Got a bit lost on p3. Mantled halfway along the Skink traverse before Scott pointed out my mistake and I reversed back into the corner.

I appreciated the thoughtful laybacking, but my enjoyment was marred by a nagging fear that I had placed an overcammed cam and a dodgy nut. My worries came true as poor Lizzie was put to work trying to get the gear back. The nut was lost, but huge thanks to the pair behind us who were able to retrieve the cam due to cooler conditions. A good learning experience

Some of the most beautiful, scary and wildy exposed climbing, was very thankful for the #5 Camelot, could also have found placements for a #6 too but my partner said that'd be cheating cause he's a c###. Must do climb.

Superb and very pleasant. Started the climb in the crack on the left which was a lot harder than the slab. Recommend taking at least a #5, I took a #5 and #6 and used both. Third belay station is kind of silly, they should just put two bolts there.

only climbed the 4th pitch as we got here through Mr Chicken. our lack of big cams made this so runout and scary. but as scary as it was, it was also a very exciting and satisfying lead. even with this pitch alone i can say the climb is well worth its stars.

This was a battle and the most sustained pitch. Nice well protected chimney climbing to the first bolt, then tricky moves out around the overhang. I got two cams in the horizontal before making desperate offwidth-ish moves up. My biggest cam was a #4 so was a bit of a runout with tricky moves to the thank God bolt. Then got the #4 in a bit higher and was fighting for my life to the anchor, wishing I had a #5 or 6! Great pitch.

Committing and stressful moves to the bolt. This was the pitch when I realized I don't know how to layback well. I plugged a #3 and #4 in above the bolt then was Elvis legging laybacking around the overhang. Plugged in a desperate #0.75 in a horizontal while foot jamming with my left leg, then found a bomber fist jam for my left hand to get me to ledge. Then it was all over with beautiful easy laybacking up the long slabby corner | 95m, 3 | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||||||||||||||

Another set of hard commuting moves where the jugs run out. Technique was important and some weird off-width jams made for some comfy gear placements. The feeling when you get onto the easy slab is something else. | 95m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||||||||||||||

Mega route! I found it harder than expected, maybe because I spent too long stemming on P3 and got pumped! Eddie laybacked and had an easier time. Had a few goes at P4's steep, awkward crux before getting through. Crux moves would be safe enough but pretty spicy without the #5 and #6. No RPs needed for P3 anchor as the book suggests, 3 bomber pitons instead

Beautiful line, engaged and varied climbing. We did it with only one #4 cam what made p3 and p4 veeery exciting. Would strongly recommned at least a #6. Worth all its stars.

Sensational climb with a bit more bite than expected. Swallow's nest on middle of second pitch, which can be avoided. Previous parties have made the second pitch 'nice cave belay' now the 'pee cave belay.' Beautiful top out with a stonking rope anchor to sit and belay with.

I lead all pitches
Was going to combined pitch 1 and 2 but silly error clipping my rope straight into a cam made to much drag.
Ended up doing in 4 pitches
Almost slipped off one of the layback moves on pitch 4 polished footers
We ended up taking a 4 and 6 cam |

The finale climb for Charles this trip! This route was so engaging and amazing. We linked the first two pitches to speed things up, and then did the rest. We placed a no. 6 cam three times which was satisfying. I plugged in a bomber 0.75 cam at the crux move. Take one up and find it!
Beautiful climbing on the last two pitches.

So, so good. Went too far right at the crux of pitch three and had to do a bit of a strenuous downclimb, but shook it out and finished the pitch.

nice variety and plenty of options to climb with either offwidth technique or holds.
got the ropes stuck on the big cams when hauling them up to the belay after the 3rd pitch - ended up being a pretty straightforward rap to retrieve them though. I guess that makes me the cliched bumbly on Watchtower Crack the kiwi graffiti/poetry in the toilets alluded to though. |
