Epsilon Wall Bouldering | ||||||
V11 V10 | ★★ Lullaby | ★ Good | ||||
Glad to snag the 2nd ascent of this crimpy number over 20 years later. Cool journey with this one, requires a bit of clock beta off the one good foot before blasting to the second last hold of Epsilon Crack.
Would say its more like V11 |

Lara Street Boulders Pitt Brick | ||||||
V10 | ★★★ Eli's Closed Proj | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Really enjoyable and more physical than its shared start counterpart. The jump to the sloper is a skin eater! The top out is definitely less intimating than Womb Raider too, which is a bonus.
|
||||||
Tue 7th Jul 2020 - Wedderburn Cave | ||||||
V11 | ★★★ Anger Management | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Initially came for Major Lightweight, but this turned out great! Some of the most fun i've had on a boulder. No kneebar pad left my thigh feeling a little sore though! My first V11 in a single session!
