Ascents in Cairns

The 2am wake up for crisp condies payed off! Started bawling my eyes out topping out. This one means a real lot. Even managed to make it to work on time! Bonus 🤠

Rad!! Got links start to hitting slot and from the slot to the top but figured better to come back when i feel more ready for the slot move, probably just needs another session or two! Midday trying as it was when water was lowest bloooody hot

Pre' fun. Hard with the tree.

14 sessions over 4 years. Done between rain showers, as per tradition! Now for the low low...

🤠

made me pumped outta my little frog mind 🐸

Was an old proj no one wanted haha. Plenty of tries. Thought it'd be double didgits at the time. Go Cal!

Wowow epic

Stellar line, so stoked to get this thing done and then work on the other problems nearby!

Backlogging to put my and Cam's beta here instead of in the route description. Started off of ground on semi decent ledge. Follow from ledge with far left hand back and right hand in sidepulling undercling, lower to left hand and move out to right jug. Feet become necessary, fill ground with pads as you can swing from this move. Follow line on corner with some gaston and crossing moves to far left corner, working to top where tree rests on rock. Can set a rope up on fig tree on top to test holds and clean plus climb without commitment.

Very awesome

All the moves, none of the achievement.

Grades be crazy 😳

Possibly a little soft

Loved this one! Tensiony roof goodness. My style and the crux might be a bit morpho, so personal grade felt more in line with V8. Either way, happy to knock it off in the one session. Especially having tried many years ago and felt impossible then

Battle for me for the first move. Rad line!

Tough

So many attempts when this was a proj.

Gave it a few burns with differing beta than the FA.

A few burns with Cam way back when.

Fun as hey.

Let them crystals bite and put up a fight!

One of the special ones. Very grateful for all the forces that made this one come together.

Briefly tried to repeat tonight and it felt bloody desperate, I've never tried it in winter but I think V9 might be more appropriate.

Bloody hell. This one took a while... I'm not 100% certain on the grade. My only other outdoor V8 took me two sessions. But this has taken me 10+ sessions. Stuck the crux in isolation maybe ~10 times out of 150-200 attempts. I'm not sure if it's that difficult of a move or if I was just fluffing the micro beta, and as it's a very precise move, it was enough to spit me off constantly. Either way, glad to finally have put it to rest!

Just need to work on the 2 left hand bumps in crux now. Rest goes!

I got a little further on the sit start but figured I may aswell work the stand. Harder then I thought but it goes. Just gotta do the sit now!

Psyched to have gotten this thing down in one session

Wasn't going to but figured a quick burn wouldn't hurt. Few shots and it was redone, used Cal's beta and with dry rock I'm certain on it being an 8. Good to know these new moves when I try the sit again soon.
