Ascents in Grampians by Adam Straw having sport-cpr or ascent-date

Loved the moves on this one. Tom threw down the gauntlet and I had no chance but to join the send train just as the sun was setting.

Loved this one. The start flows really well then the dyno is sick!!

Wouldn't have been able to manage it without funky beta getting shouted at me from the ground. Cheers crew.

Felt impossible on my first go. Borrowed some better beta and fired it second go.

Did the direct finish.

Very classy arete

Awesome to get the belay glory on Tom getting the FA. Super fun moves and another great drawcard to get people walking all the way up the hill.

Bizarre rock indeed....

Desperate mantle moves then classic hauling through the steep stuff.

Continued on after doing crime wave. Crux at the top is super cool and exposed.

Stemming up the corner is beaut!

Short, but I don't think you could ask for better moves and rock quality. Was so damn close to coming off at the top. Third go in total.

Sustained and interesting all the way. Tried with a 70m rope and had to pull some weird jiggery pokery to get down.

Felt way easier than the first time i tried it a few months back. Got super pumped.

Good warm up.

Cleaning lap for Ben. I did more vertical aerobics than actual climbing.

Best climb at the crag by a long way.

Warm up for the guardhouse challenge. Got pumped and probably finished off colder than I started.

Sick route to finish the day.

Very thankful to have the gear already in and an extended sling at 3rd bolt. Had a few goes at the crux but had to pull through in the end. Got pumped stupid up near the top and took a huge whipper into the fist. Limped out thinking I'd broken my foot but xrays were all G .

Got all the moves pretty dialed but that top crux will be absolutely desperate to link from the ground.

All kinds of awkward.

Dogged my way up but there was probably one move I couldn't do around the second bolt. Last moves to the anchor are mega cool.

Makes climbing the first pitch worthwhile

A little bit moist first thing in the morning which made the arete a little exciting. Great fun though.

Climbs way better than it looks and what the guide says.

Awesome solid rock to fondle.

Cool bouldery start then interesting to the top.

Kissed the anchor then went for a base jump on the onsight. No dramas second go.

Arms felt like noodles. Need to come back.

Had a go after spending most of the day on Mr J. Got shut down at the top.

Thought things would back off after the roof. but it's certainly goey all the way to the chains.

Could be a show stopper for the tick the crag in a day challenge. Couldn't work out the bottom boulder at all. Felt way hard!

A small sample of the Grampians at the end of the trip. Jeepers it was cold!

Found the crux on this super hard and had to cheat my way through it a bit.

Couldn't hug the fridge hard enough and fell off.

Hand closed on final jug, feet cut loose, held it for a second then lost it. Shit.

Arms were like noodles after climbing the rest of the crag. A bit of a hang fest but got up it. Think it would be an amazing route to link.

Route description on here is definitely right. First bolt is visibly cracked at least halfway through. They appeared ok after that though. Move over the roof is bloody massive and awesome.

Got stumped getting off the ground. Not too bad after that.

Almost there but just a bit too pumped at the top. Sick buckets!

Sweet warmup. Reasonably serious start over the boulder though.

Got spat off into the dirt about 5 times trying to get off the ground. Not a good warmup.

Crux had me confused for a while but was a super cool move once I had things sorted.

Feeling like a fat mule by the end of the day on this one. I'm sure it would feel more like a classic if I didn't butcher it.
