Ascents in Tasmania by Will Grant

beautiful climbing through the bulges, just enough holds just where you need them.

Nice to get this done. Not sure if it's 23 or 24. I'm erring on the side of soft 24, but maybe I just want to get some more 24s on the board. It took me a few sessions though.

Red numbers my boy, red numbers!

Jeepers, good old fashion grade 18 this one- very modern style though. Can't say I was convincing, but managed to get through the rooflet, but that's not the end of it though. Fantastic, about time I got on it.

Finally worked out that top offwidth, still a darn hard workout. Guess if I can do it with the weight of my and Claire's shoes, I can probably do it with a trad rack. Things to think about.

Scrambled up the left side to reach the start rather than the right. Substantially harder, longer and more exposed than the correct scramble. Adequate, but not quite as much gear as I was expecting on the first pitch.

substantially easier than 19 if you have big hands, just hand jams the whole way.

Not quite an onsight as I had a go on the first couple of moves a few years ago, but the rest was new. Super cool moves, great.

Only took one ground fall from 3m, but the is route is now sent. Really useful having the alpine draw on the 2nd last bolt, makes the clip a heap easier. Nice fingerlocks at the top.

Onsight led the first and second pitch. Seconded the third pitch cleanly. Every pitch has something: from the from riding the flake like a bull on the first pitch to interesting crack and the mad flake on the second then strange shallow chimney stuff and finger jams on the third. Thanks Ewan for geeing me up to lead out across the flake on the second, if it weren't for you I certainly would have had a rest on the gear before finishing the pitch.

Sent this last trip but forgot to log it. Interesting face climbing initially with some interesting (and bad) gear placements. Nice crack at the top.

Really cool face moves. Pulled the crux bottom but way too pumped (and cold) to finish the rest of the pitch without a rest. Led the second and third pitches as well. Super dooper cool.

delightful.

hard crux up the finger crack.

At long last, the euphoria we all desire.

good wide crack. Bit dirty, just needs some more traffic.

nice jamming, interesting moves turning the roof. Would have been better if I didn't place gear deep under the roof. The crack also liked to eat our rope which was a pain.

fabulous jamming of all different sizes.

fun bridging with interesting hand techniques.

Quality face climbing.

Shame about the tree somewhat in the way. Nice moves.

Fantastic. Balancy, technical. Great moves on crazy cool rock.

Looks and feels so improbable, totally mad. Fantastic route.
