What a fight! Almost gave up on the chimney-like section, thanks to the belayer who encouraged me to push through. Having 3-ple rack of 0.4 to #1 cams did help. And used 2 of #3 at the end.

18 | ★★★ Caligula - with Dmitry Linkov | 60m | Mount Buffalo | Sun 5th Nov 2023 | ||||
What a battle! Could not jam for the first 15ish meters because too wide for my hands. Had to shuffle #4 because was told I would need it at the top. Full on offwidth technique took a lot from me so I wanted to bail at least twice. Glad took 4 number #3. After the crack becomes smaller it is really pleasant. Put #0.75 before laybacking across the roof and don't think you need more to protect this move. However, could not find any good gear after the roof. Slinged a bush and put some dodgy cam but don't think It would take a fall
probably next time try to find some nut placement or take #5 or #6 and carry it all the way to the top?
Would like to od it in better style next time.

18 | ★★★ Plume | 25m | Frog Buttress | ★★★ Classic | Mon 11th Jul 2022 | |||

What an amazing climb! I could do it every day if not the tricky start (bouldery free solo) to the first ledge. Next is a bit of a thought provoking move just a couple of meters above the ledge and after that cruisy double jamming almost to the end of the climb. Could be as good as Infinity if not the start.

Did it clean from the first go but can't call it onsight because got beta on how to negotiate the crux from my friend. Amazing climb! There is a bit of a right sequence to get out of the box. The next bulge is much easier. Great pro and there is a sling on the top you can belay and rap down from.

Great climb! Tricky traverse but it is not the crux. Delicate moves after you passed the roof and not much good gear after you placed 2 good pieces after the roof. Tope roped it about 2 years ago but could not remember a thing so it was like an onsight for me

My first experience with such an abrasive granite. Got my foot really stuck several times applying my "normal" jamming techniques. I think i almost destroyed my quite new TC Pros. High ankle shoes or ankle taping is the must, even on the exit! Very adventurous and hard for the grade. The last pitch was the most difficult because you can easily loose the right way and start doing silly things)). The exit is tricky too.
