A bit damp but worth sitting out the drizzle for a last light burn. A brief break in the clouds opened up right as I clipped the chains for that classic Taipan glow - surreal!

As cleaver said it looks like sex on rocks and it is! mega climbing. Use a #2 and #0.5 for gear. Actually a potential climb to tick however it will require more then 1 day in the grampians

Probably the best climb I've ever had a good at, keep pumping out before the crux (what a rad crux though). Definitely will go next time!

Avoided the swing on the crux ledge by bumping up to it. Made good use of the rests on the top half. Such a great climb. Took more effort to clean I think.
	25	★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1	Mixed trad 28m, 8	★★★ Classic	Anthony Cheff
Couldn't hold the swing holding on to the crux ledge. All clean up to and after the crux.

Great varied climbing. Steep, slab, mantle, and more steep. It may not be the approved beta, but I recommend mantling straight into the lie down rest.

Gear up past crux. Powered out and took a big pendulum whip before I got to the rest. Couldn't get back to the wall. Lol
	25	★★★ Mr. Joshua Pitch 1 - with danny wade	Mixed trad 28m, 8	★★★ Mega Classic	Ian.Grabowski
Whipped with a foot slip getting to the arete - stay focussed on present. Dialing in the moves. Beta Alert:Extend 3rd draw. Gold cam, purple cam, blue cam - all extended (my pref).

Great fun adventure. Two ropes useful but not essential. Long draws essential. Cams up to size 2. The top pitch as described steps left after the final bolt but I’ve done it twice by staying right and going up the arête which is awesome (and cleaner) at the same grade.
