Great addition from Lucas> Super fun!

I need to stop watching parkour videos on Youtube. Or do I? Good fun!
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ Menage a trois | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Perfect for footwork training. Working out the beta was fun!

Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Bakelite Concept | ||||||
V6 | ★★ Plastic Facts | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great line! Both punchy and technical. Felt quite hard and committing. The crux for me was the deadpoint throw to the RH slopper.
|
||||||
V2 | ★ Eye Of The Tiger - with Enrico carcano, Ashton Miller | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Good warm up and good to practice the end of plastic facts.

Northern Wonderland Range Venus Baths Stoplight Boulder | ||||||
V6 | ★★ Stoplight Arete Left Variant - with Enrico carcano, Ashton Miller | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Really technical. My antistyle. Beta for me was match start, bump RH to the good crimp, swap feet and stand up to reach the far LH undercling. Then match right heel with the RH and bump the RH to the arete, then higher on the good hold. Feet up and move up on jugs top out.

V3 | ★★ The Mermaid - with Enrico carcano, Nic jones | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Climbs very well. A great line in its own right.
|
||||||
Sat 13th Jun 2020 - Mount Beckworth | ||||||
Upper Hilsides Mexico | ||||||
V5 V4 | ★ Enchilada Direct - with Nic jones, Enrico carcano | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Pretty big RH move up to the lip from a left heel. Definitely easier for the tall. Graded it V5 because climbing should be more inclusive sometimes.
|
||||||
V3 | ★★ Enchilada - with Enrico carcano | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great moves. A shame it is a little sharp.
|
||||||
V7 | ★★ Casadia | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Refined the beta. It would help if I could lockoff a bit harder. Lockdown has made me a bit weak. Great line!
|

V1 V1/2 | ★ Sexy Swedish Face | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Tricky.
|
||||||
V3 | Yote (Sit Start) (Yote sit) | 2m | ★ Good | |||
The sit felt a bit forced but hey, it's one more line down here so I'll take it!
|
||||||
V4 | ★★ High Tide | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Good line. Pretty technical and not as straight forward as it looks.
|
||||||
V1 | Sexy Swedish Boys | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Good warm up.
|
||||||
V1 V0 | ★ Yote | 3m | ★ Good | |||
I thought the top out was a bit mean at V0. And it all looks super loose too which doesn't help (it's not)
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Sneak Up On The Dragon | 4m | ★ Good | |||
Nice moves.
|

Fishies North Side Pewter City | ||||||
V7 V6 | ★★ A Dream | 2m | ★ Good | |||
Did the move up to the good gaston first go but there was no way I could move from it. Only tried a handful of times because it hurt my wrist but it felt hard! Defo not a 5.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Geodude | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice rock!
|
||||||
V2 V1 | ★ Onix | 1m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Essentially the same line as steelix.
|
||||||
V2 V1 - 3 | ★ Brock (Steelix) | 2m | ★ Good | |||
V3 V1 - 3 | ★ Brock | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice traverse.
|
||||||
V5 | ★ Fishy Business | ★ Good | ||||
Started with a toe hook on the left bulge instead of a heel. Got too confident and missed the flash, that'll teach me.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ Wholesale Fish | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Had to commit to the mantle with a high right heel. It was either top or faceplant. Unexpectedly good!
|
||||||
Fri 22nd May 2020 - Mt Alexander | ||||||
Kingdom Boulders | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Dark Scar | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
So unexpected! And what a cool move! Jumped on it after 2 months of confinement. Good to see I can still crimp.
|
||||||
V8 | ★★ Scar Issue | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Three move climb and it's nails! Could do the third move to the lip with LH as a static lock-off. The second move will go too. But no idea about the first move. Bloody sit starts!
|
||||||
Fri 22nd May 2020 - Mt Alexander | ||||||
Kingdom Boulders Upper Kingdom | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Autumn Air | ★ Good | ||||
Did it as a crouch start kinda like Hiro. Couldn't figure out the sit start though so no send for me.
|
||||||
Fri 22nd May 2020 - Mt Alexander | ||||||
Kingdom Boulders | ||||||
V6 | ★★ Parallel Direct | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool moves up to the lip. I might have to top out on the right side, where the 7 ends tho.
|
||||||
V4 | The Bulb | 4m | Average | |||
Fun start, sketchy mossy top. No thank you!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Tissues and Issues | 2m | Average | |||
Sharp. Had to campus the first couple moves, I'm such a bro!
|

V3 | ★★ Tough Times - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Nice moves. Found the top out somewhat committing.
|
||||||
Sat 16th May 2020 - Mount Beckworth | ||||||
The Menagerie Reptile Boulder | ||||||
V6 | ★★★ OMG Snake! - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 5m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Tip: the chalky bit just above you is super sloppey. You want to aim right of that for the jug. Then "swimming pool exit" to get on top of the ledge is the way to go.
Amazing line, so so good! The top out is scary tho!
|
||||||
Sat 16th May 2020 - Mount Beckworth | ||||||
The Main Group Mountain King Boulder | ||||||
V5 | ★★ In the Hall of the Mountain King - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Missed the flash by not committing to the top out. Second go. Cool couple starting moves.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ ??? - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
First move is the crux if you start matching on the low crimps.
|
||||||
Sat 16th May 2020 - Mount Beckworth | ||||||
The Main Group Almost Easter | ||||||
V3 | ★★ Block Party - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Did it 2 different ways. You can use the RH side corner of the block or go straight from the crimps to the top which was definitely harder (I reckon V4) or at least more commiting. Sick line!
|
||||||
V3 V4 | ★ Underclinger - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Was gonna call it V2 until I saw my missus having to do 3 extra moves and use a heinous sharp crimp to get the send. Felt like we didn't climb the same line.
|
||||||
V3 | ★ Jump Up - with Nic jones, Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great mantle.
|
||||||
Fri 20th Mar 2020 - Camels Hump | ||||||
Omega Block Area Privy Block - Chain buttress | ||||||
V6 | ★ Permanent Psych | ★ Good | ||||
More committing than hard, I found it pretty scary. Didn't use the jug undercling from SR.
The long road home goes now, just gotta repeat Humpty Dumpty to do it... |
||||||
Fri 20th Mar 2020 - Camels Hump | ||||||
Northern Sector Red Gate | ||||||
V5 | ★★ The Red Gate | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
As good as it gets at Mount Macedon! Super technical.
And my 100th successful ascent yay! |
||||||

