Slipped off when setting up for the crux move
Did manage to pull back on and went clean to just past the pinch and jam. Just didnt latch the undercling.
Tried to find some alternative beta for the crux below but still couldnt manage anything else other than my sequence with the gaston shouldery move.
Seems like the move from the pinch to the undercling might be my red point crux now |

Did the first crux okay and then felt too pumped to clip the first long sling and had sit.
Decided to continue to try top and took a good fall getting into the first rest and then took another rest before doing the slab into the roof. At least managed the roof sequence to the top. |

Another burn and marginal progress?
Still couldnt get through the first crux clean from the ground but again did it first try after a hang. Made better progress through the next sequence matching the good U shaped undercling to help get my moves in the right order. Dropped moving up into the pinch. Clean to the top again after that. (Two hangs - time to cut down how long I rest on them and or try take one hang out..... or both?) |

27 | ★★★ Camel Filter - with Luca Wilkening, Nick Zemkus, Shiran Sitrin, Ben | 22m, 8 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Got to the TR chains and rested well before trying the first crux. Got the RH but couldnt get my feet up.
Pulled back on after a good hang and got the move first try and even made some progress getting the right kneebar and a hand sequence to move into next crux before the hand jam. Took another hang and then blasted to the top. The jam sequence goes quite well now but I suspect when doing this clean it will feel a lot more pumpy. |

Holy shit this felt hard. So glad Justin led this and I had the opportunity to second, but I can't imagine getting good enough to lead it. Did all moves clean, but needed a rest after the traverse and before the techy crux on the slab. Pretty runout and dangerous if you're not super solid. There are some serious no fall sections on this.

This is sensational. I can imagine trying to lead it in the future, but another few attempts on TR would be needed before I was game enough to try it! Probably a PP after that before considering a RP... serious stuff. Was nice to use a finger lock at some point there (although only possible after cleaning Justin's cam from the crack, so probably can't use that in the lead, haha)

Clean to the top of Trade Route and also the next bolt.
So pumped.
Dropped the big move up maybe once or twice. Made the jam sequence much quicker but also did drop the move to the undercling once. Also need to figure out how I’m going to link the two cruxes as bumping along the underclings feels so hard |

27 | ★★★ Camel Filter - with Khya Brown, Nick Zemkus, Leo, Andrew Dolan | 22m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Played around with a kneebar on Trade Route on the way up. It’s decent for a rest but not sure it works for me to do the crux of that.
Pushed on and up into the first crux of camel. Went up from the wrong undercling. Got the move first try after that. I also managed to get a better kneebar out right before going into the sequence into the hand jam. Was able to get the hand jam easy enough today but moving up to the pinch I kept dropping. Just need to hand jam 100% harder than what I was jamming. |

Feels like it'd be a decent climb, except I can't for the life of me find a way up the wall without using the AA crack (or the arrete below). There are some nice sequences using the crack for right hand and foot, but if you're going to use the crack you may as well be all the way in, right? And if you're going to use the arrete, you may as well keep using the crack... Without using it seems pretty tough, way harder than similar climbs at 23. But hey, today way just my first session! Might be wrong

My proudest hang dog to date.
Stoked to get to the top of this!!
Was pretty cooked after my last burn though and had to rest on the Trade Route part too. Managed the first cruxy move of Camel into my RH gaston on my 2nd attempt this burn. Felt on my limit. Also managed the next cruxy bit with the marginal kneebar in a few goes. Noticed that swapping my hand in the UC will be really hard when trying to link these sections too. Once I got the large undercling after the jam the climbing backed off enough and I even found a bit of a no hands rest. Little did I know the chains were basically right there. Time to start working and dialing it in. Feels like it'll be a crazy hard one to link. |
|||||||
27 | ★★★ Camel Filter - with Andrew Dolan, Luca Wilkening | 22m, 8 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Pushed on from the chains of Trade Route - it was hard as!!
Got beta from Kieran which worked for me mostly but had to change a few bits to get it to work for me. The big move up into the undercling just off the trade anchors felt crazy hard so instead I did a shoudlery gaston move instead. Move felt very cruxy either way but could free it with the gaston. The next hard sequence with the right knee bar was savage too. So hard to trust that footer with the kneebar to get enough height into the prominent hand jam. Managed to get there once but was losing the jam after I got the LH pinch and dropped the move into the next undercling. Got further than I thought I'd get on my first go. |

2nd burn to see how far I could get and how much beta I had locked in.
Turns out mostly all of it was locked in. Only 1 sit.
Felt so fun to blast through the RH Gaston crux and cruise to the rest. Really enjoyable climbing and pushed on and up to the main roof. Created an marginal kneebar in the roof to try and adjust the LH on the point to get a better kneebar but it was a real struggle. Made the LH crossover and then went LF first to the next hold when it was meant to be a RF. Couldn’t reverse or cut feet to swap as I was pumped. Had to hang here. This route feels so awesome! Can’t wait to get back on it!! |

25 | ★★★ North Terrace Stroll - with Trang, Nick Zemkus | 20m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
First try on this. Felt very hard.
Easy climbing up to first bolt and then a very cruxy move out right to a RH Gaston. Took me a while to get this after trying it multiple times.
Once past this it was fun climbing through to the first rest. The next sequence up to the roof UC looked trickier than it was for me. Once in the roof though it does feel a little on again. Getting the body bar rest first time around felt awful. Was very active for me, felt cramped and like I was going to slip out. Almost felt better to do an inverted kneebar off the same holds and then even going above and kneebar while standing on the body bar hold instead. Was good climbing to the top. |

Tried to see how far I could go. Managed to get to the second bolt on the head wall before joining ANZAC.
Didn’t hit the LH side pull as a side pull and was pulling down on the hold. It’s really not great in that direction. Fell bumping the into it proper. Felt really close on this burn.
Really fun climbing!

Bolt to bolting as first time on. Felt pretty good. Bit of a weird start leads to nicer climbing. Felt like a long way to the draw below the roof but the holds were really good.
A crimp then a precise LH side pull on the head wall before joining ANZAC. Quite decent! Will be a pump manager for me I reckon.

Small improvement. One fall in each try, but footwork is getting much better, I can see the light!

I did get to the chains, but I spent so much time on the rope that I think even hang dog is generous. Got an okay sequence though, might go on a good day (or after a bit more stamina development).

This is a lot of fun, and I got much higher on my first go than I expected. That crux will take some time to learn properly though... Felt more complicated than most of my summit projects, but less endurance needed.

Very messy first burn today. Forgot my beta after the first good knee bar and at the final roof. Was sloppy.
Did manage to find a really nice pinch at the top to help gain the headwall.
Also potentially spotted the culprit rock/blade for cutting ropes. In the final roof, there is a bolt above and below. The lower bolt has a long downward facing blade like feature slightly up and right (I use it as a footer in a stem at some point). On this blade is a hand size section really close to the bolt where the rope can run underneath. If a climber were to fall (at any point with the next draw clipped) while the rope was running underneath, the tension put on the rope can cause it aggressively rub over this bladed edge. I am certain that this explains what happened to the rope on my previous outing. Could potentially extend the last two draws before the headwall if worried about this or be very mindful and ensure the rope doesnt get caught underneath while climbing past it. |
