Super duper chimney climbing! First pitch goes on for ages and you settle into a beautiful rhythm that sounds rather heinous when explained verbally.
Good gear and very grippy rock makes for a pleasant ascent. The start is spooky until you commit to sitting down into the chinmey rather than trying to bridge the moves. Commit earlier! Tess led what was supposed to be the grade 10 pitch and went completely off-route chasing after bolts (classic sport climber ) and ended up doing what I think must have been the 18 pitch of West Face of the Mirrorball |

Great day out. Pretty damn cold but not too bad in the end, glad I layered up! One ripped puffer jacket and one punctured foot but otherwise a smooth sailing.
PS. Beware the first (70m) rap leaves you in open air. Be sure to kick against the wall so you've got enough swing to gain the ledge

This is a climb that rewards hauling on fragile ironstone flakes. Add a grade if you limit yourself to holds that won't break.
Milked the rests at the ledges. Crux for me was the pocketed face; went with Luke's beta of getting LH to the highest pocket then throwing for the rail. |

An enjoyable romp. Should really be called the "west arete of the mirrorball". Wandered a bit too far left at the crux of P1 and got stopped by the rope drag and went back up direct.
Did P4 twice because I forgot the backpack the first time. I think P4 is just as spicy as P1 despite having a lower grade in the guidebook. |

Seth won the rock off, which meant that I got the honours of leading the wet slab start. Just to add to the controversy, I’ve done harder 18s, despite it being completely soaked.
Despite the choss, the whole route was still excellent. I wish p3 was longer though! Awesome morning, and good to finally tick it off the list. Finger didn’t give me any grief which is nice. Everything except the last pitch felt overgraded, but it didn’t detract from the fun of the movement. |

Nice chill day out (though rach might disagree).
I thought the first 2 pitches were awesome, and I’d say a better start to BBB. The traverse onto the buckets was fun, but otherwise I’d say Bunnies is the better route. Did it in 7 pitches on 50s, bit under 6 hours car-car. 1-2, 3, 4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10.5, 10.5-top. I’d say most of the route is overgraded, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. |

6 sessions which i think is the most for a G25 project. Stellar route that was never quite done until it was over. Gear list:
- 60m static
- belay seat
- 2 roller biners
- rope bag
- small pack for belay jacket, water, snacks etc
- multiple long slings (didn't use cam at RP crux
Route is obv very long but breaks down into a few sections with good rests in between.
Technical crux is after fairly straightforward climbing from belay - big span to "breadloaf" style L pinch then another hard move to traverse. Extend heaps here or suffer mega drag above.
Big L span on traverse leads to good rest.
Easy climbing to RP crux - dropped it here a few times so helps to be fresh and rest well before. Make sure big sandy jug is brushed in advance.
Simple climbing to finish.

5hrs for both of us to top out from the bottom. Great route! Mega fun. I led even numbers, onsighted and seconded each pitch clean. Went and did claustral canyon after in 5hrs car to car. Mega day!

Lead Odd pitches. CC section just a bit sandy, P3 had a weird climb around to the right which took me a bit to work out.
HC traverse pitch more fun then I remember, and pitch after hard for the grade. Skipped the last pitch. Brought 15 draws, 2 alpines, few bolt hangers for the belays; maybe a few more alpine, a few less draws next time ?. CC pitches meh, HC pitches money. Traverse pitch started to come into sun ~1400hrs today 24/3/24 ~7hrs 15 minutes C2C, weaselburger raps. |

Awesome route, with all pitches having exciting and engaging sections. One of the most consistenly interesting multis out this way.
Will be back to clean it up, the two crux sections both got me, but it all goes, and well worth it.

Ended up climbing this in pitch black. It's very run out, so if this is your lead limit, it might feel a bit scary. I thought it was easy for an 18. Very fun climb.

Fantastic position! A little hard to find the bolts on top, there's a few other positions bolted nearby that might lure the unwary. Be sure to find the 3 exposed highline bolts before committing to the rap.
