29 | ★★★ City of Peace - with Caroline Chang | 30m | Flat Rock | Mon 22nd May 2023 | ||||
Went up to suss how the moves feel on a 29… they felt bloody nails. 😂 Couldn’t do any of the “hard” moves, think 29 is still a ways off for me.

Horrible conditions on the first go but did all the moves pretty quick. Condies improved second shot, did the undercling to sloper move but the top suddenly felt nails. 🤷♀️

Bloody sweaty condies but made some progress thanks to some micro beta for the pretzel move from Steph Hart. Tape job saved the left index from the pocket this time. All moves done, be good to give it a red point go when it’s not so sweaty!

Mega fun roofiness! Thought I was on for it second shot but punted near the end so had to give it a third to finish it off. Probably more like 26 if your kneebar game is strong!
Bit of excitement when Stanislav Likane broke a draw!

First 27 in the mountains! 🤟
Tried pretty hard to get it putting the clips in, but fell off after the last bolt, heart breaking!
Absolute limit for that last move, I chuck up a high heel/knee scum thing at the end and whichever side of my leg the rope goes it always feels wrong!
Mega awesome/scary finale and a true grovel!

Didn’t think I’d get another go at this! First go was just kinda sussing/flailing again. Felt hard.
After witnessing a 12 year old onsight it sans kneebars I though I’d better half another crack! Got about half way, fell a few moves below a decent rest. Felt achievable in maybe another 2-3 goes maybe? |

Fuck everything at Cascade is so good! Went up to the first crux in one link. Three distinct cruxes on the head wall, each felt ridiculously hard until I found the way. Was careful to really dial the beta this time so I don’t waste 3 goes changing beta like I did on Vagabond. Will project this next time I’m at Cascade.

Blew a foot from a knee bar about 1/3 the way up on the onsight, not that I expected to onsight anyways! Was going pretty good till the tufa fins, then it gets pretty tricky. Thought this would be right up my alley with all the knee bars, but it still feels super sustained. Not sure if this will be my first 7c proj in Kaly.
Got a bit lost getting into the big tufa at the bottom second attempt, fought up around 1/3 of the way and punted off. First go trashed me!

Cool link up! Boogie is the route that just keeps on giving! Thought it might go second go but the dead point I’m doing is a little bit low percentage. I’ll be back!

27 | ★★ Day of the Wolf — 2 attempts - with Caroline Chang, Jordan Edwards, Matt Brooks | 18m | Camels Hump | ★★ Very Good | Sat 18th Feb 2023 | |||
Went into the first go so confident I was gonna’ send, lined up perfectly for dead point and then somehow still ended up dangling! 🤷♀️ Went to lower tier to climb some over stuff as the block was fairly busy, came back up later for round two. Bit tired but still determined, lined up again and somehow the rope kinda’ got tangled round my knee right at the crux, faffed and fell. Tried the move again and same thing happed! Reminder to self: longer draw on the far left bolt otherwise you get tangled!

27 | ★★★ Skywalker — 3 attempts - with Caroline Chang | 18m, 13 | Sand River | ★★ Very Good | Sun 19th Mar 2023 | |||
Grade 26 climbing + grade 28 rope drag = grade 27 I guess. 😂
Really fun climbing through the roof, but the rope drag was heinous first go, faffed around re-equipping it second then got pumped out faffing with spinning alpines on the third. Moves came together super quick though, basically just the lip that took some figuring out. The crux is rope drag/equipping faff. Rope drag reduction beta: Unclip draws 1 + 2 once you're past them, extend draw 5 (the stealth bolt in mini roof) with a double length dogbone (NOT an alpine cos they suck to clip on an overhang 😂) then same again for the "middle" roof draw (or just skip?) another double length for the last bolt. Do the last move and DON'T clip the chains just touch 'em and whip as the drag/angle on the rope on the lower off is hectic. |

27 | ★★ Shoot From The Hip - with Ben Olsen, Jordan Edwards, Caroline Chang, Megan Ellis | 17m | Hollow Mountain (N & NE side of Mt. Stapylton) | ★★ Very Good | Mon 7th Aug 2023 | |||
Had ambitions to do “Velvet Goldmine” but after a shaky warmup on “Terminal Insomnia” I wasn’t really up for it. Decided to retry the moves on this as Ben had it up. Did all the moves which was nice, but didn’t have a red point burn, was feeling too shaky.

