Begehungen in Frog Buttress als Red point oder First free ascent

Flowed. Beautiful climb, fingers to forearm jamming forme, with an arm bar as well!

Cheeky Weekday Frog session with Nil as he continues his whirlwind tour of Australia. Great to catch up and boy did he crush it! Carrying a quadruple rack up everything was a sight.

Being free I was obliged to jump on Infinity. A hell of a first crack for Steve Clarke who did absolutely brilliantly!

I wish I'd timed myself, felt quicker than usual

BEST 23 AT FROG! Went a lot easier with knowledge of the key footer.

So nice, first attempt on lead after bumbling up it on second last season.

Always used to find this tough at the start of the season, both movement and gear. Very happy to cruise it, felt like a different route to memory

A lot easier these days, but still a pretty tough read a few m off the ledge

Always worth a lap. 20 attempts at swinging my sling before successfully slinging the chock. Gotta remember next time to not put any gear on the back of my harness, can barely squeeze into the start of the chimney as it is. 60m just got us to ground with a simul-rap.

It's becoming a bit of a bad habit finishing every session on Gladiator...

Hot hard climbing in the sun, I found the bottom half quite tough so i really earnt my roasted pine nut hummus, organic brown rice crackers, marinated green olives, wine infused salami and reduced provolone and smoked chedder cheese with blackcurrant kombucha post-climb snack. Thanks for the patient belay J.

So gassed by the top I thought I might throw up. Placed a poor piece before going for the finish and freaked myself way the fuck out, but managed to pull through. Thanks Will for being patient while I spent 10 minutes recovering just to spend 20 more bush bashing through the next pitch (not part of the plan). Will flashed it cause he's a legend, then he almost grabbed a snake just for a laugh. Sweet pitch, really good pro if you place it

What a slog! Hustled my way up, almost blowing the step over to the last little offwidth. It's a good thing Kyle is used to working rope access in the hot sun, had him putting in some man-hours trying to retrieve a stuck 0.5.

What a route though, pretty much as good as it gets. Glad to be ressurected through the tunnel this day!

Hex'd the tree root.

Wow, epic finish to MP, seriously the only way to go!

The LHS Anchor bolt is looking a little less than confidence inspiring.

I am once again asking for a passive gear only tick type on thecrag.

Fun warmup, and ran into some old blueys friends in the area.
