Ascensioni in Tasmania

Onsighted first pitch (DP) but just missed out on the sent on the second pitch. Honestly, don't really mind that much though as it was an amazing experience either way!

Thanks so much Wynnie for making this happen, for letting me lead both pitches and for keeping a cheery mood despite getting soaked up to the shoulders on the first belay (with low tide and small swell).

Only first pitch

It's a great route, onsighted the first pitch where the crux it's at the bottom and sent the second pitch in my second attempt.

Beautiful face climbing

great day with some stunning climbing. Had a rest on P2 . Thought the route could be renamed chalk is cheap given the excess! Back to the van before the rain

Skipped pitch 1, one sit on pitch 2 and 6. This thing is stacked with good climbing!

Fairly smooth sailing today on this classic route. Insane movement in an outrageous position!! Rock definitely could do with an exfoliation haha. Route was suffering from pretty bad spooge.. Which I guess is usual? Made pulling through all the cruxes super exciting. Sadly pulled on cams during pitch 6 and couldn’t get the completely clean send. All things considered; very happy with the day. About as fun as it gets!!

Conditions depending; this might not be as chossy as it felt at first blush; as it was- most of it felt like sandy rock basted in cold wet vaseline.

Stars for the position and the movement, and the mission of bolting this thing; but reaching a hand-jam-rest that you've been eyeing up, only to find it full of cold wet grease that sticks to your hands and is immune to chalk, left me dispirited to say the least. Hopefully it cleans up with some more traffic, lots of loose flakes and rock dust around, and maybe we just got unlucky with the spooge.

We set a 70m fixed line to cut the raps in half, and stashed water and food at the halfway mark. Pre-equipped the 24, and then the second-to-rap clipped the rope above them at halfway on the final rap, so as not to launch the rope into the sea as we pulled it. Definitely bring a helmet, and keep a tight-squint while belaying to avoid the rock chips raining down from above. Took us about 9-10 hours from car to car.

very impressed with Jake's onsight of pitch 2 despite it being covered in cold grease, and I took a king whip through the roof on pitch 3, which was a real thrill. Pitch 4 and 5 were 3 star, would repeat.

Finally, to add to the drama of the day, I opted to leave my pocket unzipped on the rap for a bit of added spice. Predictably resulting in the launching of my phone straight out of said pocket, from the very top, down into the deep dark abyss.

All in all, a long day of type 2 fun. would recommend.

Grand morning out. Bolting is nice. Bit spicy at the start of the 21 pitch. Awesome position.

Just the first pitch. Really good. Used a black totem up the top.

came back for the 23 that we skipped 2 years ago, its pretty hard, also the 19 is one of the flowiest 19s around.

An epic to add to the story book live for these ones!

Slowly getting into this slab business. Found P2 hard and was proud to get the onsight through some diabolical moves. Foot slip on the start of P3 while spanning out through the bouldery start left me with a painful shoulder injury. P4 was slabby goodness!

Outrageous movement in a spectacular location. Diverse and sustained climbing makes for a great day out.

Onsight on the first pitch. Second pitch is awesome. Hard crux!

What a great route. I took first pitch which was easy enough and quite pleasant. Martin took second pitch and I almost got it but needed a sit at the crux. I'll come back to lead this one it's excellent and well-bolted.

P1 led then second through the crux pitch, crux had super glassy feet with quite a reach for holds

first pitch has some weird positions, and some of the clips felt a bit tenuous. second pitch was glorious, and even more tenous!

Just the first pitch. Great pitch. Consistently engaging.

Second pitch is sick... Botched the moves through the crux though.

First 3 pitches. The first two are excellent.

Could not for the life of me reach the extra couple of inches to pull through the crux. Considered a dyno to a flared hand jam but couldn't commit to the whip into a ledge if I missed. Downclimbed and bailed after the first pitch
