The traddiest of trad climbs. Took a fall figuring out the initial boulder problem and then took close to the top because I didn’t see an obvious pocket. Was quite breezy on the second go. Mega route all round

Curses! The Unsend! (Replete with red-carpet treatment and private helicopter ride to Melboune). Worst route at Araps?
Seriously, though; I have no words for the scale and magnitude and compassion of everyone who came together to pick me up from the lowest day of my life. I owe a lifetime of hugs and beers, it seems |

19 ~20 | ★★★ Morfydd — 2 attempts - with Jess C | 30m | |||||
Found this a pretty hard lead. I was quite confident before starting and pulled the first couple of moves off the ground with a spring in my step. Then came the crux and that confidence quickly evaporated looking for gear. Pumped out wiggling a bad wire under the flake, tried to sit on it and it promptly pulled, leaving me dangling a metre off the ground with the pressure of the onsight gone.
Second attempt I tried getting gear in the right crack - found a BD#4 wire, then stitched it up with a #.5 and #2 cam. Then I had a sit. Eventually found the right moves cranking on left hand side pulls (more useful than the nearby heavily chalked slopey lip) and gained the jug. From there I battled through, milking every ledge and grunting through every bulge. My hand was battered trying to jam the rattly crack with loose holds (eventually I crimped something inside that worked better). I was buffeted by the wind, copped some light rain, and put my hands and feet on wet holds. I dropped a biner while desperately trying to extend a #.4 while pumping out even though I had a jug. I used almost every piece of a double rack and had to get creative and back clean to build an anchor. But I stubbornly went from the crux to the top in one push. I can appreciate that this is a 19 redpoint for someone familiar with the beta or on second, but it felt nails to onsight while trying to figure out the pro and the moves on a windy bulge. Seems comparable to 'The Janicepts' tbh. |
