Ascents in South East as Working as boulder by Gus Mckelvie

Reasonably close. Time to train and revisit. Sick to see Zac put it together reasonably quickly

Fun line, fun movement. Came off on the Gaston before the side pull jug. Even falling 1/3 of the way up this thing feels scary, probably because I’m thinking about the top.

Only came to work the last move as that was all the skin would permit. Did it 4 times consecutively . Time to come back fresh and do it from the start

Not as hard or scary as last time, although there is still a fair bit of both going on.

First session of the season and the bread loaf has been matched! Keen to come back with fresh skin and give her some send burns.

Thought I was too short for the drop knee, Declan showed me otherwise! Not a lot of progress but good to see pieces come together

Keep smacking head against rock until I climb rock

The proj

Hoped on the rope with Zac. Feels promising but spooky

Nice to play around and see how this thing goes. Worth another visit.

A light at the end of the tunnel! Foot slipped before the penultimate sloper. Keen to get back and put this bad boy down. Big sesh for Dec getting BMU after this

Called it early as I blew a hole in my finger on the third attempt

Just about putting it all together.

Probably the best session on this thing yet. Still a ways away

A crumb of progress. From not being able to pull on start of last year to slapping the sloper with relative ease yesterday.

The 5th session on this thing since coming back in February. On the third session I fell on what shouldn't have been a droppable finish.

Trying to scrape some lessons out of this as the last two sessions have felt like I've gone backwards. The rain, wet rock, humidity, and heat probably aren't helping.

Amazing climb. I'll probably give it one more summer sesh and if it doesn't go I'll come back to it later in the year when I’m hopefully a stronger and better climber.

Worked it out towards the end. We'll be back

Getting reacquainted with the moves

2 moves to go! Gaston feels surprisingly good, I'll be back.

4 pads was enough but it would be nice to have 2 more.

Humid solo session. Found consistent beta for transitioning into the undercling jugs at the end of the crux.

Linked in two parts! First session on this thing and progress was surprisingly quick. One move and a long V4 guards the send.

Such satisfying moves, a classic of the cave for sure!

Every move felt incrementally better than last time. Good progress

Kept struggling on the final move getting to the flake. Felt like blaming skin, the real blame was probably my shoddy slab technique.

A completely different style to what we're used to but jeez was this fun to work. Will go next session hopefully

Good progress on this thing

Landed the move but got too excited topping it and fell off the V3. Lesson learnt!

Consistent with getting to the starting holds of Bane Lite. Just gotta move that right foot then get my heel on and we're cooking.

Progress on this has been surprisingly quick, motivating stuff.

Savage knee bar without knee pads.

Guess it's the proj now. Here's hoping we get a couple more cold days in the year

Two burns at the end of the session to test out new beta

Just gotta do the top out and link it together.

Probably should have checked the tides. Wet and sharp but the climbing feels engaging, simple, and strong!

Mandatory couple burns on the proj at the end of the session. The shoe keeps slipping.

Great movement! If it wasn't so sharp it would be a top 5 at Tooheys for me!

Technical, sharp, fun, and hard. Classic Tooheys V5.

Bummed out I didn't get it! Came off a few times at the mantel before I found beta that works for me. Sick line! Very sharp.

Deceptively hard!

This thing is inspiring! Awesome line. First 5-6 moves linked. The last ones seem possible. Linking it together looks pretty serious!

I was trying a lie start and still felt possible. Will come back and attempt the sit now that I've found out about it.

This thing is pretty serious. 80% goes but that 20% seems pretty illusive.

The first move and first bump fairly dialed. Keeping the heel-toe in for the third RH still feels super fidgety. The rest of the moves are still hard as well. It's pretty heavy on the right leg.
