Ascensions dans Lower Cliffline

Great jams. Cruisy.

Not bad. Got too happy when I stuck the knee bar and came off. Climbed clean on second attempt.

Wow! This climb is the absolute money! I had 2 attempts to do it clean and came off at the first crux both times, but then fought through to the surprisingly tricky top out. It's like the rock has been imported from the upper mountains! Doesn't feel like a regular gorge climb and I love it! Will be back to work the crux after much fingerboarding. The name tungsten tips is bloody accurate 💯😂

Theoretically this is quite a fun route, with good protection and some interesting moves on the crack section. It is, however, covered in a fine layer of dirt and topped by a mess of shale and choss just waiting to be torn off the wall and shattered on the rocks below. Was glad for the little adventure though and to give Emily some experience with (accidentally) trundling routes.

No Petas were harmed in the ascent of this route.

Great jams and for both hands and feet made it a lot of fun. Used some face holds but tried to stay in the crack as much as possible. Just wish it was longer!

Bouldery first moves to lay backing and super easy top out. Moves more committing than next door neighbour Artists Crack so probably should be 18. Needed a lot of cleaning but once the choss was removed was quite good. 👌

Got the moves dialed and ready to lead it next time. Might bring a 0.5 Friend for the traverse just for the added peace of mind.

Convinced ourselves this was the first pitch of Annelid Crack - or rather that the corner was, but the corner wasn’t very protectable. Neither was the top of this, and we ended up bailing and retrieving gear on rap. But it was a good after work adventure.

Pretty classic for the gorge! Good rock, good climbing!

Dirty but fun

actually a really cool finger crack with good gear, then gets a bit wider at the top. if it was cleaned would be a good direct start to Kippax Crack

08 Jan 2011. Probably one of the better Glenbrook Gorge routes, if it weren't for the horrible Shalebank topout. Makes a great direct start to Annelid Crack.
