I've listed the sit separately as I think the stand is a more logical line. I appreciate the grade of the sit will vary depending how many pads you start off. I went two folded pads, which allowed me to just reach the right hand sloper. Any lower and I had no right hand at all. Ground level is probs 40cm below the bottom of the boulder, so really it's like starting off one unfolded pad. It all seemed to come down to getting the right toe to stay on. Not sure about the grade, it was my fourth day on today, so it could be V0 for all I know.

Very cool. Initially I couldn't get established on the R hand as I was too low. Then I found a hidden undercling much lower which worked. Yep, feet are marginal but they work. Cool find Tim!

To my great surprise and delight I flashed this. There is the tiniest dish for your foot under your left hand and then a bit of levitation. It is a contrived start but it's a cool problem.

Fuaaaken amazing roof crack. Stoked to send it. Really hard to grade feels desperate and impossible to start with but with very specific jams and body position is goes very smooth so idk 5/6?

V5 Hard | ★★★ In plain sight SDS | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Thu 5th Jan 2023 | ||||
Not my style so feels very hard for the grade but if powerful sloper slapping is your thing then maybe not as hard. Also “poor feet” understatement of the century 😂 Quality rock and quality problem!

V4 | ★★★ Gushing over | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ Classic | Sun 3rd May 2020 | ||||
Wow this thing was a great fight and I nearly moved on a couple times. Ben and Benji did it different which worked with their ape way out left, I found a better sequence for me which is more direct into the saddle off a tenuous sloper and then into slosh, and then stuffed my feet up and fell. Then much chalking and drying later and another couple attempts finally nailed it. Super happy with this send
