Ascents in Grotto Wall Area

Fun in da sun

Did the moves, felt sick today, wasn't committed for the send.

burly but fun. had a huge trad rack on me to make chimneying harder xD. set the toprope for the other routes from here

fell on my first attempt getting to the first bolt. glad i backed out when i was starting to lead it, as i would have hit the ground

climbed last to clean. felt harder than the 18 we climbed the day before

climbed last to clean the gear. had to hang for a few minutes trying to get one cam out, melissas fingers are slimmer than mine and i couldnt reach the trigger xD

Not actually as good as it looks. Soloed up to the corner crack. Careful, cams can walk in. Rapped off like sensible people, just barely down on a 60.

Rained in the morning, ok the arvo. Great value for the grade. Stupidly did the walk off downclimb sketchyness.

Very fun - slippery feet. Scary if wet...gr8 for blistering hot days. Owl watching you send!

this is a cool route. I cant tell if it is hard or not for the grade. On the first few tries (on TR) it feels impossible, then it feels good.

not sure how hard this is as you can continue to step R to avoid hard sections. But it is a fast and easy way to put the bolt plates on Hot Coq.

So much fin. Razor crimps and a barn owl.

Really happy to lead this. My trickiest trad lead to date, and got to place two rps! Gear inspiration from Andrew

P1 only. Decent but some loose rock.

Tricky, got pumped and scared the first time and needed a second attempt

Like someone picked up an organ pipe and plonked it at the other end of Araps. Delightful climbing.

A cute little number

Really thoughtful 11. Loved it!

found rap chains around to the right and lowered off from there was getting late. lead by carey

Don’t know what the guide meant by fiddly gear, there’s heaps of pro!

Super stoked to tick this thing 3rd go. Crux felt impossible at first. Super technical, super powerful. Definitely solid for the grade compared to PCL or HaGF Direct

Grotty.
