Ascents in Australia as Red point by Max Gordon

Deserves traffic

I couldn't have pushed it any closer to the red line. Last day, last shot. The closest I've ever been to falling but pulling through.

Went to battle with the slopey rail before the anchor. It made the sweet nectar of success all the more tasty!

What a gem!

A bit soft for an old Rod Young route.

The best part about this is when you climb into the section that gives the route its name, i know i was puckering.

I would have worm my rash vest if i knew how wet the holds would be. Not a great option in the direct sun.

You could probably tow away the cliff on nuts, but small cams seemed the obvious choice.

Next time you're standing below Pulling on Porcelain have a look up at this route and you'll notice it looks like a huge dick. Helm, shaft, and balls all there.

I couldn't do the big move from the rail to the jug on the lip so instead i used the small sloper edge on the lip with many toe hooks to stop the pendulum cut.

Punted the dyno first time round. Try again and then clean to the anchor. Fantastic overall experience on the best rock of the wall.

A strong fingery crux and a wee bit wandery. Save a little gas for a pumper finish.

First time I've broken a hold and fallen. Fear not, it definitely wasn't essential and i don't know why the hell i even touched it.

A quick lap at the end of the day... i think not! Fell trying to climb desperately straight up from the obvious spider pocket. Have fun putting your phalange in there.

So awesome.

Warning - Graphic language

This route almost comes in at number 1 for the most failed attempts ever, only coming in second to that fucking crime is art route. Anyways... clipping the chain felt more like "take that!... bitch" that the usual elation i get from a send hahaha

A lovely punchy little number.

Clipping the third bolt in the roof proved to be my crux. I ended up meat wrapping my calf on the block and things came together. A few sessions with your local chiropractor might be all the beta you need for the crux.

Wicked climbing! I found the trickiest part to be climbing past the rock window on the head wall. Decided on using a funky toe hook to be able to match the rail above.

I'm definitely apart of the majority who walked beneath this line the first time i went to Thomos and thought only super humans that climb like insects could do "that" route. 4 years of climbing and an unemployment status will do great things though! Glad i finally gave it a go. Maybe one day i'll climb like an insect.

Glad to have finally stopped donating skin to the crux of this route. Second shot but have tried in the past multiple times. A change of beta always does the trick.

Agree with the description that the crux is the third clip. Second shot. Don't mind the crushed ferns at the base, went for a victory roll down the hill

Gave that cheeky pocket a tickle a month ago and used my best effort to have my fingers freeze in the morning cold. First shot today. Incredible face climbing. mid-section climbs similar to that of Belgian tourists wall. Feels so spicy until you find a sequence through the first few bolts. Total classic!

Fell off at the crux attempting to use small slopey seam. Changed beta to a larger move. My leg fit so perfectly into the knee bar midway. I could climb this route again for sure.

Took an awkward whip with my heel behind the rope a fortnight ago. First shot putting on draws this morning. Felt cruisey today. Made unnecessary noise at the crux lolz

This is awesome! Felt nails hard on the first attempt and disheartening that i didn't even make it to the 24 section before a take. Back today felt so much easier knowing the moves and went down quickly. Best route I've done here so far, but then again i like the style.

Back when Jake put this up. Punchy crux down low and terrifying slopers in the palm of a pumped hand to finish is my memory of this route.

Tried this over a year ago and couldn't pull through the first move. Had a look again last week and then sent it first shot today.

Probably the most goes I've had at any one route. Changed beta from going out right to going straight up and sent it next shot.

Well worth the time and skin figuring out the start to awesome climbing. Second shot.
