Ascents by Vanessa Wills having Distinct route

2nd pitch harder than eternity, same type of diagonal classic crack

Found this really fun and not thrutchy at all

What a great little route

5.9 on MP and in guidebook that seems fair, hardest start of the day. Stellar route once above the slippery start

why do I feel like Im going to fall on the 16s here?

Good after the jamming bit

Something new to warm up on

Got to love that chockstone, good warm up

While infinity was occupied decided to jump on this. Actually really pleasant, stayed out of chimney for first third with little gear, then slunk inside, but the 3 dimensional climbing was fun and not too thrutchy at all.

Heaps of good protection. Nice climb hidden away

heaps of gear

historical interest only

Fun route

Doesn’t look like much due to vegetation, but these don’t impact on climb. Deserves more traffic

Led half the climb. A busy day, we were the middle of 3 parties so spent more time waiting than climbing. Should have got up earlier Nevertheless it was a really nice climb that exceeded expectations except for pitch 2. Continued to the true summit before walking down. The 2 pitons people have stressed about recently on p3 are both old and rusted And clearly been there for a long time.

Better than the gully.

May be the first time I've dissed an araps route, didn't like it, rock terrible top 2/3.

I feel nervous about the chicken heads, but they seem solid

Went up someline 2m to left of where I should've, with interesting steep moves to base of P2 which linked into one long pitch.

lower section fun

A little thrutchy, not too bad and something new to do

Alt with Dave. Nice and airy. I had to hang pack from waist and lower out from toe hook to get to jug. Must have missed something, or maybe it’s just poor shoulder mobility.

Final route this trip due to rain. Great way to end. Did P1-3 as one, and then final pitch, with Gunter.

My comfy shoes were skating all over the place. Time for a resole maybe

Quite improbable position, good fun

what a line, led all 4 pitches

slabfest

Got on the right route today. Quite nice. The low roof shared with Honeycomb feels stout for the grade

Not too bad

Had finally dried out

Much better than it looked, nice moves, small gear, no fat cracks as guidebook implies

Felt easier than the corner due to nice size jambs

I only had 3 cams.

One hard move, harder than anything on Turkish delight

one move wonder

Fun trad route

very old skool trad 2 pitches

dirty but a way to the ledge I suppose. Combined P1 and 2 because cave looked awful. MB P3

Led in 2 pitches for some multipitch practice. Second pitch up arête is nice.

Sandy and some nearby crap rock if you abseil too far

Cruisy. An Arapilean 14!

The gr de 16 offwidth feels harder than the 20s

not deserving of a star

probably best as one long pitch

the granite takes a little getting used to! Did this cos Possum was taken.

Quite fun, esp the improbable start

First route at Moonarie linked with Buckleys

Probably fine, I just felt like I was going to slip off

Linked both pitches. A bit tricky and ledgy in places

Great day out, though took us a while to find start.

Felt harder than route to left, may be body size related

Exit

quite OK gear despite the guidebook warning

take more medium cams

Only one move really, made insecure by the ferns

Some slightly better rock

Probably the first sports route in Aus, and you can enjoy the original carrots! Prob 17 in modern grades

Did it from ground via Apple arete for a 25 m route. Finger crack good but short. Fortunately didnt see the snake just before anchors.....

Small cams and wires in shallow seam in mid section

not very inspiring

more like 19 with hard move off a pebble

Good moves around the bolt.

Well worth doing, good hand crack and now with bonus anchors

Good providing it gets enough traffic to keep clean

kick the crabs out of the way at the belay

despite it being low tide and no swell still wet

rocks a bit suss. About 3m of good climbing

Left of descent gully, interesting moves.
