Ascents in Sunshine Coast as Pink point as sport by Kurt Doherty

End of day send. Almost came off turning the lip, then again above the second last bolt. Blew another big chunk underfoot that almost hit Jack. Much pump, many screams, lots of choss. Great movement, but never again. [3]

Just enough in the tank to pull through. Had to climb fast though. Great punchy climbing! I really rate this and Waterline. Thanks Ross! [2]

Easy done this time. Great wall climbing. I take back what I previously said about the anchor placement...it's fine, I just wasn't using a good sequence to equip/clip them. With the anchor clip sorted, this feels on par with some of the vert 24s I’ve done recently. [5]

Only just. Was working pretty hard from the fourth on. Thought the broken hold was going to make it more awkward/difficult, but didn’t seem to make too much difference.

After Matt. Dad had one sit on this on TR.

Warming up after Matt. Dad sent this on TR after warming up on Snake Charmer.

Climbed much faster this time given I knew what I was doing and got to the anchors feeling pretty good. Nice to re-tick it and see how much stronger Matt looked on it since the last he was on it.

Felt 23 the way I did it. Was well flamed by the time I got established in the short upper corner section. Proved a bit much for the neck/shoulder so called it a day after this one, but glad to clean up a very old dog.

Felt tentative on this with a bad neck/shoulder, but got through okay. Still a classic.

Stuck the hidden hold and punched through to glory. Stoked to get this second go when I wasn't very confident I'd stick the crux without refining beta, but it all worked. Great climbing.

Superb climbing. Similar to Slider, I first tried to onsight this 3 years ago and haven't been back on it since. Great to see Shannon cruise up it; copied his beta and reached the chains pretty easily. Lower end 23 perhaps, but super fun.

First tried to onsight 5 years ago and haven't been back on since. Good to clean this up. Not a great route though, at least compared to what's next to it.

YEW! So good Saw Rob work out good beta for where I fell, used it, and kept it together to the chains!! Super surprised it went so quick, but very very happy! [6]

Struggled to get in a good mindset before pulling on and was sloppy on the start again. Reset at the left kneebar, recovering well, and found my focus. Climbed very well from then on, unlocking less powerful beta on the fly for getting into the backrest/kneebar and zeroed out there before punching through pretty easily to the chains. Definitely had to work for it, but really happy with how I managed to zone in after pulling on. Great climbing, one of my faves at the cave so far, and another oldish project cleaned up. [6]

First tried back in 2013! Easily my longest standing "project" ever, haha. Good to clean this up. Tried to keep going up Wholly, but hadn't warmed up enough dogging Kneebar Too Far and was getting quite flash pumped. Ended up hitting the wrong hold and off I came. Keen to get back on for Wholly—looks like great climbing! [5]

Send! Managed to bag the second ascent straight after Kenny's FA. Climbed well, stayed tight in the crux and that was it. Great route, though it's comically short. Feels like a V4 on a rope. [2]

Cleaning gear after Matt.

Cleaning gear after Dad onsighted and Mum dogged it. Super proud to see both reach the chains

Always a fun romp. Cleaning gear after Justin went up.

Pretty surprised to get it second go. Only just reeled in the move to the lip post-crux. Seriously great route! [2]

Cleaning gear after Mum and Dad sent.

Always enjoy a burn on this. Up to anchor and back down cleaning gear. Clean to the crux but didn't quite reverse it this time.

In sneakers. Cleaning gear at the end of the day.

Seriously good climbing and very happy to comfortably get the repeat. Way easier with proper beta so definitely 24 and not harder than Little Wednesday—contrary to my post-onsight thoughts. Tom Reid, you sure told me so haha

Tried a different sequence for the crux and enjoyed it. Made it a touch easier perhaps. Great climbing and always worth a lap.

Up and back jump to clean.

Big Friday was a waterfall, so got on this instead. Up and back down to first bolt—soooo close to getting the clean downclimb Pumped out trying to get feet back on ground.

First 26! Yay! Suuuper doooooper humid day, but thankfully the rock felt pretty good. Sent first shot after a short "warm up" on Ross' new board. Happy to get it done after being so close on three previous attempts. Could be a soft 26—it's definitely not my style—but it's very good climbing. Keen to start working on the full Acid come winter! [9]

Cleaning gear after Adrian couldn't pull the last move.

Day 2 of Rocktrip! Cleaning gear.

Day 1 of the Rocktrip! Setting up TR.

Cleaning gear. Nice and long compared to most in the area.

Cleaning gear.

Warm up and TR setup.

Up and back-jump to clean after Tony's successful tick (his 4th shot no less!!!). I'm now very curious about this and Pipeline—I felt like I was having to pull much harder past Pipeline's second bolt than the main crux move of this. Undoubtedly I need to do more routes at both grades to really know [EDIT: and get on Pipeline again]...

Cleaning draws after Tony's attempt. Happy to get through this pretty "easily". Still a tough move that's very bicep-y for me, but it's really fun.

Warm up + cleaning gear. Always nice.

Good little route. End of day mileage. Felt tired.

Warm up

Cleaning after Cameron's onsight. Seems to climb a fair bit to the left of the bolt line.

Cleaning after Cameron's onsight.

Cleaning gear after Will couldn't pull the crux at the third bolt. Felt harder than my onsight last year, so this time I agree with 22

Cleaning gear after Will couldn't make it.

Warm up.

Pink-point straight out of the bag, having not been on it for 12 or so months. Happy.
