Begehungen in Oceania als Hang dog von michael obrien

must learn to jam properly

noises i never knew i could make

spank 1 for the day. hungover, dog dog, prussic, nice moves, sketch out, dog

1 linking move away from getting the send! next trip!!

HARD for a 22!!!! Alot of fun fighting my way up and onto the headwall, but got massively shut down by the small crimpy, highsteppy cruz.

Having a play at the end of the day to check out holds/moves for maybe next trip.. thought the top 2/3rds was super fun.... not tooo excited the top section.

was going for the Alzheimer's onsite after top roping it last year. thought i would have a decent chance at sending it, but got shut down! next yr!!

still had a bit left in the tank at the end of the day so thought id try waste myself in the arvo and get that beer waiting for me to taste just that little bit sweeter when i get home!

A nice long boulder problem! just didnt have the endurance to get up and over the lip! I'll be back for you next year!!!

not having the best morning! didnt mind the bottom section but still meh!!

trying to warm up, but climbing terribly.....

New project!! Got pretty putting together all the sequences. A few trips and i think i should have it sent! So hot and humid up there. cooking from the inside!

last climb of the day. way more gassed than i thought i was. Stuffed about on the slab and then just had nothing left. The top steep jug romping is pretty sweet!!

putting draws and rope up for people to have a crack at. waited until the end of the day to send/collect draws, but was way too gassed after projecting bar room brawl earlier. Dog dog dog!!!!

spanked at halfway house again! thought i was going to cruise it, but got slammed! Fell after first bolt, struggled to climb through more than a bolt at a time! Nice route though.

Awesome route on some sweet as rock! especially in the lower section! Went for the the onsight, but quickly got spanked! much steeper and pumpier than i expected! Would love to have another crack at it after resting a little longer!

meh... worn out from my fruitbat attempts.

2nd attempt to work out moves. felt a bit better. got the last moves sorted out and made the clip. Now that i have the top semi sussed out, i reckon with a bit of time working out the bottom section up to the 3rd bolt, it might not be too far out of sight.

first time on fruitbat, must say i was pretty intimidated. Movement and confidence was terrible. dogged to the last bolt.

quite fingery and a good steepness. pretty sure with maybe one more lap on it and will send it.

going for the onsight. was feeling a bit sketchy and unsettled but still climbed ok. (until i got tired and then all technique went out the window) def need to work on crimping endurance if i am even to have a chance of sending this route! and maybe pre placed draws!

WHAT A ROUTE!!! Loved it!!! was pretty happy to get to the 2nd last bolt on onsite attempt. great moves, great holds all the way, until you get to the unexpected slopers at the chains. Made for an exciting whipper and maybe got an insight of why the route was named Loved it and cant wait to get back and send the sucker!!

foot slipped off just after second last bolt.

After 2 burns and a big whipper on squealer, i was pretty drained, but wanted to get on slider to check out the moves for next trip. got to the last bolt but wasnt psyched enough to commit to the last section to attempt the flash.

i thought i had it in the bag and was going for the onsite..... and then the crux move hold was just a little further away from the big pocket i was swinging off than i first expected.

was just one of those days. really not into the climbing today. tired, frustrated, unmotivated..... awesome route though.

first climb of the day. a bit of a hard start

I surprised myself of how far upo i made it before taking to the air! some exciting and inspiring moves and defiantly my new project and some motivation to train! Took to the air once again as i tried to clip the anchors! Loved it!!

overhung, boulder start, to crimps that seep to keep getting smaller and more spread, the higher you get. took a sweet fall on this one!

hard overhanging bouldery start. fell on the 2nd last moved as i was still so pumped from the 22 i did just before jumping on this one. much harder than i expected and ended up being a bit of a grunting and swearing battle to get to the top! still a great last route of my trip!!

i volunteered to clean the route and have a good crack at getting my first 23 clean on toprope. Amazing balancy, crimpy first half, knee bar, hands free rest at the break to prepare for the steep steep second half! gave it a good crack, but there was just one move i couldnt quite get/didnt seem to have the strength for/couldnt get into the right position. other than that, killed it! was encouraging to see that maybe 23's arent as far out of my grips as i might have thought!

need to go back and work at linking all the moves together and then its doing down!!!

Gave it a crack while it was raining and hungover! surprised myself when i started making the clips! looking forward to going back and trying to climb it clean.

took a nice fall just after last bolt

Dogged my way up the route to work out the moves. Obviously woke up the angry wasps just in time for anna to have a shot. Just before clipping the first bolt, her lip and eye got hammered by the little suckers! We then bailed......

look forward to going back to have another crack... mortein in hand
