Fri 3rd May 2019 - Upper Gara Gorge
Cascade boulders Moonscape area
V4 Sloper rail Boulder 1m Classic
Ben Vincent
This thing is nails. Not sure about V4 but I wouldn't know because I never saw the top. Winter maybe

 
V5 In plain sight SDS Boulder 4m Classic
Ben Vincent
Very cool. Initially I couldn't get established on the R hand as I was too low. Then I found a hidden undercling much lower which worked. Yep, feet are marginal but they work. Cool find Tim!

 
V1 V3 Erudite coprolite Boulder 3m Very Good
Ben Vincent
Noice!

 
V4 V3 Gravitational lock Boulder 2m Good
Ben Vincent
Got it on the first shot but yep, marginal holds. Winter might make things seem larger

 
VB Cracktacular Boulder 3m Average
Ben Vincent
Only just worth clearing out all the debris (and probably not dry at the base too often).

 
V0 Reverso Boulder 3m Good
Ben Vincent
Quite liked this one.

 
V3 Half Moon Boulder 3m Good
Ben Vincent
It's all there, another enjoyable find.

 
V3 Moonrise Boulder 3m Good
Ben Vincent
Harder than it initially seems and quite a good line.

 
V5 The Landing Zone Boulder 3m Very Good
Ben Vincent
Quality! A shame there aren't a few more moves (maybe someone will spy a sit start...).

 
V3 V2 Unlatched Lockout Leg Boulder 3m Very Good
Ben Vincent
The Landing Zone keeps on delivering. The move up & R gets the heart going but it's all there.

 
V3 Gollum Pit Layback Boulder Good
Ben Vincent
May be a little easier if you bring in the mid-height sloper on the adjacent boulder. Nice layback though.

Cascade boulders Moonscape area
V5 In plain sight SDS Boulder 4m
Tim Nicholson
I've listed the sit separately as I think the stand is a more logical line. I appreciate the grade of the sit will vary depending how many pads you start off. I went two folded pads, which allowed me to just reach the right hand sloper. Any lower and I had no right hand at all. Ground level is probs 40cm below the bottom of the boulder, so really it's like starting off one unfolded pad. It all seemed to come down to getting the right toe to stay on. Not sure about the grade, it was my fourth day on today, so it could be V0 for all I know.

Cascade boulders Moonscape area
V4 In plain sight Boulder 4m Very Good
Tim Nicholson
Surely someone's done this before? It's awesome, such good moves. Really not sure how to grade this one so V4 may be off. The feet are pretty poo and the mantle feels like hugging a pool table while trying to climb onto it. Love it!

 
V4 V3 Gravitational lock Boulder 2m Very Good
Tim Nicholson
2nd try. Felt like I was at Castle Hill for a minute there. Fun prob with a couple of delicate foot moves. If it was a metre higher it would be an absolute classic

A quick last tick before deciding it was too hot and opting to swim instead.

Powerful. A few tries. Felt a little sore in my shoulder after and probably wouldn't have tried it again if I hadn't got it.

I've waited ages for the water to be low enough, was easier than expected, second go

 
V2 Periscope (Wet arete) - with Thor Boulder 3m
Brendan Heywood
Too much water under this, but also had a go without a pad anyway and then bailed. Needs more cleaning. Looks like a single move

V5 50 calories in 50 seconds - with Nathan H. Boulder 3m Very Good
Brendan Heywood
Almost gave up after a few goes. Arm bars and like a cup jam / cam from my finger tips to my wrist and much wrestling. Took it out of me

 
V2 No big deal - with Nathan H. Boulder 4m Classic
Brendan Heywood
Scouted and cleaned it from the top for the first time and it looked so hard and scary from the top looking down. But it's a pure gem and quite easy

 
V2 Wreath - with Nathan H. Boulder 2m Very Good
Brendan Heywood
Took 2 shots, a surprisingly nice problem, very castle hill-esque

 
V1 Remembrance - with Nathan H. Boulder 2m Very Good

Ballsed up my first attempt in my sneakers so had to shoe up, got it first proper go.

Cascade boulders Above the private sector
V4 Tufa fatu Boulder 3m Classic
Brendan Heywood
Awesome new problem on a block I've walked past so many times. Spent probably 10 minutes collecting rocks and logs to nest under the pads. Second proper go I pulled off what I thought would be a critical crimp, but another few goes unlocked a new sequence.

 
Wed 31st Oct 2018 - Upper Gara Gorge
Cascade boulders Evan Stone area
V5 Evan Stone Boulder 4m Classic
Brendan Heywood
Weird that I haven't logged this, done it a whole bunch of times. Got back there today to see how bad the flood debris was. Took about half an hour to move all of the sticks out and flatten it into a nest for the pads. It's probably a better and softer fall zone now than before. And then re-sent it just to make sure. Took maybe 5 shots

V1 French perineum - with Ben Vincent Boulder 2m
Brendan Heywood
So coarse for my delicate keyboard fingers

If anyone wants to know the name history, year ago when this first got done I was with a french couple. I went through the water tunnel head first and come out just as the dude was there bending over putting his swimmers on.

 
V5 Tilted - with Ben Vincent Boulder 3m Classic
Brendan Heywood
This thing is fantastic, so glad I finally got on this after looking at it so many times. The fall potential is scary but not that bad, spotter is critical. Previously I'd thought it was way hard but it was just perfectly nicely hard. Had maybe a dozen shot. Did the stand start maybe 2nd or 3rd go, and then got the sit start first try but just couldn't link it all for ages.

 
V2 Bens wet route - with Ben Vincent Boulder 3m

Ben did this a much more difficult way, sketchy moves over the water. I just pulled on then pounced for the top.
