Ascensions dans Mt Stapylton Campground comme Hang dog

I think it could’ve gone with another burn but we had to head off. Insanely fun climbing. Genuinely one of my favourite crags at the Grampians - some nice powerful routes but also good variety when you’re not feeling it. Bit of choss but that’s ok. Thank you bolters!

This was sport!

rested below the crux because i couldn't make the psyche necessary to high clip

got past the 4th bolt first try and then dropped it (F**k!) then attempted it another 3 times and couldnt figure out how i managed to get past the 3rd bolt. Ill come back to it.

Would have liked to have gotten the send but got washed out before I could get back on

Eugh. Humbling. Climb isn’t that bad I’m just a silly sausage. Jugs into a one move wonder. Got too excited because of how close the onsight was so didn’t take consecutive attempts seriously. Then when I switched on my fingers were gone. Needed to drill the crux move after the first burn and take proper rests between attempts. Lesson learnt. Sick route though.

Tried twice but fell from crux both tries.

Got a new high point on this one. Getting closer....

Worked out beta while putting a draws. Tried again but was too tired to do even the frist darw to the second.

Fun day out with friends. Still polishing the final traverse crux, very technical! Getting close to a send go.

A whole lotta burl combined with subtle technical adjustments made the crux move go

Will be a great line once cleaned up. I pulled a hold out on my attempt between 4th and 5th bolt so be careful! Belay to the right.

Fun but desperately thin!

Two little hidden pockets to clip off!

I reckon this can go soon! 🤞

Such a quality route bummed I didn't get it

Start is a bit boring but really amps up after the 4th bolt. Roof section is amazing, very beta intensive. Much harder if you’re on the shorter side. Managed to make it out to the first lower off at the lip, will return for the full tick.

got it with a single fall on my onsight attempt. came back like 6 months later to try and get it clean but couldnt even get to the 3rd bolt and had to bail altogether. was really demotivating to see anti-progress rather than progress, but the climb is constantly exciting

i stuggled to commit getting over the lip, pumped out and fell, everyone else who followed on tr seemed to find great holds and went for it, i just didnt have it that day. exciting climb tho

technically no onsight cuz i did it after traversing from the 21, which i fell on

Good line. Worth coming back for on a cooler day.

Fun seeing this go from potential, to top rope, to bolted to sent. Wish I was there for the FA! Perfect amount of steepness and powerful moves, this will give the gym junkies something to cruise.

Could well have enjoyed this if I had anything left at all! I slipped off several times because I had no energy left and my hands just weren't working anymore. (All-in-all, the day was a thoroughly successful reminder of why I need to climb more than once or twice annually 😅)
