Ascensiones en Australia como Hang dog

Slung the carrot for funsies. Nice moves!

Fell at the top, went too far left and couldn’t reach the pocket.

Probably a skill issue

Pretty full on route shame about the glue

Eventually got passed the very tricky start but there was alot of hang time. Think it's a touch harder than the given grade. Looking forward to doing this again.

Was feeling quite close until i broke a fairly crucial hold. It still goes although it’s a little harder now…

Find have time for a second shot. Amazing climbing, will be back

Slipped out of the offwidth chimney, decked on the ledge below, bounced the back of my helmet-less head off the opposing wall. It was a great time. I had to take my helmet off because I literally couldn't fit my fat head through the chimney with the helmet on.

Mistake #1: putting a quickdraw on the #5 C4 I had in the roof. Go direct and make sure your belayer has you on a tight leash.

Mistake #2: not taking off the helmet before trying to squeeze my melon through the chimney. Had to awkwardly take it off while fighting for my life.

Mistake #3: not having a #3 C4 ready to place after getting my head through.

What kind of sadist grades this as an 18 by the way?

Pigs are pumped

This was the best climb we’ve done. Lots of great holds and a nice heel hook at the beginning. Definitely made us realise how valuable a stick clip would be. Off to buy one this week lol. Didn’t fall at all on this route but had to take about 4 tests on the rope. Not used to outdoor vertical climbing …

Cracker sunset, fluorescent pinks and oranges accompanied by singing lyrebirds in the valley below - magic. Hung the draws then fell off the last move, really like this route

Shak'n in my booties, fell before anchors

Fun end of day attempt in the pouring rain... Felt like I was climbing well... and then I found the crux!

Took a few biiiiiiig falls on the crux undercling move. When I stuck it (replete with flying drive-by) I felt like a boss!

Short (if climbed without linking into the upper pitch) but great rock, and very strange (engaging) moves. I'm happy to call this one 25 with my physiology.

pulled the top crux yahoo!

All clean to anchor, just did not want to commit to clipping them. Found a toe hook to clip them after sitting. Serious fun

Tough couple of moves off the ledge. Blue totem saving the ankles 💪

Really messed up the right foot beta and needed quite a few sits working it out. Find this style quite hard to work out

Fun climb

Had a bit of assistance at the crux from belayer

Big move towards the top! Don't know if it was first climb jitters or what but had to take

Nice little route, so close today but got dark

Really fun! Need to practice the moves at the top

Eww.

Jumped on Sam’s mega proj. Desperately tried to flash it out of spite but I’m pretty sure he sprayed some bad beta to throw me off. Either way I’m certain I’d have been short roped if I were to make it to the chains.

Can’t believe Sam has been Coolum 6 times and this is the only route he’s touched. Pure trash. Sam is mentally ill.

Finally jumped on this after being on the list for so long... Wow, what a climb, it starts brutally hard, then into some ok holds and into some very cool and hard boulders towards the top. Definitely a classic and on the hard end of 26's in my humble opinion
