True Grit Aid 30m Mon 31st Oct 2016
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)

28 17 M3 Information Aid 40m Sun 27th Nov 2016
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.

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

Ozymandias Original Aid 270m Fri 2nd Aug 2013
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.

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.

5.11b The Freeblast (1st 10 of Salathe) Aid 400m Mon 16th Oct 2017
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
