Ascents of The Big Day Out

First attempt putting draws on. Tricky route, have your beta ready!

All beta that can be forgotten will be forgotten.

Couldn't work out the traverse

Couldn't work out thw traverse

trusted the crimp and then had some excitement when the side pull blew as i popped to the rail, great to put it to bed second shot.

Intended to try Quickie but when it was taken was recommended this. Very cruxy and took a while to figure it out, saw a comment about span and felt i should add it's not a height thing so much as a balance thing.

Yeah not today I think.

3 burns today. And managed to put it all together and get to the anchors as it started to rain during the last few moves! So much fun. 2nd crux is great!

Through crux fine but then fell over the bulge because I forgot a key pocket. Frustration! Need to remember over bulge - left on rail, right in pocket, feet up, left cross to crimp, right cross to side crimp, then adjust feet to straighten up to high ledge.

Very impressed with those who can make the span. My thoughts are if Mitch (6"5') can't do it, no one can! Would love to know the secret.

First time on this route. Spent loads of time and effort to unlock the sequence of the 'big move', need to remember right hand on the good triangle, right toe hook out right then cross left hand to the crimp before crossing right way out. Tricky little bit of a slab afterwards but largely ok and should be able to get this next time...

First time back on it in a long time. Figured out all the moves. Just need to come back and try again.

The big move on traverse was too big for me.

Good fun climb although not very sustained

Lots of fun and not that reachy with good sequence / footwork.

Big move, wasn't feeling it today....

Came down at 2nd bolt, need to work out of the moves

Probably classic. Awesome bottom and top with THE move in between. Finally got it repeatedly fairly easily with right foot backstep on the highest most left ramp, cross over to crimp on headwall with left hand, left foot toe catch in bottom of slot and then pretty easy reach to pocket. Thanks Albert for the high foot suggestion. Definitely short person's beta. Will have to come back one day to tick. Quickie is no harder.

3rd shot today. Rad climb with a couple of really interesting moves!

Funky moves, steep, slab, nice line

Wicked.

Big reach b/2 2nd and 3rd bolts. The rest is gold !!
