Jumped during climbing 'After the Sunset' pitch 3 and 4 on here. P3 I needed needed 2 tries again to get over the top ledge/crux. First shot on P4: rested a few times in the rope in the first meters, then cruising up (for a 23...). Nice climb.

Just P1-2, getting back up for cleaning session #2 on Super Natural. Richard wanted to climb this and linked 1-2, I had no hope of seconding the low overhang with a pack and cleaning gear on me but gave it a shot, nope. Then got my foot trapped trying to aid the crux, was hanging around inverted swearing for a while. Extracted myself and skipped the indignity of being hauled by nipping around into Super Natural and back onto the Fraggle slab, which is nice.

Also bloody good. Started in a post-lunch coma but woke up pretty fast. Great slabby moves, fairly sustained at 20+ most of the way. Possibly 3 stars if it was cleaner, though it's clean enough if you trust the occasional lichen smear. Should have led it dammit, will be back for that.

Consistent all the way. A lot of lichen makes it hard to spot the feet and at times you are on lichen slopers. High priority for a clean. Topped out through some dead bushy stuff I didn't remember being there, couldn't find the anchor, then discovered a tree had died and fallen right onto it. Considerable swearing while balanced on more lichen. Got anchored then spent a while wrenching the tree off and sent it down. Rap cleaned. This will be bloody great after a good brush.

Pretty good, nicely long, took 3 hours to climb. Perhaps spoiled a bit by the hand line section. P1 is quite delicate, P3 traverse is nice, P4 is soft unless you are short, P5 is great and the crux would make a terrific photo, lots of air under you. Screwed up right at the end and sketchily traversed left to the top of what is probably Fraggle Rock because I couldn't see the anchor above the ledge. Walked off up and along the ridge and back to camp by noon.

Don't do a 60m wrap right from the top. We got our rope stuck and had to ascend the rope to fix it. Three other groups had the same problem.
Aside from this the climb was awesome! A good cruisy day out with exceptional views and very good climbing. Would recommend.

Last pitch (P5) without big problems this time. Didn't spend much time searching hand holds before the corner so I still had enough energy to reach the far bolt (4th). From there more or less straight to the top, moves ok just the sequence is a bit awkward on some places.
Nice cruisy first pitch, even in #wet conditions. Like this one. |

Climbed the top 3 pitches, Rafael lead the first 17 pitch, I lead the top two. I love the grade 20 pitch, awesome moves with a nice slice of exposure! Linked up with Boat Ramp Crack (17) and the 2nd pitch of Gravity Games (19, super dirty but good climbing deserves a good scrub) for a great 4 / 5 pitch (5th pitch is very short) link up. Took 4 abseils to reach ground with a 70m rope!

Hand still coping. 3 on a rope, a fun ramble with a nice view of a crux plummet. Gareth got the money pitches. We had left gear at the bottom so abseiled off, which took 1.5 hours for 4 raps on a single 60m rope and was a fairly suboptimal experience with a cramped first anchor and plenty of trees to get the rope stuck in on the way down - definitely walk off.

Walked off the top, highly recommended, rapping seems like a painful process.

Fantastic P1: slopey technical start with spicy arete. P2: a couple bold moves on slab but otherwise consistent 16 - ridiculously high bolted DBC at the top. Got lost on P3 (make sure to go left at P2 anchor, path a bit hidden). P4 another beaut: lots of movement, tricky start but then fun wandering line. Would have been 'After Sunset' for P4 & P5 so cruised back down.

Had an epic. After the Sunset finishing after the sunset on New Year's day, for a 10-pitch day? What a great plan. Got out there at 6pm, still bastard hot, but got on as two ropes of two, following a pitch behind. Cooked like prawns up P1-2, and the P2 topout is now very dirty and uninspiring. By sunset we were mostly all at the bottom of the crux pitch, but Greg had mistakenly gone right after bolt 2 into the Mexican Americans crux, was falling repeatedly and knackered. After discussing the unappealing bail options, I swapped into leading the crux pitch by head torch, then settled in for top belay while Jonno seconded, Greg and Gareth jugged up. Topped out just before midnight, then soon lost the ridge track in windfall. After an hour of nervous random bush bashing near cliffs, we failed to pick up the track again, took a phone topo map bearing toward the kinloch track and bashed over to that for another hour behind Gareth the Sweary Bulldozer, then slunk down to camp, getting in at 2.40am on the 2nd. Camp-to-camp time: an appalling 9 hours 10 minutes. Swim, beer, snacks, more swearing, bed, rest day. More could be written. Type 2 fun.

