Ascents as sport by lucky chance

same deal a bit of rain but the holds mostly kept dry

yeh classy perfect for ropesoloing, first go, stayed dry despite rain, winning!!

cool little boulder problem at the start then funky arete-ness up the top!! a Super Interesting Climb was really cool, my favourite of the day

first time at Werribee, and first climb i did! was mega!! onsight, ropesolo etc etc...

Awesome!... a bit of rain so the slab moves were abit slippy, but otherwise the route stayed dry and it was sweet onsight ropesolo

Yeh it was good..

Well I didn't REALLY do this route.. I started on it then veered left at half height onto the slab side of the arête rather than going right. I was ropesoloing off the anchor so it didn't matter, but even so the bolts are there to do it this way at a pleasant grade 21.

SO precarious, but still so easy if u just relax... Which is quite hard

So I did these with a rope first, and then once I became comfortable with the style they require, I free-soloed them

You can learn the secrets of the Whole Universe thru a successfully good slab climb!.. And this it Was, and this I Did

As awesome as it's neighbour, and just as enlightening.. Once second your holding on for dear life, the next you realise that you don't even NEED your hands

It looks SO so easy... But yet there I was holding on Way more than I had to!.. But stellar none the less

MEGA SUPER GOOD :p

MEGA SUPER GOOD :p

Super good route.. They ALL are!!!

Monkey Free Solo!!! his first

I chose not to bring my climbing shoes, whilst Chris chose not to bring his chalk.. His proved the more challenging. oh, and we both chose not to bring a topo, which turned out to be a fair choice :p

quite the ascent in cyclonic winds. turns out wind makes climbing scary! rope management was the crux. to be fair I didnt do the WHOLE climb, my rope only reached down to the 2nd pitch so i had to start there. still a gem and a fun day out, if not engaging...

Friction slabbing perfection looks an easy dawdle from the ground.. its not. fell off on my first go so came back down with a broom, a laundry brush, my sporty rock-boots, chalk and a quck wit & sent it! HEAPS better than it looks, and in classic slabbing style if your a master technician it really might be grade 19, but for everyone else its Nails...

probably one of very few ascents... easy climbing up the face until the top, then theres a hard little bit with the mantle being the crux. super cool. had to place a dynabolt afew metres back from the edge to be able to do this one.

maybe a solo, but more like a half draw clipping solo, coz I'd clip the draw then climb above it & unclip it then climb to the next one to do it again & again till I was at the top. didnt mean on soloing it, just wasnt worth not...

2nd 1st, led 2nd, 2nd last... first pitch was for sure the crux. 2nd pitch was about 21 and last pitch was grade 8 at best. but all round, awesome climb!

really techy, I'd say you might need to be a 24 climber to find it grade 20, but super enjoyable

last climb of the day, was quite worn out by this stage & it looked heaps easy, it wasnt. fell off and did it next go

so I went left at the top where I should've gone right.. following the chalk. pulled the lip, no anchors just yet, continued climbing up & right and saw the bolts go up the slab so followed them along all the way to the top.. turns out I linked this climb into 'shock'. a pearl...

3rd shot. nice crux sequence, climbs well, kinda squeezed in there though, but still worth climbing for sure

2nd go. good sequences

hehe, a FUN climb, and one for the memories...

heaps harder than it was 16 years ago, well, for me...

considering its been 15 years since I've last done it I'm considering this a flash

for old times sake...

ahhh the memories...

didnt do the nails hard direct boulder, instead did the achievable right hand boulder to start..

this is my best guess at which one I did..

at the 3rd bolt on the onsight I had 2 armfuls of slack out for the clip in a difficult position with a small footer.. the footer snapped, off I came, down I went, along long way, inbetween the tree & the rocks to stop with my ass a foot off the ground giggling from the narrowest of margins with which I escaped unscathed!! perfect.. went up again, came off the crux, went up again & did it

so I rapped down the top pitch sussing out all the moves as I went, climbed it well enough hang-dogging the whole time up to a crux,worked it out, climbed through it (thinking oh man that was super hard I'm sure its the crux...) it Wasnt! the next bit proves even harder and I'm not even able to make the moves.. NAILS! hats off to anyone who's climbed it

Mega! took a massive fall on the initial section, due mainly to the inherent rope stretch when your climbing at the end of a full 60m of rope.. came back down to the start and smashed it! for sure the 24 pitch is the crux, either that or I just fluked guessing where the holds were on the 2nd pitch. full pump, did it in 1

wells, to start with I'd completely mis-informed myself about this route Epic to access the anchor (for a ropesolo), did some extreme abseiling techniques buts got there and it was Awesome.. did it in 1 pitch as is common with me, recommended.

A good excursion down memory lane had I the ability to remember.. I recall the idea of having done it a million times before, but cant actually remember any occasion, so flash it is!

in the sweltering conditions I climbed it easier than war-babies, jules made it halfway putting the draws on

Baking hot in the sun, the holds felt like soap! so took me 2 goes... but ace
