Ascents in Victoria having Beta

I suppose V8 at least.

Flapper delight

Nice cruisy moves to the slopers at the end...v'nice line.

Nice line, not sure it deserves all the hype. Fourth pitch was favorite. Need to solo this next time, am sure it will make it more memorable.

Great chimney...think the rating was harder...significantly...but great climb and well worth it.

Nice solo. Bit commiting at the top, wasy moves...but sans rope? Quality Solo on bomber rock.

First climb at Arapiles. Awesome, love the bolt, but so pumped after stitching three cams in the start! I am such a crap trad climber! Took at the bolt to get the confidence up, then pulled the top easily. Will clean this on the next Arapiles trip.

Fantastic route, very scary traverse, had me afraid like the traverse pitch of Hotel California. Great pumpy route, and very considerate of the hardmen to put in an easy one for us lowly hacks.

5th shot of the second day, shot nine of the trip...fucking stoked to have this bad boy...DONE. Awesome line, Amoungst the top five routes of all time!

A challenging route for beginners, the top few moves are pretty groovy. My nephew Chris showed amazing courage on this route, he was scared and shaking but kept moving, inspiring effort from the little fella

Who does a pink point on Trad? I DO!!! Mwahaha, I still don't trust my placements, but other peoples, no worries. Fun crack, unlike its painful neighbour the Glory Rat.

Just a jog up the wall to belay the second pitch...decent enough

Fun fun fun...Grampian jugs, forever...Pumpy.

Hard start for the short assess of the world. Managed to jump to the sloping pinch, what a bastardo. The third bolt is somewhat scary too. This will definitely go next time around. Easy for the grade.

What the grampians is all about, positive holds, slight pump...nice.

Great ending to this classic, the overhanging arete with max exposure esta beuno!

Our second local crag, Saw many valient assaults by newbies of all descriptions!!!

Hard moves, nice line.

Fucking awesome introduction to Taipan! Giles is right! Crux is clipping the third bolt...WOW!

Great climb! Awesome flake with great action on the layback! Need a photographer on the slabs below to capture the silouette on the sun struck side of the rock. Beautiful day, great spot, awesome climb!!!

Good beginner climb, great bolts on top very new and solid. My nephews first climb!

Layback forever, and then pull through the awkward kneebars...fantastic and painful...pretty stoked to get through the crux on this bitch, even without the clean tick...another open Gramps project...oh well will just have to come back.

Jumped on it 'cos it has bolts! Although a little awkward coming down. Short and pretty ordinary. Still worth it if you like sport and need a rest from fearsome tradding.

The Gallery! How magic is this place? Chain of Fools is definitely amoungst the best power-endurance climbs I have ever gotten on. Think I would have gotten this before Christmas, but oh well, as good a reason as any to take anoher Grampians trip!

My first trad multipitch lead, with Ms Remie Fujiwara on her first multipitch!

First free solo in a long time. Absolute classic route with three sections of climbing that made me want some protection. A great way to clear the head space.

First route of Mally mourning trip.

Fuj's first trad lead.

Lead by Claudine.

Lead by Claudine.

Bold over the bulge to obtain the horn! Jesse on belay.

Excellent climb, airy with spice. First crux on the third was intense, and then fell seconding the 4th pitch at the crux. Dropped kroma and biner...recovered both on first belay ledge.

Final climb of trip with Jesse and Fuj, pre-Mally passing. Jesse free soloed the first pitch, then thought roped might be better.

Excellent outing, first multipitch with Fuj and Claudine. Claudine led the hard ground. Started up first two pitches of Xena, traversed from second belay of Xena to third of Sirens. Spooky traverse.

First multipitch trad lead with Fuj.

Led by Claudine.

Day 6, final day of Mally tour. Fuj fell at crux on second pitch, popped RP and landed softly on ledge. Use the piton! Crazy finish up the chimney roof!

Fun day swinging leads with Fuj. Lots of company, with a party ahead, and one to the side.

Day 2 of Mally tour. Swinging leads with Fuj. Full day in the sun.

Simul-climb to first summit. Fuj led by descending to the lower ledge.

First multi with Fuj and Jesse.

First line of the trip. Nice line, airy finish.

Second time on this lovely route!

Feel like I've done this route before. Great route!

Thought provoking first pitch... really great for dialing in slab technique!
