Simil climbed with Toby. Good fun route but too many parties to by pass and that. Penj was fun tho. Going to link with crest jewel but couldn't find it and had an epic with the water and tobys jeans. Nice one mate. Haha decent via north dome gully so good to scout the descent.

Simul climbed in 90 minutes and linked with North Dome South Face. Not a particularly classic climbing, rather broken up i thought, especially in comparison with S face of N Dome (quite a lot harder).

11 hours car to car. 16 pitches (17 if you count the fact that we had to reverse pitch 16 to get back to the abseil bolts. There was a bit of water after the pendulum pitch and lots of pine needles on the final slab.

Started in a blizzard!!! Awesome day, with traverse through a waterfall for pitch after pendulum...

~9 hours to do the route; ~3 hours to descend. Me - pitches 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 Hol - pitches 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 Didn't bother with the final (16th pitch) as we would have had to reverse the pitch immediately in order to abseil from the top of pitch 15.

Comedy on the pendulum. Find it bizarre the abseil bolts are before the crux of the climb!!!! - talk about crux dodging. Thought this a steady severe until the crux traverse after the abseil bolts on the supposed '5.4 slabs' which most miss out. I'd grade that appallingly deceptive 5.4 final pitch VS, those slabs are as psychologically hard as the glass traverse on Snake Dike, although perhaps not technically as hard. Did the higher 5.6 traverse to get back to the abseil bolts whihc was made harder by the ballbearings! The horrendous 10 abseils made me wish I had traversed the death slabs for a third time! Defo recommend North Gully descent.

Amazing climb in blazing hot weather. Did thedirect start (5.8) to avoid the crowd at the start. Brilliant pitches stacked on top of each other. The pendulem is nothing to worry about but the rap of is. Be careful to find the right bolts and avoid doing the last 3 in the dark....like we did! 12hrs for up and down.

This time we climbed it properly and very quickly to get access to North Dome where we were climbing Crest Jewel the next day. A LOT NICER the second time with no haul bag!

This time we used it as a practice overnight climb. Bad choice to do so, not steep which made hauling a nightmare. But spent a night on the porter ledge for the first time!

Finished about 11am which was when it was starting to get TOO hot to do anything, so very happy about that. Had to cool abseil devices in puddles on descent as they were so hot and yes, they did sizzle.
