grade. The only way to do it is as a giant single pitch! Awesome crack and face climbing up to an excellent slab and good rock the whole way (by J-Tree standards). Rad.

Awesome flared crack system. Lots of interesting jamming up a good line.

A brilliant piece of climbing with some mixed rock quality, and an outrageous sandbag. It’s supposed to be 10b after the initial slab moves but I definitely pulled an 11- sequence up high, miles above my last somewhat questionable piece. I was massively gripped! Very very memorable.

Cool c ack climb, but kind of short.

Unbelievable climb. 110 feet of endless hand/finger crack. Climb is about 8-10 feet longer than a standard 60 meter rope. Good bolts.

Crappy rock.

Way hard. Poor rock.

very consistent but an amazing climb
