Ascents in Victoria by Josh Ellis

Better than it looks!

Lovely sport route without the clipping! Just missed the dead point on the flash go.

Warmup

Made some progress at the cost of skin! Maybe doable in a few sessions but minging on the fingers/skin!

Same difficulty as “Sick Nutter” and “Oyster” I reckon. In fact, all boulders are the same grade I reckon… 😂

Hardest V5 in the universe 😂

Warmup.

Barely got my ass of the ground!

Not sure about how “good” that crimp is!

Could barely establish lol

Campus bro

Night sesh after a day of being rained in the van. Do I get extra points for topping out?

Figured out the beta, but burned out my front 2 on the right hand. Should go next time I reckon.

Couple of goes

Harder than the V8!

Willie gave me some classic Willie beta that I didn’t think would work, pulled on the next day in the (hot/sweaty) daylight, went first go!

Feels impossible when you get it wrong, not too bad when you get it right!

So beta intensive, but very cool!
