Turns out I had no beans left.
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. |

Never got the tick on this and now I remember why. Felt like a classic Summit over-chalked slopey mess of a route. Pumped out before going over the top.
Spent too long down low searching for something good.

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?) |

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. |

Might have climbed this on the one day per year when it was actually dry. NICE!
After getting over my doubt of the calcite for the first 2-3 bolts I got trucking along. This does climb really well in the end. Pretty happy to get on this finally. Went slightly left at the second bolt before traversing right to the third bolt. A fun jam exists and a nice lay back to the chains. |

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.

Climbed it properly in the dark. A loose block came off near a big pinch after the stem. A jug at the top of graffiti wall also came off along with tonnes of little chips along the way.
Definitely a little harder today in the dark and with so many holds coming off. |

24 | ★★★ Hypertension - with Justin Wimmer | 45m, 3 | ★★★ Classic | ||||
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)
|
|||||||
19 | ★★★ Downwind of Angels - with Justin Wimmer, Will | 40m | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Probably my best experience leading a trad pitch ever. Sublime. I used to be so intimidated by this line it took me 3 trips to try it. While at the top I looked down and couldn't believe what I had just done, haha... For me this was not easy at all. The start was my style, felt easy and I was not as scared as I anticipated. But I was terrified of dropping it later on while doing more unusual moves (for me) involving jams. But what a fucking line. Gear is everywhere and there are jugs and rests to allow you to get those 40m clean. I got to the end of pitch 1 and started cellebrating, until Justin told me that the second pitch was harder and still above me, hahaha... Sheer determination saw me to the top after that, even with very little pieces left on my harness. It will be hard to have a better experience climbing trad in Australia. Test-piece for 19 given the length I think. Wish I could log it as an onsight, but I've seen too many people doing it before. Justin led it earlier in the day and left a piece when cleaning, but I made sure to pull it out and replace it for the real flash, haha...

Amazing stuff, and a bold lead by Justin. Pitch 1 has a lot of spice — hard moves off the ground, a daunting crux for me, and then that runout on scoops, wow! The roof in pitch 2 is bloody awesome and relatively well protected. Gotta come back for the lead, but will shit my pants probably. Justin led pitches 1 and 2, then I led the rubbish top out (grade 12?), only to see Justin arrive behind me ropeless!

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 |

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. |
