Ascents of The Bends

One of the few climbs that dishes out some bicep pump! Awesome climb in and awesome location 🤙

Adds alot of value to the Achillies crux. Got the beta dialed, will be back for this one!

This thing is very cool. Such good sequences in the first half. And gets you pumped for Achilles crux!! Much fun.

Madness.

Didn't respect the muzz, got yolked. New high points on some busted limbs aaaaaaaaaa

And on the 4th attempt, muzz mountain was blessed with unrivaled easterly wind, Skyfire Shogun blasting through the speaker and God gift to man (the servo sandwich) was well digested. Pulled on and tweaked the knee, very anticlimactic.

Progressive high points all day. Down to a very comfy 1 sit. It goes

It goes... Soon

Busy day on the ledge with some general shenanigans. All the moves locked in. Time to commit to some precarious clipping positions and move really really fast.

Felt pretty solid on this one. Nice to hit the business end of Achilles with far different beta from the old send of the first summy caves proj. Bailed off early because thought it was rigged to the top... I was wrong. Definitely a goer

Whilst on Seed Crystal I figured out the moved on this into Achilles. Cool climbing, but Seed Crystal is the main line imo.

Such a fitting name, it was a fight all the way to the chains. Even more exposed and intense than Achilles! Another must do route if you live in the South East.

If you live in SEQ you must try this route, it's not negotiable.

Great movement off belay to super commiting throw.
