Ascents in Northern Tablelands as Pink point

Repeat for the paparazzi. Did something weird at the top and missed a hold and did a funky rockover to finish

Had one flash pumpy burn, figured out the start which ended up being the quite straight forward and exactly how I originally thought it would go. Had a second hang at the 3rd bolt which is probably the true crux. Clean second go. The end feels spicy but you just keep moving and its totally fine.

Clean on top rope first go, then took maybe 4 goes to get it clean on lead. Everything is subtle, every try I used different holds and took a while to settle on a sequence

Warmup

Got it clean 3rd go, worked out so high step beta for the second high crux

First go today

Fresh body, turned up late when Michael had just sent and did it clean first go

Great route with interesting crux, the top section needs more cleaning and wigged me out and I finished up to the right instead

Flowey

This thing is gold! I remeber looking up at it 5 or 6 years ago thinking I should get on it one day....that day finally arrived. Sorted the crux on my first shot and had enough juice to get through it on my second. Great route Michael!

YUS! 3 goes, first was typical flash pump first route of the day. Second was a pretty close one hang. Three is a charm! It is still winter but the sundeck was cooking

Short and lovely. As we were packing up my new downie blew into the water and Simon was a champ and went for a brisk swim. Walk out was hard, slow, cramped up a lot

Lovely rock, perfect first lead for Simon. If only this went for 5 pitches

Second go did it almost pure layback and much easier. A couple jams at the roof to rest, burned through the second layback section and got a no hands rest in the possum hole. Such a nice route

A mix of slab and jams from tips to fists, nice finish to glory jug

Real cool little line. Was expecting a fight but flashed it and felt solid all the way

Pretty cruisy, crack is a little gravelly

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! Couldn't be bothered cleaning each attempt so we'll settle for the ol pink point. With a few more bodies on this route it'll clean up very nice.

After a beautiful walk in over rolling hills, two tree rappels, an adrenaline inspiring run-out, and a walk home in the dark, today was a certified epic!

Broke in the new purple

A sneaky 3 hour gorge trip before school pickup. Slowly chipped away over ~5 attempts. Benji worked it and sent it quite smoothly. I butchered it, did the crux and then fell off and got rope burn on my elbow. Next go I sent it despite butchering it even more. I didn't have a single solid jam just pure desperate levitation grovel. Grade is definitely harder than Savage Amusement (supposedly 22), Prime Cut 20, Luce 21. It's not 23, but I think 22 isn't unreasonable. Feels maybe on par with Pub Grubs at 3rd breakaway.

A cracking good route.

Such a nice consistent climb

Felt a bit anxious but went down. Did a little pop at the crux but caught it and kept going

Led it with a sag a meter from the top. Clean second go
