Begehungen in Mt Coolum haben Beta

new highpoint

New beta to the first goes pretty good, really!

Thank god that's done!

Didn't have a tantrum this time. Got it on the beta burn. Felt like popeye in the cave rest but managed to pull it together and finish it off

So the coolum addiction begins.

I broke a jug before the first bolt that is key for the route. I met some locals at the crag who told me that they would glue it back. Please do not climb this route until it's repaired. I have just added a warning on the crag.

Got ratatouilled up the route by Rob's beta because I hadn't worked out the moves. Couldn't have done it without the help, thank you guys

Had to do a lap so my Coolum weekend wasn’t completely fruitless. Start beta is perfectly dialled now, feels cruisy.

Jumped on Sam’s mega proj. Desperately tried to flash it out of spite but I’m pretty sure he sprayed some bad beta to throw me off. Either way I’m certain I’d have been short roped if I were to make it to the chains.

Can’t believe Sam has been Coolum 6 times and this is the only route he’s touched. Pure trash. Sam is mentally ill.

Another crack at it. Didn’t want to commit to the big move to the jug after ripping up my hand yesterday. Did it anyway. Still scared of clipping the chains. I feel head butting the chains would make for a valid pink point.

Another real close attempt. Also, if you took the first two draws off this, any chance you'd let me know where you put them

Slippery mantle

3 x attempts today. first two were pretty rough, humidity was making me wet fire on the crimps. 3rd shot, linked from bottom of crux to the upper headwall! Psyched to know it's possible for me and keen to come back and start giving proper red point goes!!!

Wet and spoogy. Clipping second last was a bit sketch but just had to commit. Chains clip was also a bit engaging but she’ll go.

A bit rusty.

Just one go today. Draws up and feeling pretty strong through the crux. Next session or so if I can get some westerlies

didn't manage to clip anchors. effed up kneebar placed, will go next attempt I reckon

No knees to finish a big session

Best attempt yet. Still fell at the fist bump but then finished from there.

What an awe inspiring crag! We’ll be back

Fell going for the last move. Dirty bugger! Apart from that the rest felt real solid still

Don't think that finish should be legal. Bit of a Pump fest once you leave fihp. Should be a little easier to link more next shot

Had nothing left

11/05/2024 Got all the moves. Very fun climb with bouldery start.

best link done so far from start to falling on the last move of the crux. start boulder is tanking my core still, need to climb quicker

Low way, the way God intended it to be.

crux move is done. now just need to work on linkage

Mini-highpoint. Fingers on hold but couldn't hang on.

Finally got it!

Got to the hard bit, didn't commit- pumped. Then did the cool move and finished it.

🎉

Bolt to bolt acquainting myself with the top, really like it!

4 attempts. Dropped at the anchors. PB so far. Might go soon.

Climbed screaming again, didn't get much further

Clean all the way to just before the chains. First time repeating screaming

Dogged screaming and tried moves of wholly

C00l!

Cool! Started to get a bit wet.

Messed up the footwork on the send burn. Spewing. Next shot...

5 hour* abs. challenging but super fun!

After squeezing this bastard for months I finally got the juice. Actually felt really good the whole way!

What a dog! Definitely need to find the beta on this one. Fun proj!!

Bailed at 3rd bolt ish? Fun.
