Ascensões em Harvey’s Marbles

Didn't have enough time left on the trip to top this, oh well next year

Holy moly what an epic line. Definitely well beyond my ability at the moment but cool to pull on and try some of the lower moves. Might try chip away at this one every Townsville trip

Sensational. Very inspiring line. Probably need a shoes without a hole in the right toe to hold the first move reliably. Also, need to get stronger! Definitely don't have enough power or finger strength to send this yet. Very keen to get back on this on a future trip.

2022 EDIT: turns out we had the wrong line entirely - we were going immediately right from the start holds rather than up left. Not that we got very far anyway!

She'll go. Very powerful, pretty sure I've got my send beta dialled but ran out of strength to put it together. Keen to tick this on the next Townsville trip.

Just short of the final moves, sharp crimps killed my soft fingers

Currently projecting, we think we have the sequence figured out. Just need to come at it fresh.

Nearly got it, lost my nerve at the top lip

I can hang the Slopers no problem, but chose to work the easier version today until we figure everything out.

About halfway through the crux, one or two more moves, and we should unlock the send.

I made good progress today, but I would like a spotter before committing to the final crux moves, which put me in some compromised positions.

Lots of fun! Intense and technical beta. Big reachy move to the horn. I got to the top starting halfway, and once managed to gain the horn from the starting holds. Just need to link it for the final send. Hard.

Managed to piece together a few moves, starting from the perfect high right hand with the great little knob for the RH thumb. Required a couple of pads to reach it. I'd love to see someone send this! Terrifying, but exciting. Possibly sandbagged? Seems really hard..!!

Absolutely epic line. Jumped on and linked some moves at the start, but still a long way from sending it. Looks super sustained but so fun. I can imagine it gets pretty spicy up near the top. Looking forward to coming back and trying it again.

Made good progress. I will try again with fresh fingers and toes.

I’m so close to getting this, I linked the sit start to bear Huggies but popped off on the last few moves before the top out.

So freaking close 😫

So close, I keep stuffing up on the final hard move.

Ran out of light for the day, couple of more attempts and I would have cracked it.

Got the beginning and the finish locked down. I just need to link them together.

Ultra blank slab, very hard.

Just a couple inches off that key hold I need.

Blank is an understatement

Finally figured out the sequence thanks to Caleb, but was too burnt out after a full day of climbing to top out. Will get it next time.

So close, will go back with fresh arms to try again.

Figured out the sit start, called it quits when I took a chunk out of the back of my thumb.

Super close to finishing but ran out of gas after a hard night of climbing. Super confident I will top it next session.

Figured out the sequence for the last section, just need to link it all together.

Next time!

Started raining. Kept practicing sit start

Getting closer. Reached the nasty knob but couldn't hold on

I can see where I need to go, but having trouble finding start holds.

Long traverse

WTF? We just could not figure out this sit-start. Super gritty rock.

This problem really lives up to its name. No send for me today, but I was super stoked to support Adrian Corvino while he picked up his second V5 during his short visit. 😃

Tricky.

No problems with the sit-start, looking for a linking move that will bring it all together.

Came so close to sending, need to find a high hold to exit the mantle.

Close but no cookie today.
