Booroomba Rocks North Buttress Northern Slabs
9 Sunstroke - with J Banks, Penny Thomson
1 40m Second lead by J Banks

We planned for Jannice to lead pitches 1 and 3, and I would lead pitches 2 and 4, but Jannice ended up running pitch 1 and 2 together (which is also what happened the first time I climbed this route as a seconder).

2 20m Second lead by J Banks

Jannice ran pitches 1 and 2 together.

3 25m Trad lead by Faith Meckley

When planning this route, I deliberately asked not to lead pitch 3, as the overhung start made me nervous. It ended up being really good for me that Jannice accidentally ran pitches 1 and 2 together, leaving me to lead this pitch. The overhung block start is much easier than it looks, with plenty of protection. I actually found the steepening groove/crack section after the start much harder and more interesting, and was very pleased with my clean and measured lead through there. Jannice and Penny had very validating reactions when they seconded that section.

4 35m Second lead by J Banks

Jannice did not find an anchor point to her satisfaction, and wandered off far left back to the Melmoth rap point to finish the climb.

As stated in my initial log of this route as a seconder with Meg and Jarrah, I was keen to come back and lead it someday, and I finally did! It's even better on lead, and I look forward to repeating and enjoying Sunstroke many times in the future with friends, and hopefully with clients. I would love to eventually log leads of every pitch. It was great to bring Penny along as the seconder. She greatly enjoyed the multipitch adventure and the stunning views.

Done in 3 long pitches. Extended the first pitch to belay on sloping ledge below thin cracks. Second, Straight up the thin cracks above... (nut in crack on bushy ledge)

Did someone leave something behind at the top of sunstroke?

It's ok, if you're soloing it... take a beginner here or don't bother, most of the slabs are better than this
