Ascents in Shooting Star Block by Brendan Heywood

First go today

This thing is cool and hard. Also would have some variant finishes out left which look cooler and harder

Got the sit start, keen to tick this fresh and with a pad

Nice little layback. Used the big foot out right, should eliminate that next time. Might also be a caving squeeze under the whole boulder to check out after cleaning out the dead black berries

Had a good working go, and then I was pretty confidant I could get it, then had 3 frustrating burns all getting through the crux statically and then messing up the last move to the glory jug. Next time when I'm fresh

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

First go wasn't sure where to pop to the letter box, got it second go. A mist of fine bugs

Utterly frothing on this, I cannot understand how such an obvious and high quality line has been unsent all these years. The more I scrubbed the more froth was exposed. Thought it would go fairly easy but it's put up quite a fight. Each move gets progressively harder. Great holds, nothing is tweaky or sharp. I did find some tat at the base so I don't think we were the first to try it but I doubt it's been sent. Probably a dozen attempts, able to get to the face rail and juiceless for the dyno. The right finish is a hard mantle, the left finish ads a few great moves and looks more doable.

Bouldered on a driftwood platform after a flood which was then later washed away

Done this a few times back in the day
