Finally clean lap on TRS. Avoided all the choss by climbing on the right side of the arete. Time to lead. 40’30”

Rope solo, glad i didn't lead it. Some interesting moves and a brilliant position, but the route name really gives away the rock quality...

1 lap on TRS. Broke one hold and fell. Otherwise, clean. I skipped the most fragile 4-5 metres of the route by climbing the face on the right. A bit harder but totally doable

Been wanting to try this for 2 years but failed to find another enthusiast. Finally, learnt how to use top rope solo. 2 laps. Tried to do it clean on the second lap but got too pumped. Despite the rock is mostly average the location, exposure, type of climbing and steepness make it an excellent experience

Ended up grigri top-rope soloing after trying to use a tagline and being unable to pull the rope.
Fortunately, there’s a hands-free rest almost at every bolt, so I could tie backup knots at quite regular intervals. Sick climb, only chossy around the left of the arete. A couple of distinct cruxes, but with the rests the whole way, is definitely overgraded. |

Top rope tough guy! Was shitting myself at the thought of doing of this route, thinking it would be insanely run out but it's fine. Didn't have an abseil rope long enough so tried to do the old tag line jobby, thought it would be to hard to pull, and it was lol Brenden sorted himself out and top belayed me up. Was shit scared the whole time, need to work on my headspace for exposure, some excellent climbing in an insane position with a Lil bit of flakey choss, was so fucking pumped

The route I always gawped at in my very first guidebook 6 yrs ago - the position, the line, the grade etc. Today I got to climb it..a climbing milestone for me. Probably more 22 moves than 23 but with a fierce wind, some shady rock and all that exposure it didn't feel that easy! Sooo cool.

Mega exposure and pump climbing up a proud line. Rock climbing is not the greatest but we didn't break anything.

Clean on Second. Another lap today, 2nding Neil after his ascent. Speed climbing ascent, no resting, no stopping. Gymastic fun.

Total Retro-Flash... Buuuuut I'd seconded Ben Jenga on this (in the dark!) 5.5 years ago, so can't claim the flash . Better than I remember (some average rock, but not too bad), not too hard at the grade (more sustained than cruxy) and the runouts weren't particularly intimidating. No long runners/cams for me Aside from the mission to get to the actual rap-in, I'd definitely recommend this route. The position and climbing is spectacular!

Sweet to clean up this 3 year dog.
Well it hasn't gotten any easier, in fact I think I got more scared and pumped this time.. My hats off to Damo for a clean chalk-less second.. I was gripped. |

In the dark with a headlamp. Absolutely terrifying. One sequence of moves I simply couldn't do after a full day of multipitching, and 2 rests. Hard to find and sketchy to get to rap anchors, About 14 draws for the climb. Some definite 23ish moves amongst pumpy jug hauling. Left side of the arete is steep jug hauling on scary rock, right side is mild-steep thin stuff. You climb both. A bit of a hard-core novelty route more than anything else. Worth a lap if you're committed (Ben) or insane (me).

MEGA
This route is like a harder, longer, scarier version of mosquito slap at nowra.
Tricky start and some scary moments when you have to climb around a wrong side of the arête but all and all not to hard just a litte to much at the end of a long day.
