I remember being freaked out watching Ben on this but this time it just seemed like no big deal looking up at it. You absolutely do not want to fall but it might even be a V0.

V3 | ★★ Chicken Cacciatore - with Benji Dutaillis, Alec Eastwood | 1m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Super happy with how I re-sent this, very smooth and controlled didn't struggle or grovel at all. All in the hips

V5 | ★★★ Blokus - with Benji Dutaillis, Alec Eastwood | 6m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Felt pretty hard getting back on this, took long breaks to save skin and made each go count. Got it maybe 3rd or 4th try

I think the problem should be more around the V5 range personally, but definitely some pretty neat and fairly tricky climbing.

I honestly think this could be one of if not the most sandbagged problem in all of Australia. Its definitely pretty fun to figure out though.

A bit of a banger one move wonder. I think the grade is debateable depending on your dimensions, but otherwise its definitely a neat little climb.

V3 | crimp left face - with Oliver Walker | 2m | ★ Good | ||||
Not sure where to start hands. Used a heel hook on the crescent shaped crimp (about chest height)and tried to start with R hand also on this crimp and L hand pressing into a different crimp. This seems doable but I was unsuccessful.
Was successful when I used the crimp above my head for my R hand.

Not my style so feels very hard for the grade but if powerful sloper slapping is your thing then maybe not as hard. Also “poor feet” understatement of the century 😂 Quality rock and quality problem!

Fuaaaken amazing roof crack. Stoked to send it. Really hard to grade feels desperate and impossible to start with but with very specific jams and body position is goes very smooth so idk 5/6?

Another 5-10 goes, lots of micro beta improvements and can just tickle the salmon with left hand into the high jam but still not quite into the good spot.
