Ascensions de Beer, Boobs and Jerky contenant Bêta

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.

Cool! Started to get a bit wet.

Insanely cool!

Decided it was a good idea to take a big victory whip then realized boinking was necessary... Proceeded to attempt princess step up the rope and got pumped out of my brain after ascending the rope a metre or so... Climbing back down the rope I managed to tie a knot around my foot and got to dangle there with circulation slowly being cut off while Munya laughs and calls me a gumby... Good times...

This is actually the first Coolum route I was able to send without needing perfectly refined micro-beta... Felt nice to be completely terrified and uber pumped while clipping the chains. Would recommend

How good is that feeling when you figure out good bets for all the moves and can just starting giving it red hot goes… love it

I couldn't get to the last clip. Hard but fun climb til there, interesting moves, every clip was a bit desperate. Left lots of bruises on unusual spots. First time Coolum.

This was kinda cool, I liked it! Quick little warm up

Great little route. Big throw at the end makes it exciting. Keen to try two stroke.

So fun coming back to this one. Really fun Dyno to some good knees. Few big moves at the end. Already thinking about the 26 link-up from fruit bat haha

Cleaning

Really cool climb. Feels like 3 gym problems stacked on top of each other. Should see more action.

Super cool boulder problem to get off the ground. The moves after the crux were more strenuous than I was expecting. Jugs were facing the wrong way.

Really enjoyed this one and only just got to the end before the pump kicked in.

Figured out the bouldery crux statically but otherwise flailed on this too

Spat off the top in the worst conditions of the decade. w/Neil Monteith

Only just pulled this off—forearms were exploding as I rounded the lip. If the anchors were still in steep territory, I'd have been out of there. As soon as you commit to setting up for the move to the jugs, it's on like donkey kong. Not the most amazing route, but definitely fun! Would say 24 is bang on.

completely blown out skin and forearms from the day before. Stoked to stick the dyno!

Great climb but plenty of rests needed.

Interesting climb to say the least. Clipped the 3rd bolt, then realised I was facing outward, looking down at my belayer, with the rope running across my chest in front of me. Seemed like a good sequence up until then at least.

Pushed on until I got shutdown trying to do the long move to the jugs.

Funky moves! Pretty fun crawling along that ledge haha. Fun heelhook moves along the fins.

Dyno is brilliant. Fins above are savagely sharp in places

4th shot. Worked out a hard static sequence for the crux. Great climbing and a interesting finish. Definately harder than fruit bat.

Felt harder than fruitbat! Need to work crux but should go next weekend

Quick dog, just to jugs. Crux felt really hard.

Ok so that was hard.

Reachy move below anchor.

Played around trying to catch shark fins

Second with lots of rests cleaning draws really tired by this stage but worked a sequence to get to the chains. Big day

First send attempt went clean from the ground and just missed the last hold over the edge before running out of juice. Pretty happy to clip all bolts from the ground.

Inspired with nicks send got on and had a look at the holds and moves climbs well after the traverse

End of the day to get the draws off

working out the last bit

Thank you Santa! and everyone who encouraged and belayed, and Mick for eventually getting out of bed. Stoked

Forgot how to finish

clean to the last bolt, its gotta go soon!

draws on

Came backto try do it after ticking Screaming, and just squeaked it in! good fun.

had a play to suss it out with Nick Foster

Maybe next time! Sweet day to be in the cave

Got it! Felt easy on the send - just cruising through the crux, past the whole overhung arete and that balancy last move - almost felt unreal!! 4th shot overall - quietly stoked!!

Fought for this putting the draws on - came down feeling a bit green and dizzy - but got it clean after getting the jug on the lip on the send and not managing to clip.

Intricate sequence and novelty heel hook, knee scum saw the crux go static, felt great! Upper section is actually great fun!! This might go next shot...

First shot, got pretty spanked but getting a sequence - got the move with maybe a little rope tension.

Every crag needs a novelty climb and this is it. Pop and rock move to get started and then weird and fun ledge traverse to an awkward move to gain the killer fin jugs above. Last route of the day so feeling a little tired. Great fun.

Getting the draws off for a visitor

Trying out top sequence

Barely held together the dyno, but finished comfortably
