5.11b | ★★★ The Freeblast (1st 10 of Salathe) | 400m | ||||
A classic. Amazing finger locking in pin scars! To Triangle Ledge. New life goal - freeing the Salathe one day. Two falls on the crux pitch

This thing is starting to feel conceivable now. I don't think I will have time for it to go on this visit to Australia but I'll return and project it properly in a few years. Have settled on (Mis)Information - the left-to-right version. Duncan is trying for a free ascent of the original. Think it would go at 27 or soft 28. Will focus on Hotwired for now though as that will go soon.

Duncan thinks this is "at least 28 maybe 29 or even 30". I don't know. Seems like it's about 2 grades above what I've red pointed before. Definitely the hardest stone I think I've touched. Gave three cam to cam burns on the first day but then seemed to have nothing in the tank on day 2. Think my strategy will be to get on this then take rest days on Hotwired and other projects.

True Grit | 30m | |||||
The likelihood of this going free seems negligible but maybe possible. There are limited places for fingers in the first few metres but there are feet so maybe (just maybe). It would be very hard though - maybe gr32/5.14a. And heady. It also needs a solid clean as the upper crack is completely vegetated (difficult to guess how thin it is and if it's possible there)

This route is fucking nails. Aided quite a few sections probably only pulling off a handful of .11a moves on lead the entire day lol. Flaring razor-thin pin-scars - not a gimme for the fat-fingered. I would recommend taking at least #5 and #6 and possibly doubles of each. You could even leave the #4 at home. Fun tension-traversing into the headwall cracks - looking forward to sending this fucker this season with a few different partners.

Holy shit balls. Fucking terrifying. First two pitches only. Attempted hammerless ascent. Don't try this at home.

Amazing route following a gorgeous line. Led the fifth and seventh pitches. Topped out in a slushy snowstorm and proper winter conditions. Next on the cards Ozy Direct.
