Ascents in Melbourne and Surrounds by Alex Casar having trad-cpr or ascent-date

trickier than i expected. looks easier from the ground

Two tricky moves

very exciting climb. i still fear and probably will continue fearing trad, so i had elvis leg during a big chunk of the climb

Struggled more than expected during most of the climb

thought it already had gear placed so i didnt bring any. scary last 10 meters of free solo with a big ledge at my back to kill me if i fell

enjoyable climbing

trying to get more into trad, i still suck at crack climbs and fear them a bit. my third protection popped off, luckly I didnt fall

would have been really scary on lead, props to liam for leading it

wanted to place the same cam all over the route. sad that i only have 1 cam of each size xD. scary because of my relative lack of gear, but offers great protection if you have more stuff

my scariest trad route so far, pretty sure my last piece of gear was shit that would have popped, but was too pumped and scared to stay there tring to place something better. placebo protection hoping i wouldnt fall was my choice

much easier and nice than hadrian

nice climbing, my highest graded trad so far. slowly getting there and happy about it

good trad practice

tried to start directly below and ended up disappointingly falling on my first attempt. moved like 30 cm right and sent it afterwards.

nice and easy

good trad practice

nice little climb

cleaning after cole's lead

set as toprope since pro didnt look great, fun crack
