Ascents in North Grampians having Beta

So good. So psyched.

fried fingers

Very hard.

sections

This thing is absolutely unreal. Crazy cool line and suits my style - need to come back with stronger left hand.

Yep it's hard lol

1/5 done

One of the best lines out there! Climbed it in the worst conditions. Soaking wet top out and cold, humid weather. Relieved to finish it. Not so bad once you figure out how to hold the pocket for the jump move.

Soft

Couple tries. Fit my style perfectly. Compression and a nice pinch. Psyched to climb this classic line.

Soft

Hate that heel hook at the end. Linkups in the cave in the rain! Yay!

Ammagamma! Total disbelief topping out. Iconic, incredible, and always going to be one of the especially special ones for me. So cool!

First time trying the moves. Couldn't do the first crux on the first crimpy rail, and the second crux matching the gaston (where people do knee bars)

Wow! Got the first crimpy rail crux now....pretty far from linking anything or getting any of the crux crux (matching slopey rail from RH pockets) but its lovely to see progress !

Wow, some realy cool moves at the start and the feet first moves into the meat of the problem are so cool! Definitely on my long-term project list!

My god! The middle section of this thing is so good! Hello, long term proj!

Radical

a delicate little number. funky moves spinning round in the roof

Hard...right slopey pinch/crimp is bloody terrible.. next time!

The fuck is this and why does it go

Another great one on the project wall.

Soft

wall gets sun pretty early in the day...definitely a night session boulder

Close. Will go next session.

This is wildly cool, happy to feel strong on the moves, crux catch remains untouched unsurprisingly

Astronomically psyched to finish this one up. I think 7 sessions in the end with the final one being a mega 3 hour night session. Used techy/shoe dependent heel beta which probably makes it low end for the grade. Regardless of grade though, so so pleased to top out one of the lines on this wall !!!

FA

Very cool movement. First 12 but it's probably soft. With a knee pad I think it'd be more like 11. Whatever the cave is sick! The echo through the amphitheater is best I've ever heard!

just playing for the photos- not really a 'dog' as i didnt do all the moves. at the risk of sounding like a knobhead, this problem actually seems very doable for down the track...

All moves bar one just after the crux... amazing line

#2go punted flash. did the pinch move, traversed into amniotic world then had no idea what to do and plummeted off. devastated. did it 5 min later. absolute classic boulder. holy shit snacks the gramps is amazing

Rad movement problem

Need longer arms! Can reach the sidepull but didn't generate much force off of it. Might be better on a colder day with more skin.

I'd have called it syphon. 1 session. Tasty movement, spicy finish.

Such cool moves! Suited me to a T. Touch soft I reckon.

Bloody long move!

Heinously reachy for me. Not the best climbing in the area, but with all the rain, at least it's climbing.

Hard

Nemesis heel hook move.

Climbs like a route. Committing jump to a jug way off the deck. I love these type of climbs!

Power method. Really unique movement and holds.

Awesome line. Questionable grade

fun warm up on the first few moves for LAH..sharp mono though

Nails for me but a good project. Excited to work and learn from this one over time.

Worked out some more sections although the crux move for me hasn't yielded yet. Many more sessions to go

Pretty fun move! Pretty big too!

Injured my lumbrical on this a few years ago, nice to finally come back and get it done!

Just the bestest thing ever. Who'd a thunk falling off on jugs was the done thing. The battle raged. In the end a belly full of pizza and beer was just what the doctor ordered. 7 goes

First go!! Very fine climbing indeed. Didn't think I'd give it a go. But got to the top of snake flake and thought, why the hell not. Onsighted SF+extension/traverse into the hoofer rest on GT. Then hoped Alzheimer's hadn't kicked in yet and I could still remember the top. This is a definite must do if you're keen on the GT experience but can't do the reaches!! Great way to finish my first trip down here =)

Even better than cave man I think. Soft ten but hard at nine?

great line, great fun.
