Blackheath Area Porters Pass Self Portrait Wall | ||||||
29 | ★★★ Self Portrait — 4 attempts - with Rebecca | 30m | ||||
I didn’t know there were routes like this in the blues, I very long sequence of technical climb, the send was a bit anticlimactic, chalking up on the last crimp quite fresh compared to all the other shot.
Anyway beautiful

29 ~27 | ★★★ Fade To Black — 3 attempts | 20m | ||||
Maybe I should do more traversing routes.
SPOILER ALLERT:
There is a no hand rest half way, feel like a 24 +full rest and a 25. It is definitely a tricky rest( and might just the rest gives a extra grade).

Blackheath Area Porters Pass Sail Away Wall | ||||||
28 ~29 | ★★★ Returnity — 17 attempts - with Rebecca | 25m | ★★★ Classic | |||
This route took quite too much time but it was fun to work on it for a while.
Today on my last shot I told my belayer that I was going to clean it and give up with this one, but something snapped in my brain while I climbed the crux and I decided a different foot further to the left for the drive-by and clip (crossing), and there it was - I found myself screaming and holding on. Found this red point much harder than all the other 29s and 30s that I’ve sent. Might not be my style. |

I m running out the of good climbs of grade 25/26 to onsight and end up to find myself on choss is inevitable.
But this one is unique in is kind: arrived underneath it I got amazed about how much choss , sand , moisture,spiderwebs, glue there was on it, despite everything it looked amazing from far away and I decided to give it a shot and I purely loved it from start to end
