Great to clean up this old dog
After all the effort to get up to the ledge it was nice to come home with the prize. Agreed that this is the best pitch of limestone for the grade in Australia! Awesome tufas with stacks off varied moves, a great blob to sit on and a possible heart breaker up high. the best climbing we did all weekend. Get on it.. |

27 | ★★ The Dark Hour of Reason | 15m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | |||
After Will made this look 28 on his first lap I was a bit hesitant to pull on but with the right holds and and a couple of hard pulls this climb looses a bit of its sting. Crimpy and sustained start with a couple of quick shake holds then good jugs halfway and cruise to the top. Pretty soft tick at 27, but who doesn't like a good sugarbag.
Second shot.

26 | ★★★ Screaming Insanity | 15m, 9 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Yep, something Specail for sure. I got boxed in at the last draw on the flash but walked it second shot. Lots of knee bars that just don't quite fit but such fun. Went on to flash the extension.

26 | ★★★ Rolling Thunder | 30m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Second shot today after punting the move in the second roof first time up.
Super pumper route but I find last move pretty hard being tall. Plenty of jugs but steep the whole way.

24 | ★★★ Offender Of The Faith | 30m, 10 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Nice one, cleaning up a old dog.
A quick lap up on Paul's draws, I found the middle to be the crux today but loved every minute of the great well chalked classic.

Bells Line of Road & Chifley Rd Bell Supercrag Departures (Upper) | ||||||
23 | ★★ For Flake's Sake | 14m | ★ Good | |||
With a few more repeats this route would be really cool. Climbs the obvious flake in the middle of the wall with some fun moves and a pumpy finish.
Second shot as balked the big move first shot.

24 | ★★ Rottwelier | 30m, 13 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Wow this is a full value warm up on a hungover morning. I was really grateful for Andy for putting the draws on this beast right to the top of the cliff.
Not as choss as it looks with a much needed lay down rest half way. Long draws are a must in the middle. |

Sh*t yeah first shot today!!
Such a high quality and fun rig. The top two bolts are very easy climbing but you would kick yourself if you fell off.

27 | ★★★ Autophagocytosis | 20m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sweet third shot today, would have sent second shot but muffed the start then went to the top.
Awesome long steep route with many many hard/tricky spots but split by good recovery jugs. I think being tall makes this a bit soft but lots of fun, heaps of micro beta to be found on this climb.

Sweet, something ticked today off the dog list.
Dont underestimate this long sustained and some times confusing test piece. Even once to get through the crux it still a long way before you reach the thank good jug. I really had to dig deep to stick this..
If you like shipley routes you will love this! |

Why haven't I been on this one yet? Really tricky and sustained climbing in the first half then steep course not as good as you would like them jugs in the upper. Much steep then it looks and much better. The best of the 5"s on this side and the hardest.

Hooray I finally got fist-ed..
10th day on, third shot over a few days finally got thought the crux and took my time to the top. With 3 no hands rests I think this may easier then Joshua.

The top head wall on this mega route is super but the tufa start has balls on it. At least 6c+ if not 7a.

Sick, this is such pumpy steep swingy climbing. First shot today on Dynomatt's draws, one shot a years or so ago. A touch soft if your a pumper with big holds the whole way. Super.
