Ascents in Launceston (Cataract) Gorge by Tommy Krauss

Well prepared this time around but still no send. Back soon

Found it a fair bit easier this time around so V6 is probably fair?

Gave it V3 a couple of years back but looks like V4 is more appropriate. Fun little climb.

around 5 attempts at getting my butt off the ground but managed to slap the lip once on the best attempt. This will take a while and definitely feels harder than 9 at this stage.

Took me a little while to figure out how to do the first two moves/wraps but got it done in a short session, was great watching Ali send it second shot!

Had a bit of an epic on this one but great fun in the end. Shoes with a lot of rubber on the toe cap is definitely a good idea.

Great compression start to funky move to gain the lip with big and powerful finish. Full value problem!

Real fun face with lots of tension on good holds

Surprisingly big move but good fun

Great opening move, fun and tensiony

Very funky arete!

Great arete climbing! Maybe the best v7 in the gorge?!

A solid foot has broken off and this thing now feels way harder. Need to wait for Jordan Grant to come back and try it again haha

Finally ticked this thing, big day out with a great crew, felt really solid today. thanks to lots of encouragement I somehow managed to get the first move and went to the top.

Really fun little heel hook kind of problem, solid move too and somewhat not super easy too out, quite good!

Managed to get my butt off the ground but kept pinging off the stand start hold. Need to squeeze more fridges to get this done

From half sit with one hand on sloper under the boulder and one hand on the hang start starting hold

Great problem with classic moves on good edges and somewhat spicy top out! Still need to send the low start once skin has recovered!

Very classic double arete compression line, definitely worth jumping on and one of the best in the Gorge at this stage.

Arete fun times!

Great moves to delivate top section

Good little problem on the back of the boulder and quite the fun knee bar in there too

Great new addition to the bouldering in the gorge. Isaac smashed out the FA in no time!

Tried this a couple of times but fits into the hard hard category. First move

More arete fun times with a funky start which feels very difficult if done wrong.
