Ascents in Australia as Onsight by Vanessa Wills

Bouldery fun. The hardest of the 3 as many of the holds are blind.

Novelty through hole.

The climbs might be easy and short, but we had fun. Thanks to the route equipper.

Found the move off belay at start the hardest en route ( short arms). Second pitch just lovely. Led P2 and 3…..

Some nice moves once in the stemming groove. The 9 th or 10th bolt’s nut was quite loose. I finger tightened it, worth bringing a spanner

Interesting enough, found it as tough as the other two, though may have been just reacquainting myself with the Pipes dolerite

Intricate crux at about third height for me that was quite enjoyable. A bit stop/ start from half height

Not too bad for a late addition, though top a bit contrived and friable

Interesting lower section

Original ascent was solo, weirdly coming up as red point. Rpt today

Tricky start keeping left of arete. Stupid finish.

It’s a squeeze but didn’t feel too contrived

Surprised to see a standard solo for many years now with bolts

I have this ticked as a solo, but I think that was Plum Duff. This is almost a retrobolt of Pimple and of similar difficulty

Another questionable route

Seriously, I walked down this with no hands and the dog ran up it. Needs to disappear.

The one I hadn’t done. Finished up Karinya by mistake. Found going direct at 3rd bolt quite tough for grade

Crap rock, only good move is the starting mantle ( if you don’t chimney)

Trade winds will become a trade route I suspect

A bit like the ironstone bits of BBB but a lot shorter

Setting up a Tr for the grandkids. Followed by sprints around the pump track which was far more exhausting

Nice, would be great but for the ledges

Pleasant climb for grade

Fun. Non jammers may not like this

Is a 20 on thesarvo. One big move

Felt twice as long as it was, quite thoughtful

More like a sand river 14

I didn’t think it was hard except the reachy bit straight off the ledge if you can’t reach the top of the flake. Both halves have nice moves. A bit too much mizzle coming in to do more today, but nice spot .

Rock quality rather blah ( even the good bit) . Quite pumpy

Very dirty, and horrible start. If you are short just step on partners knee….

A plus for bolt camouflage but minus a couple of stars for contrivance and bolt placement.

Felt Contrived

Long moves between horizontals

I thought better than route to the right

The grid bolting detracts

Definitely not 18 as in the guidebook. Very hard start., had to get out crack glove, and hard second clip

Quite a nice climb

Start pretty thin but ok. Top easy.

Another good crunch route, short but fun

Well bolted

Rock improves up higher

Nice juggy fun and probably a grade easier if tall

Pretty gnarly move off sharp and small crimps, unless you can reach the good one

Interesting crux

Did as suggested in guide and started at first bolt rather than create a mega cairn.

The move off the low ledge is tricky if you can’t reach the jug
