Ascents as Pink point by Thomas Gissing

Really good, despite the bouldery start.

Caught the slot after the big throw with the skin of my chinny chin chin.

5 min rest and just went again. Would've been well stroppy if I fell again.

Rock is pretty crapola, but the movement is good. Would be a rough one for the shorties - especially having to jump for the jug at the first.

Had the moves right and went through it fairly easily. Climbed like a spud on the top jugs after being surprised I was there on the second go.

Really happy with this one. Love this old-school style face climbing.

Used different beta at the top. Much easier. Super gymnastic and pretty reachy, but great for the style and length.

Doneskis! Thought it was a long shot given it was burn 3, but made it through. Climbed very quickly through to the swing, then rested briefly, before getting through the swing and into the double knee bar rest. Took a proper recovery, then to the end without too much drama.

First 26. Even better, I legitimately got better at climbing by going through the process of working it. Happy days. Fantastic route, with some super speccy moves.

Tried the start until I got through it (4 goes?), then to the top. Bit of a fight, but hard to fall off after that with the plethora of kneebar options.

Great day at the crag with some grade A banter from an eclectic crew.

Warm up.

Did it as the warm up this morning. Getting Coolum fit evidently.

Much nicer route than how I'd previously heard it described.

First time I've properly rested on a route and got it back - very happy on that front.

Really enjoyed this route - feels substantially longer and more of a journey than the other stuff at Lower. Just Monkey Magic and the 27 left to do.

Packs a punch for 10 moves. Enjoyed it.

15 moves on this one. Basically 2 boulder problems split by a nice shake on the slot - never pulled so hard on a 23.

Felt pretty casual knowing the beta and being warmed up.

Getting gear back for a friend. This route is really tops. It's like 3 chapters of climbing rolled into 1. The final corner felt so much less tricky than I remember.

Lu sent second shot! So proud.

Found myself at the shake out before the crux before I knew what had happened. Little pep talk and pretty smooth through to the end. 4 tie ins over the last 2 weeks, and a bolt to bolt about 9 months back. Two 25's in 7 days! Yippee!

There seems to be RH and LH variant beta now without the jug that fell out, both still go at 25, but adds a bit of pump and a less solid clip.

Found some way more fun, heel hook beta that makes it more direct than what I used to do. Like it more that way.

Lu sent second try - great effort.

This is one of the best beginner leads going around. Secure climbing on jugs, on steep enough ground that falls are perfectly safe. Shame about the carrot bolts.

Following Lu's leads, cleaning the top rope we put up for a friend.

This has a pretty go-ey move on it - 17 for me. Lu did a great job onsighting everything.

3rd tie in. Not a big fight in the end, but definitely needed the beta assistance on the fly from Kurt.

First 25 - about time! Awesome first day at Flinders.

Warm up. Not super casual with the current lack of route fitness.

As always, feels easy when it happens. Fantastic, technical climb.

Up after Lu's onsight - woo! Nice climb up a cool feature. Maybe a bit soft for 18 but it's pretty steep.

Warm down. Skin wrecked and a split tip - this is nice though. Better warmup than the 15 imo.

2nd RP burn. Bottom went well, forgot foot sequence at the top but got through it. First 24. Big mental breakthrough I think. Stoked! Time for more sending!

Cleaning.

Thought we were on Lemur's Femur. Oops.

Crux moves through bulge are not trivial. Tricky to read.

Cleaning for Taz and Kynon.

Cleaning Lu's gear.

Cleaning anchors after Lu's awesome lead. Olly had a go on top rope too. Tricky move for a 15 down low.

Up to top belay juniors and set up a rap. Good fun. Not so much the better exposure that this part of the cliff has.

After Nick's lead to clean. Found better beta for the move above the steep stuff.

Warm up. Got through the tricky move at the bottom quite comfortably after seeing the other lads on it.

Got through tricky start and ledge rest gave me enough to get it.

Pretty similar to first climb. Really pumped on this and it was a fight to get the send. Few distinct climbing styles/holds on this. Love pockets at the top.

Got it second try. Cool climb!

Sent as the thunder and lightning were starting. Pretty rad, despite climbing pretty sloppy.

Got it. Not super stoked on this climb though.

Got the send as a warmup. Beautiful route. Key to overcome sustained sections was bridging and strategic rests.

Breezy second time through.

Up again to clean.

Sent after Simon utilised balls of steel to clip first draw.
