Ascents in New South Wales and ACT by Jamie Spencer having trad-cpr or ascent-date

Cleaned out some of the dirty horizontal providing slightly better cam options.

Climbs like a full on sport route from the ground up! Harder for me than it looked!

Did some cleaning while leading. Felt easier than other 21/20s cracks. Could just be me though!

Plug and go!

Dream come true.

Two distinct cruxes with some cruiser climbing either side. Hard to set up the bolt plate and clip the second bolt on the crux. Would consider skipping that one on a red point attempt. Great climb.

Splitter cracks for over 100 metres.

Sure, there is veg and dirt on some of the pitch top outs, but it doesn't get much better than this at the grade and... without a single bolt!!! There's gear everywhere!!!

First pitch is a little sandbagged at 17 - feels like a tough 18 with some tricky moves passing the roof/chimney down low.

Sustained, adventurous, and a lot of fun Look forward to getting back on this again. Thanks for the great day out Rene Provis!

Again, felt a little softer than 19 to me. Brilliant hand crack climbing!!

Stepped onto Junction city for the last three hangers. Great link up option to finish with some fun face action.

What an excellent adventure. The last pitch was such a mega jamming stemming smearing flow. Loved the whole thing!

Gentle stemming into a fun overhang with a corner crack. The second pitch had a fair bit of choss on it.

Bush bash mission to find the top of this route, with lots of prickly spike plants profusely piercing my pants… but a fun land engaging line for sure. Reminds me of hazards climbing at freycinet. Pre-placed the draws on the rap because… why not?

Just over an hour from the carpark to base of cliff with some serious bush bashing. The scrambling to get to the base of the climbing is, in itself, actual climbing as well! I lead pitches 1, 3, 4. Ben lead the others with much froth. Rad day and big TRADventure. Ended up missing the correct abseil when walking off the top to come back down. We landed ourselves in Yileen Gully and canyoned our way out fishing the day with a 60m waterfall abseil. YEWWW!!!

Farmers delight on the way out

I lead p2 and p4 Gordy on p1 and p2

Felt a tiny bit easier than 19?

Had an onsight lead attempt but backed off at the top of the flake. Wasn’t in the right headspace or too confident in my placements. Right decision, I also had a handhold snap while having a top rope burn and nearly fell off!!!

Absolutely incredible

Awesome. If only it were 20 metres longer!!

Just did P1. Really epic V-Corner.

just first pitch. thoroughly enjoyed the chimney bit near the top.

First time hand stacking and knee jamming my way up a route. Opted for the dirty chimney finish. Loved it.

Pretty heady for a warm up. Felt spicy down low finding gear but gets better the higher you go.

Great fun and loved the arête moves to the top.

Felt a little tricky off the deck. Wild and adventurous. Kinda hard to spot the carrots at times - note where they are on the rap!

A great challenge and good practice for placing/sizing up cams. Happily climb this one again and again.

Followed Ben who was pulling through in exceptional style to the top.

My turn to lead! felt solid the whole way up placing a mixture of nuts and cams. The first move off the ground is a bit tricky. But you are rewarded with some big jugs throughout the climb. Loved a fat pinch right up before the anchor. Stoked.

Lowered Tom off and then top roped this, removing the gear he placed. Got it clean the whole way. Such a beautiful climb I think it deserves another star!

Jordan smashed this out first. Then I got a turn to lead it too. Nice fresh set of ring anchors at the top out with some extra carrots sitting further back from the ledge too. My favourite part of the climb is the beautiful winding crack just after the razor thin layback start and the small semi o/w roof. Very windy rap back down.

Awesome climbing on good holds. The steps out of the ledge reminded me of whymper a bit!

Second time climbing this but first time leading. Super fun but slimey on the chockstone after first crack.

Pretty epic climb.

Built my first trad anchor which was fun. The view from that first belay ledge is incredible! Even more so once you get to the corner in the roof before the traverse. Space walk was awesome especially being forced to look down at certain points as you duck your head.

The last chimney pitch however was particularly unenjoyable... we couldn’t find any pro from the previous belay apart from the chock stone directly next to it. Meaning a potentially big and unpleasant fall. Perhaps a 4 could fit in a higher horizontal break? The chimney itself seems to big for any gear.

Instead we did a variation which was actually super fun. Climb out to the right of the belay and up to a ledge then over the slightly overhung bulge. Ciara found a little hole in the rock which she looped a sling through. Will have another crack at the chimney next time with better pro.

Overall - definitely get on this climb!
