This is starting point to abseil down 3 times. Before going down make sure no one is below you, and shout "ABSEILING" as the basic rule, since our 1st abseiler dislodged many rocks with the sound of a landslide. </div>

At the end of 3rd rap we could not find starting spot of P1 of "Wind Cries Mary." which was shared with "Tom Thumb." Took long time to realize that we mistakenly stopped abseiling at the top of P1. better to memorize the guide about where to stop.</div>
<div style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mdLRqMEGCGI/Tq6KDSRoerI/AAAAAAAAGU0/Xs0T6uYHBrY/s1600/P1070628.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mdLRqMEGCGI/Tq6KDSRoerI/AAAAAAAAGU0/Xs0T6uYHBrY/s200/P1070628.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
At our 1st pitch which was P2(45m, grade 18) needed 8 hangers and 3 cams, we learned that most foot holds were so soft that the leader must be very cautious to protect himself and his belayer by placing his toes carefully on the wall, but not on holds. This style converts grade 18 to 19, and 19 to 20.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After leading P3(pic below, 35m, grade 19,) George is belaying with 3 new carrots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fsaKWa8h6IE/Tq6Kn2bbLeI/AAAAAAAAGVM/tVjiB0EfpIs/s1600/P3-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fsaKWa8h6IE/Tq6Kn2bbLeI/AAAAAAAAGVM/tVjiB0EfpIs/s400/P3-1.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
To lead P4 (30m, grade 18, pic below) needs to use a tree for this overhang start as there was no protection with fall factor 2. If a hand hold comes off at the overhang start, the leader will hit the ledge without spotting as the belayer was hanging still far below at the 3 carrots. So keep the tree alive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YlXCZkGeoLc/Tq6KovgHc_I/AAAAAAAAGVQ/O7lvp8Z7ciY/s1600/P4_second_climb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YlXCZkGeoLc/Tq6KovgHc_I/AAAAAAAAGVQ/O7lvp8Z7ciY/s400/P4_second_climb.jpg" width="286" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Knowing the risk that I might hit the ledge if a hand hold snapped, i went the overhang start. As the second i would not go to the valley that what I thought. As soon as off the ground I shouted "take" to my leader who was top belaying at 30m above me and hardly hear me. I could NOT yell loud enough to reach him as I was overhanging that was out of my calculation. The lucky thing for me was to have the another team "Pom" who were climbing Tom Thumb and taking our pix sometimes, echoed my small yell to my leader. The slack had gone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Though without the slack I was still not sure that I could avoid hitting the ledge if one of the 2 handholds had a problem as the pitch was 30m long. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would not climb here again just after rain. These sand-stones are soft after rain and easy to break off if not getting enough sun light to dry, which normally takes 3 dry days.</div>

I am not training. This chunk was moved when I touched and pulled myself up, though just managed not to drop into the valley, yep kept it on the ledge for anyone climb here to enjoy.</div>

The main purspose of Track Care is to prevent erosin by making steps along walking track and to control rain water running. So we can walk into crag safely.<br />
<br />
<br />
Damien is the key person who has been organizing Track Care with collecting support from local businesses for BBQ lunch for volunteers with his wife and their children every time, and collecting rewards from climbing businesses.<br />
He is regular climber as well.<br />

At Barrenjoey headland i could not take off the ground onto "Cosmic Ecology" trad 14, this time. I could not believe myself that I made it a month ago. (I blame my hard climbing, grade 20 and 21 at Bonnet Bay on the day before.) So instead I went to "Hang Over" trad grade 9, then we felt that it was the hardest grade 9. We celebrated our success at the top.</div>

Our 1st time climb at "Cosmic Ecology." This route was fun for me, but not for Anna who freaked out in case of swinging out and being scraped off.<br />

If she were in the middle of the rope, and were belayed by Heaven and Earth which means, not only being belayed by top belay, but also by bottom belay, she could perform better.<br />
The Heaven and Earth belay will give her an additional feeling of being secured to avoid swinging out much if she have to.<br />
<br />
Additionally as a lead climber, I could have had added an another protection between Red and Green cams.<br />

</tbody></table>Someone was climbing at Hermione at warming up area, Little Trigger Wall when we reach there yesterday regardless of the pink tag. They were told off by one of our local mates, though it was not easy to persuade one of them for him. We need a clear signage about Nankeen Kestrel at the bottom of the route. And more ads for awareness to reach necessary people who do not read anything other than crag info from our guide books or websites, who do not care about the endangered species. We are sharing rock with not only other climbers but also with other native lives.George Kijirohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06432319715026433091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060415756077252874.post-49838872969102513262011-03-05T20:47:00.003+11:002011-03-07T01:33:33.913+11:00Challenge at Bardens Lookout<div class="mobile-photo">Climbing Challenge. This was one of the new routes that Mitch bolted, grade 22. don't know the name which is not even in 2010 guide. managed to clip only 2nd bolt by myself without resting on rope. Thx Mitch for guiding me to go up 3rd and 4th. After 4th i was so exhausted that i felt I should not be there. It was lots of leaning how to move around, so need to be revisited. In the pic Matt is climbing without struggle, was calm.</div><div class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GmxLCjzoJs0/TXNYOThHeuI/AAAAAAAAFT0/V3LGlfl2P7Q/s1600/Photo0565-756484.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580901366022765282" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GmxLCjzoJs0/TXNYOThHeuI/AAAAAAAAFT0/V3LGlfl2P7Q/s400/Photo0565-756484.jpg" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />

The next day was Track Care at Boronia Point with about a dozen of climbers. The half of them who were new to TC went down to Boronia Point's crag to climb after BBQ. Whatever you can offer to climbing community it is good. </div><div class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ypb3wvT1KcI/TXNYOiQetAI/AAAAAAAAFT8/ABqc9kYKDMo/s1600/Photo0569-757800.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580901369979515906" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ypb3wvT1KcI/TXNYOiQetAI/AAAAAAAAFT8/ABqc9kYKDMo/s400/Photo0569-757800.jpg" /></a></div><div class="mobile-photo"><br />

Normally too hot to climb at Berowra in arvo. We spent all day while sprinkling from heaven. My muscles are aching still now.<br />
<br />
I'm thinking to make some flat steps in front of Mental Fatigue and MFDS with stones as it has been eroded badly. Dangerous for blayers since the slippery slope is steepand has many roots exposed high from the ground.<br />
Saw many useful big stones nearby.<br />
<br />
The crag is not in NPWS area, according to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service map below<br />
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/aVl5yb9dj8btql5rRBF3TA?feat=directlink">a part of Berowra Valley Regional Park</a><br />
<br />
This is after our work has been done.<br />
