Ascents of After Midnight

Stoked! Almost dropped it when my foot slipped and for a second I forgot one of the non-cruxy sections. Super cool route with really nice flow!

Probably one of the best settings for a 50m arete, don't forget to enjoy the view!

Adrian flash-sighted Pleasant Screams.

Really good, mental route

Couldn’t get through the crux so only tried 60% of the route. Fantastic. It just keeps going haha.

Such an incredible line, and it keeps going up into the heavens. Lots of good rests, delicate and with committing moves high above bolts. This was my third attempt, with my first one back in 2017!

So glad I didn't drop this right at the end throwing the most awkward and desperate heels to mantle. A marathon, but bloody lovely.

Way way up there. big props to angus smith for the gruelling onsight effort.

You’re sure climbing for a while

first ever pitch in Tassie. This blew my mind and I only experienced 2/3's of it. retreated due to rain and cold

Sick line!!

Foot popped at crux

Wore long pants today and it went! What a route! Definitely a bipolar send, I fucking hated this thing so much the first day on, now I think it's the best route ever.

Forgot to wear pants so only had 1 go before I got too cold, managed to move the highpoint 0.5m higher, if I get another 0.5m higher next time I'll be in the nohands rest

One of my favourite climbs I’ve ever tried and by far the hardest insight I’ve done, pretty phat

Just scraped through

1 go before the rain, it's growing on me

Decent climbing, more mentally challenging than physical. 4x 22s in a row

Still cant believe this.. A dude called marco rolled into longlea just after i had gone to bed with free bread from a bin dive. I heard everyone collecting bread so i came out and collected some myself and got talking to the bread man and turned out he was happy to be our 4th for tomorrow. After flaming out on nefarious (22) for the warmup, i didnt know if id be able to dog up after midnight which i was so keen to experience. I made a very empty agreement with jim that id try onsight, so i took my rests and tried to contain my everpresent bumbliness and assume a sport climber psyche. Professional, smooth, strong. After about 7 moments of being sure i was fucked and a footslip that i was very lucky to hold onto, i pulled through the top of the crux, absolutely limited out and trembling. 15min rest on the no-hands, caught a fly, continued shakily through the final 4 bolts, id never felt send pressure like this before, downclimbed everything till i was sure i wouldnt drop, and pulled the final mantle, gave a big hoot out towards the general hobart direction, then came down and felt like a legend for a couple minutes. Fuck 50m aretes are cool and fuck rock climbings cool. Did a victory lap on neon god (first pitch only, my ego is still somewhat in check) before the clouds consumed us. Frothys at longlea pub are on me tonight. Fucken yeasss.

Pretty cool climbing except for the heinously crimpy crux, after 4 pulley injuries still not a fan of crimps but keen to get back on this after some rest days

Excellent climbing winding around the arete. Super good.
