warm ups..

warm ups..

what a sweet 18! not so often you get such an awesome grade 18 route as steep and with such great climbing from start to finish! will be jumping back on this many times im sure!

sustained, steep climbing on great holds. loved it! first 22 for the day, 2nd shot... pretty stoked

last climb of the day. way more gassed than i thought i was. Stuffed about on the slab and then just had nothing left. The top steep jug romping is pretty sweet!!

putting draws on, working out sequences..

Messed up from the very beginning of the headwall.. feet backwards, clipping from stupid positions... fail!!

Everything just went as plan and got my first 25 send!!!!!!!!! soooo stoked!!!! and even more stroked that it only took me 2 shots!!

Having a play at the end of the day to check out holds/moves for maybe next trip.. thought the top 2/3rds was super fun.... not tooo excited the top section.

A quality climb! 2nd 22 send for the day. 2nd shot. thought i had the onsite, but just couldnt get the arms to keep pulling!

First route done at pages! The top steep section was fun and pumpy enough to give me an idea of what sort of day i was in for!

Awesome day of adventure! pitch 3 put the wind up me a bit, but loved climbing a new mountain! lead 1,3,5

Awesome!!

racing the sunset.

offwidth climbing 101... cheers AJ

had a squeezing fun time on this pitch!!

favourite climb at frog so far!!! amazing line, cool positions, great gear and perfect way to finish the weekend!

loved it so much, thought id go back for seconds

possibly my new favourite route at frog!

2nd trad lead. was pretty happy with some good stances to try fumble my way through finding correct size gear. a little spooked by what i thought was a snake in one of the cracks 3/4 up...

backdate onsight

Onsight a few months ago, repeat seconding accent

must learn to jam properly

noises i never knew i could make

a 40m extension would be bliss.

nice problem. pretty easy, but quite fun

First Trad lead, trying to place as much gear as i can to work out what fits where...

exciting, pumpy and stretched out moves at the start to a bit more awesomeness above.

going for the onsight. was feeling a bit sketchy and unsettled but still climbed ok. (until i got tired and then all technique went out the window) def need to work on crimping endurance if i am even to have a chance of sending this route! and maybe pre placed draws!

3rd shot. felt good to get my body position worked out on the high step and then went for the send.

if the top wasnt so good i would prob never climb this route again. shitty bottom, awesome top

got to last move on TR. need to give it another crack soon.

finally lead it!!!!! cruised up it pretty easily!!!

really like the steeper section towads the top
