Ascents in Mt Beerwah

Overall fun slab climbing. The chimney was great. Highly recommend climbing the crack/flake as P7, which is a great addition. P6b has 2x BR as protection now.

Climb 9 of 51. A first ascent. Will investigate the possibility of a second pitch one day if we get time.

Climb 8 of 51. Quite an enjoyable, easy climb. Can recommend.

Climb 7 of 51. Fun climb, but the anchors need replacing. Hope to get around to doing that this season.

Aid is fucking hard. The potential for the first confirmed A5 route was always in the back of our minds with manky carrots and weird homemade bolt plates littering the route(???)

I think I may have doomed us by saying “those aren’t rain clouds, are they?” on the drive in.

They were.

Approach was okay, but god damn the descent down the tourist track was spicy. One handed bum sliding down wet rock while the other hand was holding my phone flashlight. (Why tf would I need to pack a head torch, we’re only starting at midday).

Seemed like we both found our rhythms in the final third of our jumaring/leading - so I guess next time (?) will be a bit smoother.

Highlight was throwing for a hook move (???!!?). Hit a radical black streak of slimy sludge with zero friction and realised only way up was to pull out the old sky hook. Realising that there was no chance it’d hold on the slime, I had to stand on a slippery wet carrot and throw out max span right to get a jug to hook on. Couldn’t weight it sideways so had to basically jump right to weight it. Talk about engaging.

Definitely type 2 fun. Might do again. Maybe.

Late start, benighted, and rained on.

Unprepared gumbies learn how to aid climb on old carrots. Pros of long BRs? They're super easy to clean because you can slide the plate off while the draw is still attached! Managed with 7 bolt plates and ~25 draws without needing to lower to back clean. Couple of easy skyhook moves get the heart rate up.

Rained the whole walk off, 1/2 head torches, unavoidable victory slide at the base of the mountain, KFC.

Takin Finn up an epic of a first multi! One to remember 🤘

nice to finish this little wall

early crimpy crux

Didn't think I'd be back on this route so soon, but Christian was super keen. Didn't take much convincing to do this classic route again. Good fun as always.
