19 | ★ When the Axe Falls - with nathaniel glavurdic | 30m | ★ Good | |||
Aptly named, I believe the "axe" the route name refers to is a 15m long and thin feature that looks like it could detach from the cliff at any moment! Definitely felt full value for the grade as I didn't trust the rock I was stepping on or pulling on. Otherwise, I think it was a great climb. Fanny followed me and and didn't pull anything off so I guess I was just being paranoid.

23 | ★ Groundup Superstar - with nathaniel glavurdic | 15m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Not every day you walk past an unclimbed classic roof crack, you've got the right gear, you've got the right partner and you onsight it ground up cleaning the loose rock on the way up, pull through perfect fists and hands with feet in the crack. Dream. I decided to continue up above the crack to top out on a scary mission on suspicious dinner plates, lose dirt, caving under boulder and emerge trough a hole. I do not recommend that bit! I will go back and clean it properly top down, this climb deserves to be one of the best cracks at the grade in the Blueys and beyond. Fanny agreed, this is an amazing find.

Epic onsight in one monster pitch. Loads of gear shuffle to avoid rope drag and avoid running out of #4s. Crux was burly fist jams that made me work real hard but I didn't think I'd fall at any moment. For me doing this climb in one pitch made it truly memorable.

Harder than it looks from the ground. Perhaps the moist interior of the crack made it feel a bit stiff, perhaps being belayed by my 9yo little girl made it feel even stiffer 😉. Good little crack, will be more enjoyable after few months of summer drought.

I got to say I had to fight real hard as I made several errors in a row towards the end of the crux and launched for a jug to the left and almost peeled off. Won't forget this one in a while! I have to thank the folks who cleaned/scrubbed this pitch, it had a reputation of being dirty and scary, it's great now good job! | 80m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Lost at Rock-Paper-Scissors for the onsight but the conveniently located tree combined with a sore neck preserved me from getting any info on my mate's ascent! Great climb, great moves, great rock, loved it!

23 | ★★★ Wake of the Flood - with Rick Webb | 50m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Linked all pitches together. I had three racks with me and used just a bit more than one. I occasionally walked up gear then build anchors at strategic locations. No rope drag whatsoever. I didn't notice I was in the middle of the crux of the third pitch when I questioned myself about putting long runners to reduce rope drag for the next pitch... so I downclimbed the thing to re-evaluate the sling strategy, then I realised where I was and went for it more carefully as I didn't want to blow my onsight ;-). Then every damn time I was 2/3rd up the sun was poking a hole through the cloud cover and blind me so I probably downclimbed the crux 4 times before the sun finally moved behind the cliff top so I could see and proceed with the last move which I could have done blind anyways. I think the grades for all pitches are right on the money, the crux is fair at gr23 as it's not steep, got heaps of footwork, great fingerlocks and ok hands. I really rate this climb done in one pitch as the rope management is a great part of the adventure and all climbing is super pleasant. Just avoid doing it in summer sun when it's straight in your eyes at 10-11 ish ;-)

| 65m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Didn't live up to it's name. The real Supercrack is in Indian Creek. I didn't bother looking at the 2 first pitches. The third pitch was a pleasant 22 up to the two last jams then I had to shift gears a bit so I guess the gr24 is fair. I was quite frankly disappointed to find jugs as I was hoping for a pure crack. I also regret I used some footwork; I should really have kept my feet in the crack all the way, it felt magical when I did. I didn't top out the chimney, just downclimbed when I saw my last cam walking towards an old stuck cam. Overall a good little climb.

Wow, great climb. Few delightful long moves on (what I perceived as) good hand jams on quite steep territory. It really doesn't look that steep from the ground. Rock is pretty clean and gear is solid as, not advisable for sensitive skin... but I think the prickles inside the crack will eventually clean up nicely with traffic. Ben thought the grade was stiff, I thought it was honest but mmm if I compare to The Kracken, ok it might be a bit harder.
