Re: New Routes 2020
Yep, those ridges were climbed and a few other routes done on trips by the TUMC in the early 1970s but nothing written up, Broken and a tad shattered if I recall so even though grades are easy beginners should watch out for loose rock? Pity about the fires which really buggered up the forest below too, the open areasRe: Xanadu buttress, and a suggestion of ethics?
Yeah routes are a bit to close. Ugly. I suspect in time climbers will get into trouble for disregarding aboriginal heritage at sand river. Sands river is a really nice addition to Tasmanian climbing especially as a winter option . In my limited experience there I did feel like there were some pretty nice bits of rockRe: Xanadu buttress, and a suggestion of ethics?
Not tafoni, just a really beautiful and highly unique rock structure - I haven't seen anything quite like it at Sand River, similar to something you might see in the SW desert areas of the US. There are lots of places to put climbs at SR, and we have plenty of those, but sometimes something is so unusual and specialRe: Boneyard rap rope
Thanks for the work Adam. Thanks for the rope really goes to Steve at Climbing Anchors and also a big thanks to Garry, Andrew, Gerry, Ingvar, Chris C (who welded the fixed line supports) and everyone else who sunk the time and bolts($) into Bare Rock. It is such an awesome gift to come back from a world class climbingRe: New Routes 2017
Cathedral rock, Rocky Cape Roughly 10 routes done between 2015 - 2017, possibly still a few easy lines left to do. Just under an hours walk from the carpark (very pleasant walking). It's a pretty small crag but it's a stunning place to be. The pick of the bunch is Rorogwela, grade 23 on gear, but for climbersRe: New Routes 2017
Yeah, I looked at the line of Acropalyptic a couple of years ago - good effort John. I agree with your overall assessment of the crag and grading as well. Rapping in is the way to go. The rock on these top pitches is absolutely brilliant, and the crag gets ledgy and mossy the further down you go. Plus its is justRe: Safety at the expense of environment.
surviving trees and nothing on the crags, a complete contrast to the present situation - but it will all burn again, just a matter of time. And all the rockRe: New Routes and News 2016
Summertime Buttress Another little piece of nonsense from the old fellas..... The Bentwood 12m 16 3 Þ ↓ The buttress to the far left, past a deep chimney. Steep but fun climbing on good rock up the nose of the buttress, staying left at the top. DBB (12m). T. McKenny, and B. Bull, BRe: New Routes and News 2016
Organ Pipes. Summertime Buttress... again, X2. Thor 11m 15 ↓ Good rock, good gear and good moves. Takes the right-hand arête of Dave's wall to DBB. Rap: 11m. T. McKenny, B. Maddison and B. Bull, Jan 2015 *Gone Viral 12m 18 5Þ ↓ NeatRe: The Nut
Apparently there is a long bolted route on it somewhere that is overhanging put up by Barry ? and Chris ? several years ago. But much better climbing to be had at Rocky Cape and Sisters beach (better quality rock for one). If you are looking for someone to climb with anytime let me know as I live near Burnie
