Ascents in Coastal Cliffs having Beta

with kirk.first multi pitch climbing

Following Laura. Really nice.

Did first pitch then retreated due to rain

Easy warm up climb

Mistook for 15 on left and crossed over to grade 10 half way up. Made 2nd pitch too long which created too much drag and made communication difficult. Lesson learned

Did the proper route this time, cruised route but a little harder than grade 10

my very first trad lead climb

Arapiles by the seaside. Dreamy easy climbing with bomber pro.

Good morning sunrise... A fun pitch of easy soloing with some nice jams, but the rock deteriorates badly as it gets higher, making for some scary soloing. Nice long 45m pitch!

as the name suggests... it was an easy corner climb!

Taking two novice new friends climbing with limited gear. Led in crocs as they were using my shoes.

Felt much harder than Apline (12) for some reason. Some fiddly gear, not much pro in places. Split it into 2 pitches at the small triangular ledge ~25m up (level with Apline belay stance) which helped with rope drag.

First ever lead on a Mulitpitch. Super enjoyable. Did it in 2 pitches with Matt Leading the last 10m.

Fun easy climbing in some mediocre weather. The top is pretty alpine haha.

Dave got creative on the finish (after the climbing is not obvious), which was fun! just looking for the most interesting climbing, maybe we finished slightly off route. Also got nearly to the end of the rope.

The first section was rad, the last half was a bit of a ramble, it was a climb and we had a good time, bitterly cold lucky it was easy climbing

Once with laura and then once again with Henry at night time. Glorious jug hauling.

barefoot

breezy! added an extra pitch traversing the wall on the right for fun. two 10s on a 10!

nice hand jams with some lovely jugs to help out. may have wandered off route a bit at the top and went up an icky gully. found a large loose block and kicked it down once the bottom was clear.

almost almost killed us with a meter tall death block that was 1 gust of wind from coming off

nice

nice to repeat

Downclimbed this about 10 times

Thoroughly enjoyable climb for my first multipitch lead.

Trad is BACK baby

First ever Trad Lead with Chris Seconding

Climbed in tandem with Will and Toby next to us. We smashed out our pitches, but Will decided to stitch toby to the wall with a rope anchor, where we were benighted.

Toby was left to climb in the dark, with Fillipa providing the light from the next climb over.

After sitting ready to belay for an hour in the cold and dark, the smell of sausages in the distance and the promise of goon tempted will and I just leave the others behind, but we all made it out and had a jovial night.

The first 2/3 are Stellar. But the rest is average.

Wonderful area, nice route, which would receive more stars if the end was a bit nicer. Sunny day after a whole lot of rain the day before. I thought the climb would not be possible but with the wind and sun hitting the wall early on it seems it dries quickly (at least this time it did).

Interesting choice for our first climb

Raul led 1st pitch, I led the second. Such a beautiful spot! and a very nice crack line to follow.

Bailed out on the 22

Apparently I did this on second but can`t remember doing it.

Don't ask! Steve's responsible for this mega-trad adventure. Still, his head wasn't right and he wasn't feeling well...

With neets

TCIA MPG training climb. With Bill Baxter. Trad.

really cruisy, gear removal training for my seconder, which she loved me for....would be a nice solo

TCIG MPG training climb. With Bill Baxter. Trad.

With neets

A most excellent climb, not to mention epic views. Allows for a wide variety of moves. Nice side pulls and sit ins.

Really good, did in two pitches, nice access traversing above crashing waves, not hard but not grade 8 either.

Super enjoyable cruisy romp

Super fun with nice positions for the grade, though would say the route I went up the headwall was harder than 8, maybe 10. It's like a choose your own adventure though.

Nut retrieval. TR up blank-ish face. Fun!

Awesome abseiled down into the climb, slab-ish easy grade but can become harder with different beta

Stoked with my first eight!

Led on all passive pro and a nice route to shake out a hangover. Lovely.
