Ascents in Cascade boulders having Beta

Fark this was hard

I remember being freaked out watching Ben on this but this time it just seemed like no big deal looking up at it. You absolutely do not want to fall but it might even be a V0.

Super happy with how I re-sent this, very smooth and controlled didn't struggle or grovel at all. All in the hips

Felt pretty hard getting back on this, took long breaks to save skin and made each go count. Got it maybe 3rd or 4th try

Second go, not sure I'll ever get sick of it

Hiking through. Nice foot jam possible

Hiking through, need to come back in winter

Barely managed to establish, those crimps are sllllllick

Took a few attempts to even establish, but ended up feeling really close! Hopefully next time!

Man this feels HARD.

Needed a good clean, but a pretty sweet little romp out of the cave.

Rad! Will have to come back for the SDS!

Pulled on and did the crux move, got to the rail and kinda lost steam. Very tired after the last 2 days in the gorge

Covered in pine needles, started to sprinkle

I think the problem should be more around the V5 range personally, but definitely some pretty neat and fairly tricky climbing.

I honestly think this could be one of if not the most sandbagged problem in all of Australia. Its definitely pretty fun to figure out though.

A bit of a banger one move wonder. I think the grade is debateable depending on your dimensions, but otherwise its definitely a neat little climb.

Nothing like an exposed, proud highball on slick granite to get you going.

Not sure where to start hands. Used a heel hook on the crescent shaped crimp (about chest height)and tried to start with R hand also on this crimp and L hand pressing into a different crimp. This seems doable but I was unsuccessful. Was successful when I used the crimp above my head for my R hand.

So close on the first attempt, foot plinged and dabbed hard. Enjoyeable! Repeated twice for good luck and knowing I couldn’t find anything more in my remaining 20 minute window to climb.

Nearly slipped to my demise post mantle 😂

Great Dyno off nice crimps and nothing for feet. Lovely little Dyno.

Second day on so good problem for the skin. Thanks Brandon for the beta.

Not my style so feels very hard for the grade but if powerful sloper slapping is your thing then maybe not as hard. Also “poor feet” understatement of the century 😂 Quality rock and quality problem!

Re-ticked again first time, super hot, keen to get back to the shade

Super smooth rock, very cool

Fuaaaken amazing roof crack. Stoked to send it. Really hard to grade feels desperate and impossible to start with but with very specific jams and body position is goes very smooth so idk 5/6?

Another 5-10 goes, lots of micro beta improvements and can just tickle the salmon with left hand into the high jam but still not quite into the good spot.

got a couple of laps in on this number under headlamp in the dark. Some frogs and a massive tape worm snapping at small insects on the water surface kept us entertained inbetween shots.

All the overhanging, off-witdth crack training you need. Such a burly struggle from the sit start. Reached my high point again above the lip but couldn't get my feet on anything useful to finish....another heartbreak

Bailed and did the soft exit so doesn’t count 😂

Surprised to grovel my way up this again. Love a good grovel.

Seemed to go much easier this session than I remember.

a fun tricksy number

Fun times. A total Skippy thing to do.

So much effort on the first few attempts but not sot bad when you work it out.

Pretty happy with the attempt. Very cool problem with some nice jams 👌.

Just jumped for the jug at the top 🤣. Will have to put in a proper attempt next time.

V2 if tall.

Did this a couple times in different ways and its nice to finish traversing left to the dyno jug finish on landing zone

YUS! I've tried this a few times and never really been able to pull on. Gotta really pretend the crimps are good and the landing jug is perfect
