Grey Havens | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Birth - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | 2m | ||||
Ooft, was a battle to get this done at the end of the day, felt bad for steering Gus towards this one after trying it properly myself
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ The Trick Book - with Gus Mckelvie | 3m | ||||
Lovely techy boulder, only thing detracting is having to not dab on the neighbouring block
|
||||||
V5 Hard | ★★★ Mercury Sands - with Alexander Jones | 3m | ||||
Nice to get this one done without tearing the skin!
|
||||||
Before Time - with Alexander Jones | Don't Bother | |||||
Feels like the match start could still go for someone much stronger, but so sharp and not particularly inspiring
|
||||||
V5 ~V6 | ★★ Dexterity - with Alexander Jones | 4m | ||||
Wow this thing be sharp and tough
|

Very stoked to get this one done in a session, classically didn't feel so hard on the send go, but unsure grade-wise
|
||||||
V1 | Good while it lasted - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | 3m | ||||
Nice one mover
|
||||||
V2 ~V3 | ★★ Vlad the Impala - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | 4m | ||||
Pretty hard, but start move is lovely
|
||||||
V5 Hard | ★★★ Pat LHV - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | 8m | ||||
Awesome boulder, showed the flaws in my head-game; was getting spooked less than half way up!
|
||||||
V9 | ★★★ Stabilizer - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | |||||
Wow, this is pretty difficult just to establish
|
||||||
V10 | ★★ Bizie - with Gus Mckelvie, Alexander Jones | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
This feels awesome, quite inspired. Did the last few moves, the start is going to take some training!

V8 Hard | ★★★ Tuscan Raider β 7 attempts - with Brosnan Degenaar, Gus Mckelvie, Anthony Bristow, Luke Seymour | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Got past the crux a couple times, the heel was sticking nicely but skin was distractingly painful. Next time!

V9 | ★★★ Remember to Forget β 6 attempts - with Brosnan Degenaar, Gus Mckelvie, Anthony Bristow, Luke Seymour | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Felt solid on this, just figuring out latching the last right and it should go! Put a bit too much expectation on myself this session

Little White Rock Antiquity area | ||||||
V5 | ★★★ Antiquity - with Gus Mckelvie, Declan Coogan | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
First go after a few burns a year or two ago, feeling much better on muscly mantles
|

V7 | ★★★ Antiquated β 6 attempts - with Gus Mckelvie, Declan Coogan | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Lovely session, low expectations and honestly surprised we didnβt get rained on! Cheers lads

Pretty close for first session in a long time, skin was cooked from Bellthorpe day prior, but had some good goes!

Branch Creek Wild Moon Pool | ||||||
V8 ~V9 | ★★★ Wild Moon (Stand) β 9 attempts | 4m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
This damn boulder is teasing me, feels so tantalisingly close every visit, but always leaves me with nothing but wrecked skin. Feel much stronger on the start than last season, but sticking the throw continues to elude me. Beautiful boulder and locale as always, good reason to visit again!

Dirty Action Area | ||||||
V5 | ★★ The Anticrimp β 5 attempts - with Gus Mckelvie, Declan Coogan | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Reading the Crag description it is quite different to what seems to be implied by the guidebook, we ended up only using the seam features between the aretes which felt tough, perhaps would be easier climbing the right thing haha

Lovely boulder
|
||||||
V4 | ★★★ Pink Bits β 8 attempts - with Gus Mckelvie, George, Halai | 6m | ||||
True slab goodness, tough toward the end of a great day, especially with rain threatening. Foot kept plinging off as I got to the decent hands. I'll be back

V10 ~V9 | ★★★ Shape Shifters β 9 attempts | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Quality line! Definitely goes from bum-on-ground sit, unsure why there seems to be some stand start ascents. Felt pretty close, almost made the lunge up to the gaston flake. Will be coming back for this one for sure!!

If I could give 1.5 stars I would, kinda nice
|

V10 | ★★★ Strong Geoff β 6 attempts - with Josh Fry, Luke Seymour | 6m | ★★★ Mega Classic | |||
Wow, what an amazing boulder, maybe after a few years of training
|
||||||
V4 ~V9 | ★★ $53 - with Josh Fry, Luke Seymour | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Very very poopy, bombers holds available but has two false summits, I would not try this as my first foray into V4
|
||||||
V8 | ★★★ The Big Zee β 6 attempts - with Josh Fry, Luke Seymour | 4m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Long way off, feels steep at V8 but maybe I'm just weak. Beautiful nonetheless
|
||||||
V5 | ★★ The Orchard - with Josh Fry, Luke Seymour | 4m | ||||
Starting per the guidebook "matched on the horizontal seam" is impossible for the grade, feels V7+. Starting from what you can reach sitting feels V4/5, which seems like the more organic start.

Bit of a journey on this one!
Incredibly stoked to finally piece it together today, still felt pretty limit despite feeling like I had it quite dialled in.

Another tantalising session, punted the literal top a few times before finding a more secure beta, then too gassed to get back up there to finish it off. Was sick to see Rob Bailey get up this in a session π€― Cheers for the great day lads ππ

Couple attempts to blow the cobwebs out and remember to use the right foot
|
||||||
V8 ~V9 | ★★★ Titanic Direct β 9 attempts - with Samuel Melville | 3m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Couldn't quite get the balance right on the dyno to hold it after the traverse. Will again update post eventual send, but I think we're playing some serious silly buggers if we keep saying these are all the same grade. Either Midship stand goes down a grade, or the others go up; the only thing I can say for sure is the traverse adds a full grade for me.
|
||||||
Fri 9th Jun 2023 - Terrors Creek | ||||||
V7 ~V8 | ★★ The V7 - with Samuel Melville, Rob Bailey, Daniel Cox | ★★ Very Good | ||||
I would say this is at the very least hard for the grade, will update when I have finally sent. Turned out having a taped up split wasn't the beta. Either way great boulder
|
||||||
V10 Hard | ★★★ The Rack β 9 attempts - with Samuel Melville, Rob Bailey, Daniel Cox | ★★★ Mega Classic | ||||
Actually slapped the jug-ledge a few times, with the left blowing immediately most attempts, but had a couple burns where it was starting to engage. The final burn so much so my fingertip peeled open π
