	28	Crack glove ★★★ Ozymandias (free version) - with Lee Cujes 1 23 25 Trad lead by Aaron Jones, Lee Cujes A couple of meters of nice slab climbing before degrading into moist mank. 2 28 52 Trad lead by Lee Cujes, Aaron Jones The most spectacular, beautiful and intimidating corner soaring up to infinity and beyond. We both sent it first shot on lead, after an hour or so on TR solo the day before. The best beta I've heard for this pitch is "if you find yourself pulling hard, you're not stemming well enough". 3 25 30 Aid This was soaked, we jugged passed it unfortunately. 4 24 35 Trad lead by Aaron Jones Sketchy stemming for about 5m, then the gear improves and it backs off and becomes more enjoyable to the awkward hanging belay. 5 22 30 Second lead by Lee Cujes A stunning, sustained finger sized corner, with the jambs becoming more pleasing the higher one gets. This one combined with the crux pitch must be 2 of the best single pitches of granite in Oz. 6 22 35 Trad lead by Aaron Jones Old skool grunge involving most sizes of crack. Thoroughly enjoyable...after the event. Watch the drag. 7 19 15 Second lead by Lee Cujes Sweet airy traversing, with a spot of tree climbing thrown in for good measure (sorry tree). Glad to have converted to the dark side and donned crack gloves for this one. 8 14 20 Trad lead by Aaron Jones End rock climbing. Commence canyoning. But how do you get off the ledge?! 9 10 25 Second lead by Lee Cujes Joyous canyoning.	Trad 270m	★★★ Mega Classic
A long term goal fulfilled '*'. It took many years to gather the grit to commit to this one. Due to weather we only had 2 and a half days on the route. This reduced the pressure somewhat, because the scale of the thing felt insurmountable. Knowing how my brain works, this is probably is the reason it came together. Unfortunately pitch 3 was soaking wet and unclimbable, boo.

Last tried this 23 years ago with Heath Black, still remembered that cigarette box block. Went ok this time. Great intro back to the Mount.

A phenomenal line. Mega classic climbing, nothing too hard with excellent hand jam rests. Must come back to do it on redpoint.