Fought halfway through the roof on the onny. Worked the rest. Second shot on the dark started super crappy but linked from the third roof draw to past the crux so I think if I tidy up the start it should go…

Pretty janky first go, made it to the same high point as previous though (last proper move). Second shot was going good then I decided to plonk the high heel through the crux on like 3 moves too early and that (obviously) didn’t work. 😂
|
||||||||
26 M0 | ★★★ The Way of All Flesh M0 - with Will Gregson | 22m | Blue Mountains | ★★★ Classic | Tue 4th Apr 2023 | |||
Pretty much bolt to bolted it 2/3rds of the way, took a few whips and didn’t have the beans to do any more boinking! What a stonkin’ route though! It’s basically like climbing “ravenous” to a kneebar rest, then climbing “ravenous” again, which probably doesn’t bode well for me given how many times I’ve failed on that climb lol.

26 | ★★ Nero on the Rampage — 3 attempts - with Caroline Chang, Megan Ellis, Jordan Edwards | 25m, 9 | Werribee Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Wed 14th Jun 2023 | |||
Linked the hard section on the way down on the first go. Clean run second, out of beans by third. Reckon I need one top rope go to dial the moves then go for the lead. Held off as I don’t feel like I can clip the third “independent” draw but I think I just gotta’ go for it.
|
||||||||
26 | ★★ Nero on the Rampage — 3 attempts - with Matthew Follent | 25m, 9 | Werribee Gorge | ★★ Very Good | Tue 12th Sep 2023 | |||
First go felt impossible with my old beta being probably 10 degrees warmer than last time I tried it! Tried Matthew Follent beta which was definitely better and managed a clean top rope lap, just out of beans and skin by the time I figured it out. Maybe next year! 🤷♀️

Went for a red hot flash go with some beta from B1 and to put the draws on for JH in the morning, punted going for the break. Came back in the evening to finish it, expecting to put it away in one.
First evening go was pretty crap, with the clouds parted and the sun baking down on me, it all started feeling too bloody hard.
Got back on with 30 mins of daylight left and beautiful cool condies, went down with relative ease.
Mega classic route, can’t wait to never go into/out of that hole again though!

Tried it, sussed the crux beta (high right foot kneebar scum) thought oh yea “that’ll go next go” then fucking wrecked myself putting up "media puzzle" and climbing it like a wanker. Had terminal pump before even getting on but the weather was miserable so just wanted to get the gear down. Didn’t send. Cleaned in pissing rain.

Another day, another punt! Didn’t have any expectations given my recent shoulder injury but actually felt surprisingly good. Third go I actually hit the “final” hold but didn’t quite grasp it properly!

One move away from flashing thanks to rain man Will Gregson and watching gsmizz, just missed the drive by. Each go after got worse. 😂

Couldn’t find a way through the crux that didn’t feel low percentage, other than that all move went first go. Awesome route, just not sure I’ll commit the attempts required this trip.

Bring your steel finger and toes caps for this one! Took a while to figure out, a fair bit of lichen and no chalk to be seen. But actually pretty good climbing. Fairly spicy even with the extra bolt!

Loathe to log this. After a mentally shaky weekend of not really sending anything this one was my “sure thing”. Had done all the moves before and felt very doable. Backed off putting the clips in as my wrist felt tweaky on a sloper. Taped it up, went again DID THE CRUX chill as, got a no hands knee bar mid traverse, then just chickened out right before the chains. Didn’t have the beans third go. Something about this climb always results in a shite trip.

Awesome route, crimpiest crimps I’ve found in Tonsai! Missed the pocket on the onny, blew the footwork second try.

Stuck the bottom boulder second try but the dyno is just so unlikely for me. I defo got closer, but it took like 100x tries and way to much skin. Fair play to Chris Martinez sticking it first try!

Tried real hard on my flash go but couldn’t quite make the distance, each go after that got worse. Need steel fingers like Jordan Edwards! Awesome but if rock through the crux.

Thought I was gonna’ flash this, tore a big ‘ol flapper in my index finger on the first crimp I touched instead! The condies we’re not on, hot and still. 😢

Cruisey up till the crux, then impossible! Will Gregson could kinda do it static, James was going at it dynamic, neither really felt possible for me… 🤷♀️
