Ascensões em Janicepts Area como Flash

Two grades above my hardest ever trad! Very stoked

Killer route, great rock! Thanks Marty Doolan for the beta and big cam and Jeremy for the catch!

Did as a warm up and to get my head into gear for Janicepts. Exciting with nothing larger than a #4!

with Cate

Fun jamming and stemming! Base of the off-width can be protected with a 6.

Glad I saved this one for the good conditions!

Hadn't been on it apart from aiding it about 9 years ago, so calling it a flash 🙂

Suuuuuuper nice. Good start to crack season!

A fantastic line that is definitely in the shadow of its big brother around the corner, The Janicepts.

Usually I'm a jamming fiend but I power lay-backed the heck out of this! Beautiful, steep, corner crack goodness.

Thanks for the gear and crux beta Jack Seawright!

Surprised you don’t hear more about this route. Really good layback with some very marginal stances to place gear. Pumpy.

four months after belaying hayden on his "punt of a lifetime", finally came back for the flash. piddo tried to shut us down again with a messy catch on the plunge (our first climb of the day), but mira's top notch first aid skills had me good to go again. felt like I managed to keep the horrorshow memories out of my head, and just appreciate the climb for the beautiful, varied crack that it is. was also awesome to have the whole crew around, and mira next to me on amen corner. couldn't be happier!

Great beta from Matt, fun to climb on some gear again! May have gotten me frothy for some more time at frog this season...

Jacko forgot to leave gear in for the second, just more pressure to get up it.

Cool Climb, though pretty stiff for the grade.

A line I'll never forget. A hybrid of both pure jamming and techy face moves - and it's steeper than you think. Great gear and brilliant moves, I'm amazed that this was first climbed in 1966!

Blasted through the jamming sequence to the "rest", surprisingly pumped, I tried to regain some dexterity. Stepping out from the alcove the next few moves are elegant and incredibly 'droppable'. Pull through and negotiated the slopey top-out.

Classy corner crack, with a bit of fun groveling. Very old school. For those wanting to protect the off-width, a #6 BD camalot will fit- barely. I had some internet beta, so can't claim an on-sight.

Felt harder than Snappy Dresser...

The most comfortable offwidth I've felt.

A proper battle, the jams are all there, just finding them through the pump is the challenge however 2 no hand knee bars definitely helped. The initial wide bit was super awkward, however, this route easily earns the mega classic rating!

A rich experience and glad I did not lead

excellent lead from Gabe

Very cold hands

Bloody brilliant old school.climbing. A slightly tipped out #6 can protect the bottom of the offwidth (but it would still be a fair whip to fall).

Great lead by Nicole and then i had a dash with the gear still in.

A blue mountains trad classic. I wasn't really expecting to lead this, but sometimes it just happens. Gear was in up to the 3/4 height facey crux section. I'd like to go back and do it sometime putting all the gear in.

My first-time crack climbing, and this climb did not disappoint! I might have to learn how to place gear so I can lead it next time

Intense with a few OK rests. Awesome sustained climbing

Really nice. Almost had an epic when Claire rapped down to find one end of the rope 3m off the ground. Got her to rap into the knot then lower herself with the other end

Gear was already placed, which made it quite a bit easier! Was surprised to find there is very little actual jamming involved on this. No hard moves, just sustained.
