Ascents as Red point by Josh Caple

if it was 27 pitches longer, it would be a grand adventure- at 8m its a worthless pile of choss.

havent done this one in a few years!!

always a fun route

went 4wding and was in the area... couldnt go past without showing felly the crag!

alzeimers onsight... effing cruised it, dunno what my issue was all those years ago!

simul-solo with pat, wearing giant sombreros

2nd shot. effing rain!!!!!

well isn't that nice! 1st shot of the day, was really tired but felt uber solid which was kinda surpsising

with 3 bolt plates in pissing down rain. yeehaa

fun

what is it with me & hand-cracks? o/s solo in hiking boots!! climbing was fun & felt locked in but started stressing a bit at the top cus of some friable rock... great fun anyhow

mmmm jugs!

OS. did Keyboard variant to 1st pitch. went up on some dodgy beta that there was a #2 cam in the 2nd pitch, but it had already been retrieved

OS. fun enough

my first ever araps climb- solo & in dunlop volleys, the way it SHOULD be

in tevas, with a camera bag, in the wet, by accident... probly would have fallen but for the phone in my pocket that made my kneebar fit perfectly!

KICKEN WINGS!! a bit too wide for double fists, a bit too narrow for a body squeeze... grade 8 my f*ken arse!!

os, putting draws on to tech a client how to lead

fell off the first move! 2nd shot

great 2nd half, shame about the start...got to the 2nd last move on onsight, bummer dude! then took an exciting whip when i did a bundy (climb past the anchors looking for a jug). ended up taking 4 shots!!

2nd shot, a lot easier when you know which holds to pick!

4 shots to stick the dyno, no way was i coming off after that!

2nd shot. pretty tough for the grade, especially when your bolt plates dont fit!

if you're gonna get beta on a reach-crux from a guy whose 6'3, at least bring climbing shoes with you!! (2nd shot)

solo. crux can be 18 or 25, depnding on your sequence...have fun!

as the guide says 'SCCOOP OF THE CENTURY'!!!

2nd shot, very difficult to onsight for people of normal stature

a little loose near the top- be careful

one move wonder, too short

2nd shot- no way is it 22!!

must've done the hardest possible sequence on the onsight attempt, because i pumped out pretty badly- but then 2nd shot it felt REALLY easy?!!

cruised it! a happy end to a long and controversial saga...

good fun moves through the roof, shit otherwise

2nd shot

a bit sandy but will clean up nicely. the best climb on middle wall so far! knock off a couple grades and all the stars if you are tall...

couldnt redpoint, pulled the rope,does wonders

can set up a bivy on most of the holds, the 3rd hold on the climb was way spoogey so i did a 'community service' and sat on the rope to brush it then came back down and got it 1st shot

i tried this AGES ago and thought it was quite hard for the grade, that was when i was fresh, and the climb became something i walked past every day i was at the glen for almost a year and thought ' yeh i'll do that one day'. after a 2 week climbing trip, at the end of a full day of hard labouring on tony's poperty, and with a belly full of beer, i cruised it first shot this time and thought it was soft! go figure?!

with a pack! i was a bit disappointed though because i couldnt go through the chimney thing with a pack on so i had to skirt it for a few metres onto the (harder) slab

cool!! a bit pumpy too. i got 1 move up before realising how badly i screwed up the sequence, rather than fix it and punch through I was lazy and jumped. 2nd shot

pretty stupid to solo it really, especially with other dudes there at the time, sorry guys

2nd shot. could have flashed!! but i got intimidated at the crux and didnt punch on...ah well a cool climb anyway

ive got a bit of history with this climb!! it was the first climb i ever tried outdoors (on lead!) and i must have had about 15 shots over the last year and a bit, finally got it today in the summer heat
