Ascents in Blue Mountains by Carl Walsh having trad-cpr or ascent-date

SO STOKED!! Been thinking about this climb since the last time I was in the mountains. Used a different beta for the crux and it felt really good when it went. All up 1 toppy and 4 redpoint attempts for my first send at the grade

Gets a star for pants shittery, not sure if just scary but felt hard at 18

Might be a bit sandbagged or have lost a couple holds from the break, bit chossy. Would bring a rack of wires next time instead of just cams (1-3)

First time on it. So psyched to come back! Slightly awkward size for me at baggy fingers but can’t get a ring lock. Excellent gear, took a decent whip going for the viccy hold. Next time!!

Got lost a few times, kinda confusing and very chossy at the top

Woohoo first shot on lead! Also in the eternity shirt!

Short and sweet, did again barefoot for fun

Mossy

Decent first pitch. Scary chossy second pitch. Was already tired from Darkball, pulled on gear through the roof. Got into a fight with a .3 cam. Probably a bit out of my league but definitely an adventure.

Size 4 cam, sling and blue big bro. Just wanted to use the bro which was actually pretty bomber

Went the hard way I think

Lots of good gear

Did something near this but didn’t look at the guide and wandered up the ridge. Mixed rock quality but super cool day out. Some epic pitches and some absolutely terrifying rumours.

Absolutely epic! Sat once, shoulda pushed through.

Super cruisey and fun

Great chimney for first two pitches, felt hard. Ninja linked the third pitch into the top of Mirrorball and got to lunch ledge in one 50ish metre pitch.

Enjoyable width, would be nicer if we had more big stuff
