Way too many bolts, could probably get rid of at least 3? Only 3 bolt plates required though, I took 11 😂
Quite a nice line and good climbing, didn’t enjoy the top mantle too much though! Cleaning was annoying, down climbed to get the first 3 quickdraws off, then climbed back below the anchor to minimise the swing. |

21 | ★★ Little Jug of Happiness - with Jack Ferguson | 65m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Monday afternoon climbs!
Good climbing on Pitch 1, very cruisy and pleasant. Pitch 2 was super cool! A bit spooky going from cruisy pleasant climbing to immediate 3D climbing, was feeling slow/tough until the 3rd bolt or so, then I started having a fantastic time!! Crux wasn’t too difficult once read correctly, read it wrong and had to down climb back to the rest. 11 draws required, if you clip every bolt. Pitch 3, is definitely more of a “vertical scramble to exit” and 12 is generous, but overall, I think this is on the softer side of 18 and 21. One bolt on the chossy ironstone then through trees, don’t climb up the next wall of rock but belay off a tree, tell your second not to fall. Under 2 hours C2C, with a little getting lost at the end of P3 and Jack nursing his bleeding finger before the P2 crux. Apparently there’s blood all over the crack now, thanks jack!! |

Lead all pitches, delightful easy climbing, great position and beautiful view.
Caitlyn’s first outdoor climb in Aus!
Walk in after all this rain was EXTREMELY muddy. Caitlyn and Chris both had leeches on them! P1: Nothing extraordinary and probably hardest in the first few metres? P2: Delightful pitch, easy climbing and such a nice position. Use a couple of long draws. P3: I literally climbed a waterfall between the last bolt and the anchor. |

Thanks for making me lead this Paul! Apart from the fear of not leading in a long time, I genuinely enjoyed this route! Consistently sustained the whole way, there's one obvious crux sequence but has a good rest following it. Spent at least 10 minutes at the no hander below the anchors.
Rope got stuck on a horn as I was rethreading and retying, Paul had to climb up the rope (via another rope with Dana belaying) in order to free it. |

Favourite climb of the weekend! The pocketed wall before the arete is amazing. so much fun! Extremely windy day made the balancy section at the top a little difficult.

Good holds where you need them; difficult moves for the grade, but I guess that's because it's a 14 compressed into a few moves.
Not so sure on the bolts, they were poking out quite a bit. Could see the whole circle + a little extra. Someone with more bolting experience should have a look.
