Ascents in Australian Capital Territory as various tick types

from sometime last month. really nice gr22 crimping until the last bolt which is a horrendous v6 ish move

Nails start. Keen to get back on it

Got super close on the Crux second go today, no dice though. The upper climb goes much easier. Stoked

If you were at Orroral Ridge or in the valley on this day, and heard someone getting murdered in the bush, it was actually me grating my body up this off-width crack. Bit of an awkward start, with a doable beginning section that I managed to climb clean. Getting through the overhang/squeeze section is what made me lose my shit. Once I fought my way through that after nearly giving up, the top-out was surprisingly pleasant.

This climb is well-protected, which is the only way I got through it. There are double bolts and a chain at the top with a comfortable ledge/bench seat for belaying. Great views of the valley at the top.

Couple of laps on TR, 1 sit. Close. There's now double ring bolts at the top, makes lowering off a dream.

Tips were in the freezer today 🥶

Im back and this things still hard but good progress, got the crux clean and punted after. Will be back tmrw for a hopefull toprope send. Also considering how quick I got that 26 at arapiles I reckon this thing is more than 1 grade harder

Very hard for the grade.

A little bit too close and tempting to use the right hand arete.

In desperate need for beta on the last move and it will all go fairly quick. Looks as like a left foot might have broken off at some stage near the top.

Couple of shots, couple of high points. 17:44 for the walkout time 🤙

Wow made a dog's breakfast of this compared to last time. Great climb though!

Very small progress, now at least put the drawer on and clipped, but then stuffed up my feet.

Couple of goes sorting the lower moves. Phsyched

yeah, humbled by this one, cracks a bit small for proper jams and up into the layback. got up eventually

Three shots. Pumping!

Had set up pad/rp combination but then got rained off, we knew it was going to happen but we were hopeful. I know the pieces fit or something like that.

Seems hard, trying to come up with a short person beta but struggling with the span between some of the crimps.

A few very small and sharp fingertips just above the first bolt. Will need to be more in shape and in the zone.

2 attempts, nearly got it to 1 sit. Connie's were on, Dave with the send!

Humzoo was a bad muthafucker. I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to lead this.

Brushed the crack out, looks like it's been a while since this has been climbed. Not a top shelf John Smart '78 route, but still pretty cool.

Need to focus on running for UTA100km. Nice to feel some closure today empty handed. It’ll always be there! 23 attempts total over 10days, so far best go I one sit it on red point. Psyched to have the beans for this thing without any time spent in a climbing gym or on a hang board, just running trails and climbing cracks!

Keen to come back in The future. Seems more like a 27-28 IMO compared to all other trad routes I’ve done around Aus.

Very awesome, great moves coming out of the crag. Completely different to Northern lights next to it.
