Really good and a little frightening. Classic, best line on the cliff (?) .

Woooooo! Dude, absolutely classic. Bomber rock, number of different styles of climbing in the one route, crazy top out, loved it. Tell ya what I had to fight for it though, heel hook popped on the bulge crux and had to squeeze with all my might to stay on, spicy. Gear: #4, #0.75, 2x#0.5, 2x long extenders and three draws 🤙

21 Easy | ★★ Capstone Project - with Simon Porter, Ben Vincent | 15m, 3 | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Fri 24th Nov 2023 | ||||
Lots of mental rehearsal. Once you commit and get into it it’s not too bad, holds are pretty juggy and the mantle is probably technically the crux.

Good to get back on this after a decent break. Hung around under the crux and thought about it too much before finishing it. Ample ways to attack the crux, my second shot was clean.

Missed out on the onsight, locks up high were a super awkward size for me. Taped up the fingers and got it second go though 👍

First shot involed mining through the dead trees at the top. There is no suitable anchor at the top besides trees well back. (maybe consider lower offs as this route is proper classic).
Second shot involved me pulling the crux then rather than using a leading heel hook I chose to use a leading sheniqua ( my butt) to shuffle onto the ledge. Turns out that lichen is quite slippery and I started sliding off upside down to my horror. Managed to recover though ahaha |

22 | ★★ The Art of Misdirection - with Volodymyr K, Simon Porter | 15m, 6 | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th Nov 2023 | ||||
Send! Stoke is high. Executed the bouldery first section perfectly in 2 mins. Then took me around 6 tentative goes up and down over 25 mins to get comfortable with the 5th clip and then slapped and thrutched my way to freedom. It did not climb the way I'd visualized.

After a few failed starts I tried something new and got going. A really surprising route that has a bit of everything. Classic find Skippy!