Northern Sector Ordinary Men Boulder | ||||||
V3 | ★ Ordinary Men | 6m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Bloody long!
|
||||||
V3 | ★ Slim Fast | 3m | ★ Good | |||
May have dabbled on the rock behing a little. It's tight!
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Pockets | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
First move is a bit mean. Nice line though.
|
||||||
Thu 19th Mar 2020 - Camels Hump | ||||||
Omega Block Area Privy Block - Chain buttress | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Humpty Dumpty | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Never worked on a climb more than this on. It took me 4 session and I learnt something new every single time. It was a fun journey but I'm glad it ended!
|
||||||
V5 V3 - 5 | ★ Standing Strain Extended (Over Strained) | 8m | ★ Good | |||
First go. Used a cool left foot inside toe hook. Finished on the top jug of straining rail which makes it easier than V5.
|
||||||
Tue 10th Mar 2020 - Camels Hump | ||||||
Omega Block Area Privy Block - Chain buttress | ||||||
V7 | ★★★ The Straining Rail - with Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Went second go this time. I reckon it's easier without matching the rail if you have a descent span. Great line!
|
||||||
Tue 10th Mar 2020 - Camels Hump | ||||||
Trackside Boulders Globe Boulder | ||||||
V3 | ★ Sally the Slapper - with Ashton Miller | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Missed the jug on the flash burn. 2nd go.
|
||||||
V1 | ★ Tempest - with Ashton Miller | 3m | ||||
Did it a while ago but just realised I never ticked it.
|
||||||
V4 V2 | ★ King John - with Ashton Miller | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Felt more like V3/V4 to me!
|
||||||
Mon 9th Mar 2020 - Mt Stapylton Campground | ||||||

V0 | ★ Baby mantle - with Max | 1m | ★ Good | |||
Good intro to mantles!
|
||||||
V9 | ★★ Collision Course - with Max | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
First of the grade and got it in less than 10 attempts. So unexpected and so psyched about it!
|
||||||
V7 V6 | ★★ Drowning Dicaprio - with Max | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Went second go this time. Such a good climb!
|
||||||
V3 | ★ Warm up left - with Max | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Cool mantle.
|
||||||
V1 | ★★ Warm up Right - with Max | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
As good as it gets at this grade. Great to practice mantles.
|

Trackside Boulders Amazing Boulder | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Brama Sutra - with Max | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Much more approchable than it looks. The first couple moves went quickly but I'm yet to find the right feet/body position to stick the crimp on the lip. Brutal on the left shoulder.
|
||||||
Sun 8th Mar 2020 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ||||||
Trackside Boulders Jungle Boulder | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Conga Fury - with Max | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Yes, first of the grade in a couple sessions! The key for me was too go straight up to the poor LH pinch on the first move. Psyched!

Big moves on big holds, the dream! Did the climb in 2 links, need to come back for the send.
|

Trackside Boulders Jungle Boulder | ||||||
V8 | ★★ Conga Fury | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Worked out a new beta for the V8 but couldn't link it all in the same session. Did the V6 version too which should definitely be an actual line! What about Conga fury VAR or something like that?
|
||||||
Sat 22nd Feb 2020 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ||||||
Trackside Boulders Anti-Inflammatory Boulder | ||||||
V5 | ★★ Naprosyn | 3m | ★★ Very Good | |||

Trackside Boulders Darjeeling Express Boulders | ||||||
V5 V7 | ★ Beverly Hills Cop | 2m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Got it 3rd go then repeated it without using the big triangular crimp but still feels like V5 max. My guess is a slopper broke and turned into the massive hollow RH sidepull. It's still a cool climb with really nice moves though.
|
||||||
Sat 18th Jan 2020 - Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre | ||||||
The Snake Pit | ||||||
V7 | ★★★ Waiting in the Air | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Sick line! Send = Flappers though bit it's worth it.
Did the dyno off the left heel, a bit like the first move of 100 pound club.

V3 | ★ Damsel | 3m | ★ Good | |||
The pocket is a bit sharp but all the moves are super nice.
|
||||||
V4 | ★ Down Under | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Dyno. That's the only way I could figure out how to get up.
|

Sun 15th Dec 2019 - Flat Rock | ||||||
Epsilon Wall Bouldering | ||||||
V10 | ★★★ 100 Pound Club - with Enrico carcano | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Got the first move dialed but being close to 200 pounds makes it hard to move off these crimps.
|
||||||
V5 | ★★★ Epsilon Crack - with Enrico carcano | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Cramped, technical and balancy, my antistyle. Didn't really like working it but so f***ing happy to get it!

Trackside Boulders Butchers Boulder | ||||||
V10 | ★★★ Butchers Choice - with Justin Foo, Anton Klimenko | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
First time trying it after being intimated for so long. Tried the first half up to the kneebar and got surprised I could almost do all the moves. Psyched, there's hope!
