Ascents in Melbourne and Surrounds

Surprisingly tricky finger crack move I couldn't commit to, with not much feet to work with.

Had a few runs working out moves, falling in different spots. This climb has some elegant sequences

Not particularly memorable. The crux also seemed to be the moves immediately following the ledge halfway up the climb, which was uncomfortable.

I almost had it! Slipped a foot at the last bolt. Definitely going to go next time. I had less time to hang and stare at the glued rock so I liked the climb more this time lol. Second attempt was a non-starter, just tried again before the RMIT group took the draws down but my fingers were too tired to give it a real go.

I felt the crux was the desperate pumpy moves on relatively poor holds in the last 4 metres of the climb. Pro at the top seemed marginal, and I finished 4 metres above my last piece, which was a half-cocked #5 C4. Topping out was a test of my composure as I was so exhausted that the jugs at the very end felt hard to rest on before I mustered up the energy to haul myself over the lip.

Flake seems super super sketchy, I have no doubt you could pull it off with little or no effort.

Toes on fire

Used my first RP's. Struggled for way too long trying to place a '1' :')

Somewhat committing start, then enjoyable moves with the reach-around crack

It finally goes! Stoked for first of the grade on this incredible line
