Ascents of Has It Got a Chevy Motor?

Trying Coolum climbing for the first time. Got to the 4th bolt and couldn't commit to get up to the next bolt before getting pumped out.

Another attempt at working the last moves on this one. Got through another 2 moves but still not past the 4th bolt. Fun climbing overall and nice safe falls.

Working all the moves and took a long time on the crux.

Climbed in the almost-dark to clean and went through smoothly. Hit the crux first go. Feeling ready to send!

Warm up and tried to down climb and failed!

SEND!!!!!! 1st shot today, 3rd shot overall!!! Pretty stoked!!!

Feels like an awesome intro to coolum climbing. Keen to give this another shot soon!

wooohooo, first shot a anything at coolum and got way further that I had hoped! lots of fun, will be back. good motivation to get strong and work on steep route technique for sure! fun fun fun!

Warmup

Warmdown and feeling wrecked!

Still didn't get a draw on the anchor. Another party popped one up there for me between shots.

Off at the last bolt. Need to find a better sequence through here.

One sit. Off above 2nd last bolt. Sorted a better sequence past it (key left foot) and through to the top. Might go when I'm fresher or it's a little less humid/cooler.

Warm up/draw run. Didn't get all the draws on.

Two sits up to last bolt but out of gas and couldn't sort myself out to clip it. Maybe doable on Saturday.

Cool beans. Hard in the state I was in! cut loose twice, stayed on to the end. Team sendage w/Tracey

Warm up and remember the moves. hungover as hell. with Tracey

Was time to get this done Warm-up! Double send with Tom!!

Warming up more!

Had a burn after Vanessa and felt ok but got majorly short roped at the 4th and took a quick sit. Climbed through to chain easily

warm up, in runners. w/Tom

Take the draws off. w/can't remember

Put the draws on. In Volleys. W/George.

had a couple of runs up this today & made the most of it until it got wet. got through the dynamic move then found the next hold had turned into a spiders house. had to move them out before having another crack. feels like it will go next visit... really awesome route with great moves

Again I fell off! I will get it one day.. Welcome back to Australia Traceyyyy!!!
