Ascents in Murrin Park by CElliott

Three-hang lead burn. Had to give it one proper try for the season. Logging this as a “tick” just for Ethan (who will definitely read this). Ran out of time to project this properly. Will have to come back in a few years for the proper redpoint. Best rock I’ve ever touched

Sent on top rope. Fired the crux but fell off after on lead burns. Bit of a mega project this one.

Quite devious

Working. Climbed through the crux.

Challenging. Will drop the kill switch for this one next time.

Two laps

Two laps.

Top rope send. Now to go back for the lead attempt.

Leading this doesn't really appeal to me all that much.

Very good route.

Weird and quite challenging to onsight due to fiddly blind gear (and not bringing any .75/1 sized cams lol).

Sustained and challenging.

Top-rope onsight

This thing is balls and I fell all over it. That said, I feel like doing more of this style will do wonders for my climbing.

Classic.

Absorbing. Soft for the grade.

Bit dangerous for my liking.

Cool. Need to redpoint. Hopefully soon.

This thing gave me alot of trouble on the onsight attempt. Possible it is a sandbag as I fell multiple times even on a top rope on the lower back down. Not my forte but could just have been climbing poorly. I'm pretty talentless when it comes down to it .

Not bad. The area classic.

Soft. More like 5.10c/d if you are tall although short ppl will certainly find it harder.

I didn't like this one.

This one didn't feel too bad! Feel like I could actually send this! Which either means it's soft or I'm getting better on bolts.

Peter Winter is a bloody champ for putting this up. Murrin Park projjjjj!

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

Try number eight and nine. One whipped both times. I feel like I have overcome some kind of psychological impediment keeping me from committing properly at the crux. Think this thing will go to the chains next session.

Went back for a re-point but pretty sure what eventuated was an un-point. Off widths can be like that.

Whipped again. Lol

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

Sixth attempt on this and no send still. At first I thought this wasn't .12a. Now I'm sure it is. Having trouble with my head-space today. This thing will go for sure though.

Fail on the redpoint burn. Just to solidify the day's failures. Why bovva if it easy doe?

Fail on the redpoint burn. This thing will go for sure though. Imminently.
