Ascents in Far North as Red point

Did it again to do the final face climb correctly, and had the scariest traverse to the right of my life. Ended up hanging onto the wall with only an opposed knee press and heel/toe, desperately questing for any handholds. Found a terrible crimp blindly and sent the rest of the climb.

Full on battle to redeem myself from my last attempt. Still found it very pumpy and committing, so stoked about the send!

Really quite good. Excellent gear when you need it.

Epic. Top roped it a couple times till the bottom didnt feel so dangerous

All went pretty well, spaced the gear out a bit but would be clean falls. Technical footwork between good finger locks in general. Stepped left to arete rest at top and thought this can't be it, stepped back right and seems I took direct finish. 19 for that but standard finish would make it 18 I think. We are done. Back to camp, took a pratfall in slippery jandals with back landing across tree root. Rest day now please, maybe 2.

ice cream. had time to do one last climb before the trek back home. mentally prepared for this route including all the rests and gear placements (thanks Nic & Sarah). didn't factor in that one of the rests didn't exist, and that i would be super pumped and needed to downclimb many times after placing gear. was well rewarded with the last sunset of Arapiles and an OTR soft serve (highly recommend!)

This just has an odd crux, a roof and weirdish gear. It is all good placements just in unlikely constrictions.

A lovely way to finish off an excellent weekend of climbing and hanging out with friends!

I hope this stays as the most sandbagged 24 at Araps instead of being upgraded. probably harder than most 25s around and some of the 26s. Went first lead attempt without inspecting the gear, however this could have been a good idea. Got to the crux where I was sure a blue hex would slot in but found it to be too big for any of the gear I brought with me. I ended up stacking a red and blue hex which seemed to not be going anywhere, committed to the crux move and sent. stoked! A bum rock classic!

retro flash after trying this on top rope a year ago but technically a redpoint. pretty cruizy once you place that first good gear in

Hard start, fun finish. Shame the last section isn't twice the length.

great line! my favorite moves at Arapiles. feels like youre climbing something harder, but easily

Bomber gear the whole way.

Warmup before breaking my wrist on entertainer. Good bye for now Arapiles.

Got it first go. Pisser

Crux section must have been beamed in from the blueies. very fine crimp and pocket pulling. The onsight burn was very shortlived but that's show business.

Still feels harder than India!

Really good!

Previously top roped.

Back on it after many years
