3 shots. Fell off the last move on my 2nd shot. 3rd day on at Bulla, and I'm feeling proper beat-up now.
Still cleaning up, but the moves are awesome, and this is a way more enjoyable start to Karma Gettin' than Toast is. Steep as all hell, but surprisingly manageable with technique (I found 4 awesome knee-bars ). Full disclosure: continuing my run of breaking holds off at Bulla on this trip, I actually broke off my anchor clipping hold on the send. D'oh! |

26 | ★★ Long Wall Mining — 3 attempts - with Michael Moore, Jared Anderson | 22m, 12 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Great roof climbing! More sustained than Black Leg Miner, and with a proper demanding finale.
Sent 3rd shot. Well... sort of: I actually had a silly foot slip while in the anchor clipping position, and pulling up rope for the anchor clip. Um... I mean: victory whip? Right? Seriously though, if I get a chance some day, I'll improve the style on this one. But for now, I'm content that I met the challenge. |

2nd shot. Like a lot of stuff here, 'tis quite moderate when you know where to go. As an onsight attempt, this made a bad warmup. But knowing what to do, it would be great. One briefly tough sequence, but otherwise quite mild.

Super steep, but pretty juggy. Short and sweet thugging. |

25 | ★★ Toast - with Stephen Varney, Lucas C, Magdalena de la Torre | 10m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Took the better part of 2 days to tick. Despite being so short, this is intensely bouldery and steep. I climbed through the crux with some gnarly "heels above head" silliness. Pumpy and powerful.
Caveat: after falling off on the previous lap, I lowered with the 3rd bolt still clipped and immediately went again... and then sent. |

Only 1 hard move. I fell off almost immediately, lowered back to the start, and then climbed to the anchors clean. Whoops.
A bit like Nev Herrod at The Glen, this is a moderately hilarious 1-sequence wonder. Actually not a bad warmup. |

Hoppy's Cave | |||||||
26 | ★★ Flesh Gording - with Stephen Varney, Tom Collins | 15m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
5th shot overall. Took me 3 shots to figure out the end of the crux (lacking a 2nd kneebar pad was a huge impediment to unlocking it). 4th shot I slipped off from the victory jug. 5th it went down tiredly -after 1 rest day in 2 weeks, I'm wrecked.
Powerful roof thugging, with less jugs than most of the other routes here at the grade. The crux sequence is awesome technical knee-barring. If this weren't razor-blade sharp, it'd score a classic from me for sure. |
|||||||
25 | ★★★ Black Leg Miner - with Stephen Varney | 25m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Sent easily second shot, having a roaring good time (and a conversation with my belayer). First shot, I got quite lost as to where exactly this goes. Utterly unreal climbing and so continuously roofy, yet not hard at the grade, and featuring some funky movement. Despite the rock being incredibly sharp, this is unlike anything I've encountered before.
