Ascents as sport by Tommy Krauss

Conditions where spot on, early morning session

Got the thing on the fourth or so attempt with very odd and hard for the grade beta. Original beta sounds better but impossible for me to do for some reason. Surprisingly good route for no stars in the gorge.

Working Sean with Kris, great day out!

Funky arete climbing, great fun

Hard, hard stemming and weird stuff,...not my cup of tea but a fun cup of tea nevertheless, will be back with more skin and shoes as hard as bricks. Little working session on this thing with Kris until the rain hit hard, good times.

Good little route, a little overgrown on the left but definitely worth your time.

Thanks to Kris Penn for cleaning this little beast...it's quite hard hey, took a little while to get all the moves dialed in...will have to come back soon for the send but big kudos to the chaps who first ascented this climb back in 83' on a single carrot, that's nuts

Took a little while to work out the first move, dogged the rest

Got close to sending but managed to fluff the top and fall off in the easier moves

repeat, good fun!

Booyaa, finally managed to do the whole thing!

Fell off some more on the crux

Managed the crux from the ground but landed off-route after going to far left onto Spunky Monkey, lowered off again

Attempted an onsight for Glen, failed miserably and spent 10 minutes trying several different ways through the crux.

Another quick lap on it today after a good boulder session just down the hill

2nd attempt, good fun.

did it again, was good fun the first time, was more fun second time.

Best of the quarry in my opinion

Awesome location! Pretty exposed and heaps of fun. Couldn't do the mantle move just above the second bolt though,...more luck and better beta next time

repeat

repeat...on fixed rope up and down around 10 times till my toes went numb
