Ascents in Scenic Rim as various tick types by Tom Reid

This is one of the most recent lines to be put up, and I reckon it’s one of the best! Pretty solid at 22. Great route Jack!

Nice route. Difficult at 11am getting blasted by the sun! Maybe 22?

Amazing route, good job Matty

Full body workout, punted at the anchors. You’ll see

2nd ascent run, hold broke near the top 😂

Nice engaging slab

Amazing route, can’t wait to get back on it. I actually think I would have flashed this, had I not been on a gentleman’s sit attempt. Made it through all the business clean and remembered it hadn’t been sent yet so said take at the start of the slab. too gassed for a 2nd or 3rd shot send. Must do.

Great climb

Awesome position, ending is a bit contrived but overall a great climb

Early OS attempt foiled after the business by a rogue loose boi. Haven’t been back to it yet. Looks much better now after a few more ascents.

FFA. Wish this was more continuous, but it’s still a great climb. My sequence for the low section turned out to be sub-optimal and consequently knocked a grade off after the other boys worked out a better way.

FFA. Felt like I was squeezing this in when I did it, turned out to be a great little techy nugget

The line of least resistance

Sensational route

A lot more to this than it looks. Awesome climbing through the bulge

FFA. Nice surprise how good this turned out!

FFA. Awesome position. Fingery, technical and bouldery

Completely blank except for what you need. Great!

Great climb up a cool tower. Gentleman sit when jack bolted it then repeated later because it’s great!

Done all the moves now although need to refine the top section. Also need to actually train!

Picked this as my get back on the horse project. Steep, fingery and punchy. Got some work to do!

Tough for 15, Nath did a great job on lead.

Greasy in the sun but still great.

Good old Frog!

A very worthy addition IMO, got it first shot- though the transfer is only 1 move so I didn’t need any new beta- could be a great one to send first if you’re transistioning from 25-27.

I feel bad I took so long to do this one- it’s excellent, better than the original in my opinion, plus more consistent and slightly harder. Get in it!

Really fun, joins the best bits of 2 routes via some great pockets. Whoevers draws are on at the moment, I think the ending is way easier if you clip the second last bolt early from the double kneebar, and then skip the last and power through rather than vice versa. Nice one Dan!

Had 4 goes of Duncan's version of this. It does make sense if you're gonna climb a link to make it go as far as possible! Some spicy runout traverses from Tongue and Groove to OS. Perhaps we need to name ANOTHER link up route ? Vain Friends? Benifits of Vanity?

Twice

Good to clean this up first attempt, almost messed it up coming into 2HRS but got there in the end.

Nice, with the more direct/ straighter ending without the left holds.

First shot of the day! Had done the bottom half about 5 times clean while trying gaylord, 2nd time ever on the top half. The climbing on the top arête is amazing and committing, highly reccomend this route!. Could do with a bolt upgrade to the last 2 bolts, so we're no longer clipping flattened, spinning bolt plates from the dark ages..

Happy to re tick this first shot today.

Sent this about a year ago with Duncan but never logged. Re tick first shot today, loved it. Such a great route

It'sa spicy meata ballla! But great.

For old times sake

Dan let me check out his new route. It's great!

Nice to clean this up first shot, After trying it once almost 6 months ago

EOD destroyer.. to the crux throw clean, then airborne

Another great route I never got around to doing. First try today.

Kept going after French connection.. made it a few bolts before melting

Warm up, still love this route.

Was cool to do this placing the draws.

Jacks first new route is a cracker! Cruisy but delicate first section (rock either side of the route is still a little friable but will clean up quickly). Gets technical as it steepens to a reachy move which will no doubt have shorties complaining, then great, pumpy climbing to a balance finale at the chain.

FFA. Very hot and humid, hard to grade something in crap conditions but around 27 should be right. Let me know what you think! Some typical flinders funk in here, save some juice for the final roof problem!

Warm up

First shot fumble at the crux clip and came off 2 moves later.. second go nailed every move, and though I was tired I squeezed like a bastard til I arrived at the jugs with a dry mouth and stars in my eyes... kneebar til my leg was numb then pumped it to the chain. Epic, brutal power climbing up this original king line.
