Ascents in North having Beta

The 2am wake up for crisp condies payed off! Started bawling my eyes out topping out. This one means a real lot. Even managed to make it to work on time! Bonus 🤠

Rad!! Got links start to hitting slot and from the slot to the top but figured better to come back when i feel more ready for the slot move, probably just needs another session or two! Midday trying as it was when water was lowest bloooody hot

Pre' fun. Hard with the tree.

14 sessions over 4 years. Done between rain showers, as per tradition! Now for the low low...

🤠

made me pumped outta my little frog mind 🐸

Was an old proj no one wanted haha. Plenty of tries. Thought it'd be double didgits at the time. Go Cal!

Harvey's hardest

🥷

Did it in the rain lol

Wowow epic

Worth dogging! This is a great extension to an already great line!

2 days so far. Frustration is building. Could be V9?

Glad to have this ticked off on the same day we were taking our pads back. Heat is starting to get bad for those longer walks.

Glad the crux is on the face after the lip the slab is still committing although easier. First session and got it done.

Such an awesome, route. Super unique for Harvey's, the first legitimate kneebar on a route here? Thanks Andrew for letting me on this thing, glad to know there is still plenty to explore up there!

Stellar line, so stoked to get this thing done and then work on the other problems nearby!

spooky

Backlogging to put my and Cam's beta here instead of in the route description. Started off of ground on semi decent ledge. Follow from ledge with far left hand back and right hand in sidepulling undercling, lower to left hand and move out to right jug. Feet become necessary, fill ground with pads as you can swing from this move. Follow line on corner with some gaston and crossing moves to far left corner, working to top where tree rests on rock. Can set a rope up on fig tree on top to test holds and clean plus climb without commitment.

This was what I thought was the old mono project but there wasn't any monos/topo's to follow so id say this was new?? Super thin wide elevator doors to the slipperiest mantle I've done at Harvey's! Easy landing to protect which made a solo day out fun. Possible sit start I tried a few times definitely possible but very hard.

👾

Very awesome

All the moves, none of the achievement.

Hard.

Classic

Grades be crazy 😳

Possibly a little soft

it was like a dream dude

Got lost got scared got lost again

Who knows what the FA did but ignored the megajugs and went straight up. On the crack and then some crimps.

Loved this one! Tensiony roof goodness. My style and the crux might be a bit morpho, so personal grade felt more in line with V8. Either way, happy to knock it off in the one session. Especially having tried many years ago and felt impossible then

Not bad.

Fun couple of moves up to the crux.

Nice to try. Probably need beta and fresh fingers. Condis were ON though. Nice finish to an unforgettable day. Cheers Madoc for the tour.

Battle for me for the first move. Rad line!

Tough

So many attempts when this was a proj.

Gave it a few burns with differing beta than the FA.

A few burns with Cam way back when.

Fun as hey.

Let them crystals bite and put up a fight!

One of the special ones. Very grateful for all the forces that made this one come together.

Briefly tried to repeat tonight and it felt bloody desperate, I've never tried it in winter but I think V9 might be more appropriate.

Few shots at this old rig, still intimidating!

Super surprised at my progress today, made it halfway up the overhung face to the beginning of the high crux. I was super inspired watching Chris pick up the 3rd ascent, I can't wait to get back on this crazy piece of rock.

after my recent federicks trip this climb just didnt match my styel, i just dont think it was meant to be climbed. Knife blade krimpers and glued on holds. It took me bout 60 seconds to decide to move to another climb :p

I'd been thinking about this route since the late 90s when Doug established it and my friend Jason came very close to climbing it before ending his life. I was keen to put it to bed, and it likely would have happened had I not pulled off the crucial glued-on jug at the 3/4 point. The route will be in the ~28 region once it's re-glued. Small holds, pretty painful and tenuous.

One sit.. Getting close now.
