Ascents in South East as various tick types by Tom Reid

Warm up

2nd shot. Some long moves on okay holds, classic old route

Repeat for fun

Not a 7 for me. Be interesting to know what the original beta was.. Great fun problem though

Close to making it onto the don't bother list due to gross rock quality and possible bad falls

Fun jump.

Warm up

Warm up. Never been up this before funnily enough!

I topped out as for rail throw, if you are supposed to top out at the V1 ill have to do it again!

Nice to clean up the old dog that tore my meniscus 2 years ago! Also I'm sure Jack and I were the only 2 Queenslanders at a crag today.. Nearly took a boat to the cave! Sent again to get the draws down EOD

Later in the day it was dry (enough) to over grip my way up.. Still enjoyable as ever

tried to do it for a warm up but messed up the beta a fair bit. second shot all g. good climb

thanks Kurt for the draws and beta, made this a fairly cruisy flash. I opted for the match and bust out right at the end, which felt equally difficult to how the other option looked. lol

Warm down

FFA. Tick! Open for business. Left draws on and some chalk for all budding second ascentionists crazy fun climbing on this rig, barely spoilt by the sandy bit at the 3rd bolt.

This is pretty rad, a little bit of crumby rock in places but some sustained crimping for a nice change from the steep.

Warm up

Juuuust made it at the end of the day.

Warm up. Spoogy

EOD. first 25 in approach shoes! no kneebars.

Bit of fun! Slightly crumbly in the Middle but all good.

beautiful bit of rock, great position.. rad.

to access Caritas and the Vos Route

pretty sure dunc linked into this from the ground to get to caritas in one pitch.

3rd shot today, 5th overall.. Very steep, then weird and hard round the lip up to the anchor.. Cut feet at the start and made a mistake in the middle but soaked the rests and squeaked it. The right extension is hard and exciting. I think maybe too hard for me at the moment

Tried to do it first climb of the day but blew up. 2nd shot went better! After a month or so of crap conditions, finally a nice day and this was much better. Classic climbing, no where to hide.

Cool but sharp

End of day

Covered in webs, made for some fast climbing and hold skipping, awesome route was fun to do again.

Always awesome

Exciting is right! Bit wet in places but good quality

Warm up to 5th bolt to smooth out a draw cutting issue, and sent as a warm down EoD.

Re-tick, had to work damn hard after playing on Entergalactic, then dogging up this with Naths static hanging off me. Mad hatter tea party photo shoot

Good climb, shit bolting. And why the fuck are the last 2 carrots?! Stupid. Someone should rebolt the top properly.

Last day best day (of the year)! Was a goal of mine to climb 8a in 2015, stoked to squeak it in. Absolute primo conditions in the cave and just me and Robdog on the train. Awesome. 6 shots.

Interesting journey. One nice section of rock with some pockets. Done in one drag-filled pitch

Warm up

2nd shot. Fun morning

2nd shot aswell, fluffed a tricky move. Cool finger locks and pockets

First time on this today, found it right up my alley! Still, didn't expect to clip the anchor on my 3rd shot. Stoked! Great route.

still weird and fun.

3rd shot. Hot, Gritty, Sweaty, Scary, good.