Fcking epic.
Made it back to camp at 2.40am, ran out of water before midnight. May have got short tempered with a few people, and convinced people we weren't going to refind the walkoff track, and to just follow behind the grumpy bogan with a GPS fix. Theres a Gareth sized hole through the bush somewhere up there. I've never been so happy to find the bike track, get back to camp, neck a ton of water, neck a beer, and demolish a whole tin of spam (Ridiculous amount of calories in those it turns out, but salt and fat, made it the best thing I've ever eaten). Grumpily did crux pitch on ascenders set up as a frog rig, as I'd been chilling on the belay ledge below for 2 hours, it was late, and I wanted off the bloody rock. Still have a lump in my leg nearly 3 months on from being hit with a dislodged rock on the bushbash back. |

Stoked with this one, great multi, the move on the 5th pitch around the arete is chef's kiss. Quite difficult to rappel.

Absolutely outstanding, a must-do. Had been saving the onsight attempt for a couple of visits now, stoked to get it. Not as hard as I expected, there are a number of no-hands rests and face holds apart from the crack. Taping up is a good idea to take full advantage of the many great fist and hand jams. Eats hexes!
Ran into Gerard Tarr on the way down, who had been up completing new pitches above, Hecklers multipitch, woo! |

Probably the hardest thing I have seconded, probably just as hard to second as to lead. Tape gloves would have helped. Terrific onsight fight from Grant.

Pitch 1 felt 18, but a shorter reach might make for a different story.
Rappelled off to the ground with 60m rope no problem.

Wow. I forgot how good this is. Lichen on the RH face doesn't detract much (but could use a clean), bomber and plentiful gear, really fun crux jam sequence above the roof. We were both absolutely fizzing at the top, got down and wanted to jump straight back on lead. Four stars in a 3 star system.

Absorbing traverse with good gear. Took a sit before the crux to sort my head out, then committed to the high compressed undercling moves. Getting gear in around the corner had me going a bit after that. Top pitch is maybe a bit stiff for 16, in the same way High Hopes is. Ran both pitches together with acceptable drag, but resulted in poor communication.

Superb climbing, bomber jams, plenty of no-hands rests if you look for them. Started to rain just after Gareth began seconding. Lowered him, waited it out with raincoat, pulled a second rope up and rap-cleaned it by down-jammimg with one hand (RH face a bit wet and mossy). Sloped off back to camp through wet bush.

Some sharp holds on the second pitch. Did it all as a single 60m climb but rope drag was a lot would be better to split it into first pitch and link together second and third pitches.

Grovelled in one or two places and almost pumped out due to second guessing pro. Was a joy to climb, glad I waited till I had a high chance of onsighting because this climb is worth it.
So many options for gear, so many options for jams. Epic. |

Bloody good, highly recommended. Much cleaner than I was expecting too. An easy warmup cruise up most of Raw Umber lulls you into a false sense of security, then get your runout trousers on for the tricky arete crack (or take a couple of finger size cams). Then it's time for the main game, up the black-streaked corner. You can step across left to a good rest, but getting back right will be tricky if that's where you want to go. Spent a good long while figuring out how to keep moving up on the left and didn't want to leave the rest, but it's all there at the grade. Easier to the top, then best rap down is to the Raw Umber anchor.

Headgame collapsed at rooflet. Proceeded to have a bit of an epic. Probably owe my belayer a few beers next trip....
Didnt really take the right gear, needed more 1s and .75s. Placed enough gear, back-cleaned and recycled enough gear, that although the moves were all pulled free, I should probably give up and take up aid climbing. I'lll be back |

Unexpectedly slipped off onto the first bolt, lowered and pulled the rope for another go. Should have warmed up on something. Strayed too far right after that, hard to get back left. Might remember next time. Got up and off with just a few spots of rain, sheltered from the NE.

Back to get it, a hell of a fight. Suckers you by starting easy then getting slowly harder until you're packed into a strenuous jam/undercling with very high feet out at the crux. The step around/down (maybe there is another option here) to the vertical crack needed a lot of willpower, then took an age to protect it while wrecked. The "trad belay" seems dodgy due to a hollow sounding block and limited options, kept going to anchors with solid rope drag, belayed with poor comms. Harder than Hecklers I reckon, need more opinions.

Thought I was going to manage to pull the crux move. Then proceeded to eat shite, but less epically than the last time. Made it up, will have to try again someday. Definitely not all over once you're past the obvious crux.
