Ascents in Nightmare Rock as Red point

Always a good time!

So happy to send this on the first redpoint attempt after one top rope burn a few days prior

Tape everything and get worked!

Sweet! Second go. Screwed up the crux sequence and took a whipper at the top after I didn't find a helpful foot left of the crack at the top. Things went almost perfect second time around.

Jumped on this to say we actually climbed something. Really contrived, but still fun.

2nd go

Sent! First granite 5.12a/25 - confirming my annual goal to redpoint my age in the Ewbank scale. Grades mean nothing right? But they do. They are waypoints in a journey which describe the physical progression of individuals - waypoints without which the "redpoint" is meaningless. Without grades, the achievement of ascent is vague and ill-defined. So here's to grades. 25 points for 25years. This means in approximately 8 years I'll be able to free Vertigo right? Ha. Stoked

I think this is actually my hardest offwidth redpoint yet. Apart from that one I FA'd with Johannes and Ben in Tassie... but I took rests on that burly beast. Reminds me - have to go back and free that thing and send Functor in Boroomba

Warm up P1

Buggered up the move left the first time
