Ascents in South-Eastern Grampians by Andrew Connolly

Literally one hard move from the 2nd to 3rd bolt - and it isn't actually that hard. This feels about 2-3 grades easier than the Birthday Barrista, so not sure why they are given the same grade (here at least), but still fun !

Did this in the rain which made things a bit exciting. Stay low on the traverse near the roof at the top to avoid some very dodgy rock. Bo cleaned up a few hundred kilograms of loose rock near the top when he followed me up it so it continues to get cleaner and cleaner.

Sat on the first bolt so not strictly a legitimate ascent, but otherwise onsight. This is a really good route as well - not quite as good as Double Shot Espresso to its right, but nonetheless a great excursion.

All about pump management up high, just don't go too far left because the grey rock around the corner is very loose and life-threateningly dangerous for inattentive belayers / spectators.

Thank-you to the developers of this area for a fantastic day. 23 is the right grade for this area

Pretty soft for the grade ... felt more like 16 or 17 but enjoyable climbing nonetheless

End of the day shot just to feel the holds. Nearly got it on sight and frankly, this is the best route around here. Solid rock the entire way, genuine gymnastic climbing movement down low, then pump and arm management for the next 20m on good quality rock. Loved it. 3 stars.
