Ascents by Lee Cujes having Distinct route

I led crux

The most obvious route here. 2m R of pillar and marked by some weird metal spikes sticking out down low. Attractive, sinuous crack up corner to small roof, then ramble out.

Yeah worth doing

Much fitter this time! 4/2000: Like running a marathon.

This was great.. Big cams.

Double ropes were good

For Frog, steep and juggy - so I liked it

You really get your money's worth for 18

Direct line to chains. Three BR?s. The middle one is fat and needs a bigger bracket.

Marty led up the ramp, and I led the meaty part.

Nice arete with surprises. Grr!

Rough stuff on the steep

long last move

When I led this, I said this could be the best pitch I have ever climbed. Anywhere. Not bad out of the 800 or so routes I've done. This route had everything going for it. Tricky gear, perfect friction, fabulous intricate moves. The rock is like gritstone! Totally awesome.

Very nice wandery route

Wow. What a route.

Start: At Jester?s rap station atop pitch one of the original. Head into corner and up for 3m. Step R for 3m underneath suspended flake (above the 24 section). Up for 4m and finish as for pitch two of original.

Really good climbing

Committing, with technical/tricky gear up high.

all 5 pitches onsight

Some cool RP slots

A very stiff introduction to Coles Bay

I led crux

The first pitch is a great arete feature. Tons of trad and 2 carrots. Crux bulge is tricky and pumpy. For the second pitch, the direct certainly seemed the more sensible option and I'm glad we took it. I wonder if many people hit the ledge falling off the start of p2 (especially on second with rope stretch)? Take a panic draw if you have one. I reckon you'd want to be confident climbing 22 on trad to jump on this one. We walked off (staying roped up for the first 30m) which was fine to get back to the Cave Climb abseil, or back to the car if this is your last climb of the day.

Really cool, with the wide section being pretty heady (for those of us without #7 cams!). Calves were burning. There may have even been #calfspooge.

Nicest route of the day. Enjoyable and consistent all the way.

evil runout

Super fingercrack flake which has been worn smooth by 20+ years of constant traffic. So glorious. Van Halen climbed this.

Awesome - highly recommended. pic

Did first pitch at 7pm at night, did the next two pitches the next day. Phil led p1 and p3, I led p2. Was so cold seconding p1 I had to wear thermal gloves.

Thrashed my way to glory on this one. A very ugly display

reminds me of King Rat at Araps, but it's one of the best at the grade around here

2nd shot

sensational knifeblade arete

A really nice route through some lovely scenery

first ascent took place almost in the dark

TR then led.

Interesting thin start. (seconded 10/2000)

[1/2] Pumpy! 12/1997: seconded.

One tricky move, otherwise a ramble

FFA onsight

Repeat after 17 years. This was magic today.

Trad climbing! What the?

Soloed up the face, then traversed off left.
