Ascents by Jake Griffiths having Trad CPR

...thin...

Rock quality better then expected, worth the the jungle fight to the first pitch!

Best battle, pretty solid for the grade up top

aww yes what a solid pocket, lets just shove my fingers deep in there..a little run out but this pocket is solid..ok lets put a stopper in this pocket..oh hello mrs.funnel web.

how do you like your slab? - mossy

The best route! Fav climb for so long!

BETA SPOILERS AHEAD -> You've seen the photos, you've heard the stories: this line looks amazing. The moment you see that corner leading into an exposed roof traversing into the abyss you are left with mixed feelings of intimidation and excitement. The next moment, when you are tied in at the bottom staring at the first 3m of choss, that has no doubt changed forms since the first ascent, it leaves you with second thoughts, and third thoughts. Once I built up the courage (read: stupidity) to swim through to the first solid hold, the corner and roof are pleasant, besides the jungle feel of reaching around ferns to place gear and to dig out holds. It just adds to the climb's uniqueness, I suppose. I reach the end of the roof (gr 21-22 till here, minus the choss start), place two bomber pieces, and reach round for what I was always hoping to be a jug. To my surprise it was huge. But, a jug to no where. Without the crucial pieces to protect the next section (#0.5 BD) and the prospect of my rope running over the arete and slicing in two (https://tinyurl.com/ycues8g3), I embraced defeat...I lowered down, to then jumar back up and aid past the crux to free (read: flail) to the top in approach shoes with entries catching on the shale ledges. I suppose if you worked out the crux, heightened your risk tolerance to welcome choss piles of death and don't mind jungle fever, then give it a go!

bit of gardening on the way up, but at least it was in the shade!
