Ascents having trad-cpr

the no pressure approach works every time, 20% of the time. i aimed high and persistence paid off, thankfully without it becoming a siege.

Finally passed...

E10

time to get on the beers

FFA? Fourth day on with Jared and Jon. JON IS A GENIUS WITH HIS SHORTY BETA.

Trad climb with one bolt. Kind of runout to the bolt and after the bolt. Face climbing on a arête. Tecky.

Classic route! On preplaced gear.

Really cool! Nice to climb some cracks. Pre-placed gear flash-send train with Dave Hoyle. Probs because neither of us wanted to fall on his dodge-as gear

got the gear beta from Graham and got pretty pumped but managed to hold it together for the flash. definitely easier if you're tall. Pretty stoked to be getting back into the ropes again.

Pierre Cornellier on the belay!

So surprised this went, turns out climbing the bottom direct was V8. The route is basically 3 boulder problems stacked on each other. Very memorable crux at the top.

Fist jamming masochists special

Incredible!! In the zone from bottom to top. The victory whip was epic. Gear was on

Great route. Rage section is in the most awesome position with great crimpy moves then the top half (Angst) has a number of moves that require effort in between some reasonable shake outs. Was lucky to get the gear in and send first shot as I was too pumped to have a second attempt!

you win some, you lose some. today was a win. all those stuart days were good for something!

Well that turned out to be a good warmup!

P1 only. Sick!

Wowsers! 2nd shot, after falling off the LAST move going to the victory jug on the flash. Heart broken but healed after whipping off the top!

What an absolute cracker of a day. Four sessions and third attempt of the day. So much self doubt but managed to hang onto it. Thank you to all the people who supported me and pushed me through the send.

Team send with Kyle today! Sent first thing in the morning after warming up, which left the rest of the day to chill, chat, and share some easy-going fun times with some great people, including Dad, who made a surprise visit and graced us all with some tunes on the mandolin haha. Capped the day off with a speccy sunset, and an ice cream at Rockalicious in town. A special day.

The cream. Did the first pitch too. Let's call that the vegetables

Hot diggity damn, philby is a happy man. 2nd go today and steady, aside from the the slight sequence change at the top. Stoked.

Mega classic! Amazing pitch, my legs were burning so bad, spent nearly an hour on the onsight! Big day, we finished up University wall and the roman chimneys!!!

Take that stupid summer temps!

First try after rap inspection and doing Rage the day before. Sick!

The best thing! Excellent line up the mighty shield. Second shot after working the moves the day before and having done Serpentine ten years ago. Brilliant sequence through the arete.

(soft 8a) ground up/flash

Grouse, i believe, is the word.

Mega.... stoked!! I’ve done the easy top out as this links into the free route right at the top. But still a flashlight in my book as the climbs already over well before the top.

Life goal complete
