Ascents by Jack Seawright having Distinct route

Did not take the right gear on this climb. Got stuck underprotected at the top and had to risk decking on the finishing mantle. Really dumb on my part.

Didnt know what this was, just did it cos it looked cool from the top of theory.. and it was. some reachy moves and nice layback moves in the finger crack pretty well off the deck. Worth it for sure, great gear actually.

A new experience!! First ever off-width. Long time coming, and i quite liked it! Very trial-and-errory with the thrutching, sometimes methodical movement gets you nowhere and aimless thrashing actually helps. Bizarre. Did it in a froq too! Ripped the shoulder of the dress in the off-width, owner would have been proud. Any photos taken will hopefully cover minimal ground on the internet, or at least be appropriately pixelated Cool route

OW at the start took more struggling than i thought it would. Pretty gearless step up into the chimney, had to go wide with a small wire to protect the step up then unclip it after the step (to save drag). aaand then the fun part. the rest of it. Youd have a hard time not doing this with a smile on. Tanned on top belay (the infinity ledge is a sauna at 1pm).

This was so much fun!! Even the descent off the side of the pyramid was fun! off to the right side down a couple of chimneys. The crux pitch was a little scary but relieved to have Dan Cox s stuck wire from his ascent a few months back to use as a fixed piece at the beginning of the crux section . Bring at least 2 cams of at least size 4/5 (BD) for the chimney on the first pitch! Enjoy this ripper adventure.

Unexpected antarctic condis up on the wall today; 12:15 start up the wrong climb. DI marking at the bottom (deception1?) linked back without knowing around 1.5 pitches up. Our first 2 pitches felt about 16 each and had some very interesting movement including an overhang on jugs and an off-width (with plenty of cheats). As rain and heavy winds decended on us before the end of p2, we were starting to wonder how pleasent the rest would be but the weather cleared, and p3 was dry. A few rudimentary tranchors helped us get back on track timewise and yim jumped on the pointy end for p4 for his first multi lead: A composed effort and he even showed off some flare with a ~7m run out through the middle. Both of us inundated with sunlight upon top out (4:50 for yim) and hence avoided an epic finding the trail. Woolies chook dipped in hot chilli sauce in the dark carpark in the boot was an oddly fulfilling end to the big day. Crux is remembering to turn right on to cotswold off boonah-beaudesert.. took 3 burns.

I had eyed this one up on thecrag in my pre-trip research so i was quietly beaming the gang decided on this one today. It was pretty spec! Got to lead the first 3 pitches. After wild weather day 1 i brought a jacket which was almost my undoing on p3. It was getting in my face when the wind blew through the mr chicken crack so i took it from around my neck and torniqueyed it around my thigh. Every right foot movement afterwards was tenuous with the jacket sliding ever further. The gang made the top with enough time to spare for an assault on a very humbly graded 15 called Siamese Crack that took all of me. After enjoying the views of Mitre Lake, we retreated to the Pines.

Climbing this felt like robbing a house with motion sensors with all the tip toeing around and backtracking . Been a while since i did that so it was refreshing to journey up this historic line with will. Couldnt really find gear good enough to setup 1st pitch belay on the ramp so ended up ramibling up to a little cave then downclimbing to the ramp as part of the second. Third pitch is unreal. If i was to do this again id take a second rope.. the drag was pretty real on all pitches. Really enjoyable experience problem solving the protection on the traverse and the 1st pitch. Requires patience but it gives the climb the adventurous vibe the sport multis lack. Will did a great job to get through all this (with a 20L hiking bag) and did well not to shit it hanging from my gear anchor. Great day out!!

So funny story about how we ended up here. I told tanja at 4pm after 7 pitches that i was interested in doing downwind of angels. A 45m 'stiff as' 19 on the great (sunburnt) wall. I deliriously put the first few bits of pro in, wobbled up the grade 16 start to where the line diverges from outside chance, and just couldnt resist thr gravitational pull of the easier arete of OC. Charged up that to where the gr 12 chimney on sorcerers branches off, and went left again.. around the corner, up shithouse gearless chasm and spat out at the anchors. I looked down while on belay at the 4 star 19 that i had outmuscled and outsmarted. A full colour sunset was the reward for my (lack of) effort.

Somehow managed to avoid this route in my first frog season so this was my first time climbing it. Really nice hands, and the scree at the top is all pretty solid. Robby rolled up when we were halfway up this route, seconded it, dropped his atc off the top and told everyone it was alright cos someone would figure out a way for him to get down . We all ended up 'double munting' back to the ground.. nice outing

Seconded this for the first of the day.. pretty tough move at the ledge for 16 and airy too! Fun enough climb

Some good hands on this one with a nice variety of face holds. Took good gear aswell. Thought this was a pretty fun climb all in all!

A nice adventury line on the front of the harlequin wall. Quite fun.

Wow this one was a low-key stunner. Me and steve agreed this was funner than plume.. really nice wide moves, an off-width opportunity which provides literally no value in terms of actually topping the climb but if thats your thing (like it is for steve van den berg) its there. Bit of sport climbing at the top that makes you think abit, great movements on good holds. An absolute must at frog if your on the plume ledge, cant believe it only has one star wtf
