Ascents in Central Tablelands as Red point by Scott Bishop

First time out climbing in months good to shake off some cobwebs

Fired it second shot. Felt pretty good once I worked out the move at the lip

Started up a nice day for a disco, got a little lost trying the crux without the missing hold. Traversed a little left for a move at the prow. Felt more like 22 that way

Got it second shot today. Felt ok once the sequence got figured out. Fun climbing

First shot today. Played on this 4 sessions to figure out the beta that works for my tweaky shoulder. Stoked to tick off this classic.

COVID lockdown project close to home. Ticked this off today without using the eponymous surfboard. Fun playing around on good holds through a disorienting roof. Keen to get back on the long traverse finish soon.

Pretty filthy at this end but cleaned up ok. Not terrible warm up routes.

Went pretty smoothly second shot. Some pretty thin stuff up high.

Misread the opening Boulder problem and slipped off. Glad I had the first bolt clipped. Tried again and cruised it, definitely some tricky balancy moves between first and second bolt.

So much easier as a dead point. Fun climbing in the sunshine

Cruisey once you figure out the low mantle move

Stuck it comfortably second shot.

Nice to warm up on this today.

Stuck the dyno 3rd shot then cruised to the top. First 26! Stoked!

Got it first shot today putting draws on. Lovely varied climbing with a spicy finish.

Took me four shots today but I finally bloody kept it together and got it done. Lovely climbing, I can’t believe it took me so long.

Putting the draws up for Ry and Chris. Moves above the lip definitely still feel thin.

Always lovely quirky movement on this one.

Finally got this done. Felt nails after a few goes. Pretty stoked to get the dog off it.

Went pretty smoothly second shot. Still hard over the lip but Dave’s beta worked well. Lovely climbing up the head wall Stoked on my first 25 right before Christmas!

One more lap to clean the draws. Went even easier, only had one lay down rest!

Went easy second shot

Repeat. Nice juggy stuff down low.

Repeated p1 without the tree. Linked it into p2. Got a nice flapper about 2/3rds of the way up and took a rest. Can’t wait to come back to get it all clean

Pitch one only. Didn’t use the tree this time. Definitely adds a grade or two but way more fun this way.

First shot today. Stoked to get the dog off it. Had a play with the extension too. Definitely coming back for that.

Warm up lap.

Warm up

Good fun just before the rain. Climbed as two pitches. Lucas followed like a champ.

Went easy round two

Stuck it 2nd shot. Nice climbing! Stoked to get away with this in such spoogy conditions.

Stoked to clean this up. Nice balancy technical little route.

Stuck it no worries 2nd shot.

Finally cleaned it up today. P1 crux felt fine, just had to commit. Climbed as two pitches to avoid rope stretch issues for seconder. Gracie seconded like a champ. Awesome day out

Stoked to get back on this and get it clean. Haven’t jammed in ages but this felt great. Lovely crack climbing and creative gear placements to make the rack stretch.

Stuck it first shot today while putting the draws up. Cool varied climbing and interesting crux. Stoked

Nice to get on this again but still felt a little thin.

Fun introducing Chris to balancy little binary slabs.

Finally got on this on lead. Only placed #2 cam near the bottom otherwise felt fine on bolts. Stoked it went down so easily.
