Central climbing areas Private sector | ||||||
23 Easy | ★ Trajectory Direct - with Mark, Alex, Todd Free | 10m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
This is neat, deserves another star. Delicate start and the more moves you do the easier it gets so just keep shuffling! Feels pretty soft for a gara 23

21 Easy | ★★ Capstone Project - with Simon Porter, Ben Vincent | 15m, 3 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lots of mental rehearsal. Once you commit and get into it it’s not too bad, holds are pretty juggy and the mantle is probably technically the crux.

22 | ★★ The Art of Misdirection - with Volodymyr K, Simon Porter | 15m, 6 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Send! Stoke is high. Executed the bouldery first section perfectly in 2 mins. Then took me around 6 tentative goes up and down over 25 mins to get comfortable with the 5th clip and then slapped and thrutched my way to freedom. It did not climb the way I'd visualized.

Thu 13th Aug 2020 - Upper Gara Gorge | ||||||
Downstream climbing areas The Fortress | ||||||
18 | ★★ Foreplay - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 12m | ||||
Benji and Ben went earlier and I knocked off mid arvo and trundled up stylishly late. They'd had a solid session and Ben had already cracked the crux which is just sick. Benji had a go at leading up the first slab and roof crack pitch. Apparently they'd had an epic cleaning session and it showed. After Benji retreated I had a go and "flashed" it. The caveat is I had been on this on our very first session here but I had retreated from the sea of choss, loose dinner plates, and since trundled death boulders.
Benji reckons its a legit flash because it's genuinely so different. It actually climbs well with a fun left hip stretching move through the bulge. Apparently there is a cave I need to explore in there which I completely missed. |

25 | ★★★ Mucho mierda - with Ben Vincent, Andrew Woolley, Vaska, Scott Camps | 12m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Felt great, hit the dyno perfect on the first time for the first time (instead of slapping, fall, catch, re-adjust and go again) and then moved to the roof jugs statically. Had an explore through the next 4 or so moves before splashing down
|
||||||
22 | ★★ Toy Story Traverse - with Ben Vincent, Andrew Woolley, Vaska, Scott Camps | 20m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Jumped on to warm up, was a little blase and almost fell off a meter in. Also dabbed the water as I rounded the crux. Should Dab be a legit DWS tick type? I guess it doesn't benefit you like it would touching a pad, but it is also a gauge of quality so why not?

Watched Benji clutch desperately at what he said was not a good hold and decided to give try it, lo and behold I stuck it and wicked stoked to unlock the next couple meters to the super juicy birds nests.

A sweet beast, improbably good rock and features. Got to the missing square and then headed left into a little chip. Next obvious goal is to keep linking to the swallows nest
