Ascents of The Stars Look Down as Onsight

Stoked to have gotten the onsight on this. Was feeling confident soloing the start till i could find some marginal gear. A few a my placements were trash which i only realised upon climbing above them... multiple down climbs and readjustments of nuts. Foot also slipped off on the over hang but we still managed to send!

tree provided some much needed pro

Very sporty! Good fun

Shit gear and tricky till halfway up, drop ins after that. All round nice climb.

Ran out of draws so clipped a cam to a wire as a makeshift quickdraw. Thats some big brain shit I tell you!

Fun little face climb. Climbing is not too bad if comfortable with sport moves although the gear is very thin and small

Chill moves easier than some 20's, thin and spaced gear in the first third.

Beautiful line, hopefully will be strong and brave enough to lead!

Thought this was sick! Tricky balancy climbing to great edges

Nice moves, certainly not 21, just meeting 20 really. Set out with all the wrong rack, and had a real scare fest. Thought I saw the Grim Reaper up there but manged to fend him off for another day with my profuse swearing. At one point I considered slinging or even jumping into the nearby pool noodle of a tree. Really reinforced to me that continuing to run it out expecting a good stance and obvious gear is not a safe way to climb, sometimes you need to stop and place fiddly gear even if it does mean risking falling. Risk falling to climb safely, as counterintuitive as it may sound.

Will's impressive and terrifying onsight lead had me laughing and crying simultaneously on on belay. I was thankful to see that despite much mindless consideration he opted not to use the top of the tree as a gear placement or foothold. Runnout 4m above his smallest nut and frantically searching for he placed two more terrible pieces, sucked in a big chest of air and stormed on, steam blowing from his ears. Perhaps it's a miracle that he made it. Needless to say I opted for the top-rope. Will didn't even take small gear but I made sure to inspect such placements in preparation for the Redpoint burn. Great route, remember your smallest nuts.

Superb face climbing and movement. RP's were very handy to have (thanks to Jen for letting me borrow them). Felt like being back at Araps. She ain't a 21 though, the guidebook has this at grade 20, which feels more right. Even then it's quite a bit easier than Devils and piranha. Either way it's a mega classic that I wanted to have another lap on afterwards

It’s fairly easy for a 21 just very heady with small gear but did manage to get two solid totem cam placements

great for practicing the small gear. Took a fair bit of time making sure it was bomb

Took a while for me to commit to the starting moves. Lots of small wires, most of the way up, made this climb feel decently comfortable.

Boldest trad lead to date. The line is absolute class.

an exciting lead in some small nuts

Nice little mover up there. Solid

Sweet little face climb. And the rock and pro are fine throughout. I agree with Swan that it's probably 20 at Araps, but it definitely felt a grade harder than Rickety Kate.

Nice climbing. Felt like Arapiles 20

Exhilarating fun scary climb.

Not your average Frog climbing, lost of wires and face climbing. Really good route.
