Ascents in Gold Coast as various tick types by Tom Reid

FFA. Changed the top sequence and it worked a treat. Actually a really fun route! Great spot up there too.

Side note: the crag is being stupid on my phone and saving while I play around with names. I’ll settle on something soon.

This was good fun! Wish the steeper part was longer. Mind some loose bits at the top.

Haha! I feel like Rob Saunders , apparently I sent this 4 years ago.. and I called that ascent an Alzheimer’s flash! Alzheimer’s flash number 2, after Matt onsighted it like a champion.

487,533rd lap

Actually really good! Sustained climbing on some flat edges and at times hard to find holds

Nice to re-do this one. Felt surprisingly strong and controlled.

Fun day back at the old haunt. Stoked to get up this one again, at the end of the day after Steve was working on it!

'Alzheimers Flash'... only one brief go on this over a year ago, first try today. Cool route!

Moved fast, fought the good fight, and outta nowhere, it was done! Thanks for the perma's Ross, a special route for sure.

Half the draws were on. It was almost completely dark.. but JUSSSTT made it. by the time I got back to the ground it was pitch black.. Quite fun at night actually.

Warm up - planned on having a sit but remembered the route well and it was fine.

Shikadinggg! After a long break from the route, I was able to pump the jetty.

Gotta love a route that has no boring bits! This first part is awesome and some great rock before business time.

This was hilarious. All day nick and I had been farting. I'm halfway up this, and he is getting into the business of Bikinitown Direct. He lets a ripper go, and we are laughing our heads off on the wall getting pumped silly. the whole way to the top we're suppressing giggles and snorting, just lost the plot really. He managed to get the tick like a boss! Well done bro.

Got it next shot, huffing and puffing.

few laps throughout the day.

Managed to tick this in the arvo as a thrash-myself-to-bits-climb, and I feel like it went really well. I remember this route as a heinous bastard, but revisiting it was quite painless and enjoyable. Happy days!

"warm up" a little optimistic, but it went okay. maybe risked a sore finger, but no flashpump so all good.

FFA. Cha-ching! I think defs a V5, not sure if harder I havent done a lot of bouldering so hard to say. To be confirmed. either way, its my hardest boulder to date. Sweet!

barefoot 2nd ascent. One of the easiest here so far.

FFA. Once the two problems either side were done, linking them was the next obvious thing to do. However I didn't realise it would involve such great climbing! My favourite boulder in Barnacle Bay for sure. Wow.

Great boulder. after Jarryds FFA.

FFA. This was originally the first feature that caught my eye. It was cool to do battle with it! Hard right to the lip. Rad.

FFA. Fun arvo with Jarryd on the lower section at low tide.

repeat was much nicer with a spotter, haha.

After Jarryds FA. Rad boulder, always nice to stand on top.

FFA. I wish this feature was a metre or 2 bigger. Sweet.

FFA. The first one I did there today. Nice.

FFA. Pretty tricky, this wall is actually quite good!

FFA. Fun arvo by myself checking out this new little area. FFA unless I learn otherwise from somewhere..

warm up, hot as up the top!
