Worked it for a while, feeling fairly comfy on the first few moves, the pinch move beta from Alan is good, I can accurately heel hook but just can't put much weight on so falling into the crux. Need to be almost static. More legs!

V8 | ★★ Body Darma - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期四 16th 7月 2020 | ||||
We tried super-gluing our finger tips which seemed to work pretty well consider how many attempts we had and didn't rage quit after the 3rd attempt. Its been yonks since I've been on this, I re-figured out how to hold the left crimp, the right is still fairly painful.

V7 | ★★★ Agapanthus stand | 2m | Apex boulders | 星期四 12th 1月 2023 | ||||
Wasn't actually working thing, I didn't really look at the guide and just stand started on the obvious jug rail and then topped out first go. Probably V3 and might be a worthy problem in its own right

27 | ★★★ Chicks Dig Scars - with Michael Moore | 25m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期天 10th 9月 2023 | ||||
'Attempt' is being polite. I flailed on this hard. I've given Michael so many catches it was overdue I had a play. The first half is nice and easy but not trivial. Maybe grade 18 and I've often wondered about it being a route in its own right as the two sections are so different in style and grade. At the roof the doom music kicks in and its just ... hard. I may have done about 4 actual moves total on the head wall between sags

It toggled back and forth between thinking it was way harder than I'd thought, and then slowly unlocking it. I did the far left start, traverse through the giant ledge and up to the second slopy rail. Just need to stick the sideways dyno to the top

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期天 20th 12月 2020 | |||
An optimistic scouting missing turned into an attempt. It started sprinkling again by the time we got setup and only 1 proper burn, carefully stepping on the dry bits, but after a couple goes we were just sitting in the drizzle with soggy pads.

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Benji Dutaillis | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期六 4th 9月 2021 | |||

V6 | ★★★ Trepanation - with Benji Dutaillis, Lani, Ben | 5m | Stonehenge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期六 18th 6月 2022 | |||
After I got up most other things fairly easily I was optimistic about this and totally shut down. Start hold is missing but that's not too bad. Could consistently get into the shallow 2-pad pocket and just no idea (or memory) how to progress after that

V6 | ★★★ Licorice allsorts - with Alan Ezzy, Ben Vincent, Phil | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期六 16th 1月 2016 | ||||
Alan had a couple cracks of this with a very different sequence and he's probably sent it by now.

V6 | ★★ Sandgroper - with Nora | 4m | Middle Head | ★★ 很好 | 星期天 28th 10月 2018 | |||
Only had a couple shots got to second last hold. I seem to be developing a habit of trying things without pads or spotters. This line easily goes up maybe 8m and could conceivably link into the route project route above to the right

||||||||
V6 | ★★★ Jugtastic - with Ben Vincent | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 超级经典 | 星期天 1st 9月 2019 | |||
Jumped on this, expecting to get shut down hard as usual which I was, but somehow progress was still made. I can side pounce off the left rail, delicate right foot low to stabilize and I can just curl my tips over the lip (probably 10cm further than last times). Still need to get deep onto the top and it will be a wild swing if I can actually get there. Froth! Had a lot of goes, lost count, feeling very worked now afterwards.

Another great session with great group psyche levels. 7 pads this time . Initially felt very pumpy again. At least a dozen tries. Some progress, got a rattling fist jam twice. Got the first section pretty dialed and smooth to conserve juice. Twisted left meat hook seems to help with body position transitioning into the jam. I think the most natural "finish" will be tapping the big roof chock stone.

V6 | ★★★ Vulcanology - with Ben Vincent, Thor | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期四 2nd 7月 2020 | |||
Was totally wrecked after a big day, we almost didn't stop but Ben was keen. After he had a couple goes I mentally geared up and had a solid cracker of an attempt, essentially did the crux, got my foot placement perfect, and was rocking over into the top out and just choked. Has another 4-5 goes but none quite as good and was then just smashed. Froth!

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Benji Dutaillis, Jonny | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期六 26th 12月 2020 | |||
Another scout just to see how spoogy it was, totally mint so shoe'd up and ended up progressing to a new hight point all the way to the fist jam and then tenuously matched. Was right on the index knuckle, if I'd sunk it just an inch deeper I think it would have been done!?
|
||||||||
V6 | ★★★ Fight Club | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期二 29th 12月 2020 | |||
Solo mission with 3 pads and a portable fan. It started sprinkling as I packed the car and I drove through a couple showers. The rock was still good and had a great sess with more than a dozen burns and another foot of progress. Past the crux (first?) and into decent fist jam rest and inverted. Another 2 foot of slightly flaring hands and fists remains. The sky opened as I packed up and I walked out in drenching rain.

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期五 8th 1月 2021 | |||
Another misty drizzly day, early start with 5 pads and a rope not sure what we'd do and FC was in good condition. A wicked super session, after only one or two attempts and I was back to my furthest point again - and for all the other attempts I don't think I ever didn't get back to this point, the first crux is now dialed. After Ben showed the way I got on just after the first crux and linked all the remaining moves to the nose-twiddle finish on my first go, and after that I thought I had it in the bag as I could now do every move. Tried linking it from the start, and then again and again, with longer breaks and more prep between them slowly mangling my fists and ankles and draining the energy reserves. After one really long rest refuel and complete re-tape I had one last burn and gave it everything, and got further than ever, only 3 moves from the finish, but was totally spanked. Got some wild toe and shin cramps afterward. Heaps of hand, wrist and ankle bruises, right wrist is quite swollen now. Masochism as its finest

V4 V6 | ★★★ The crack SDS (The crack SDS project) | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期天 20th 6月 2021 | ||||
Had a bunch of attempts trying different new techniques. Tried a backstepped foot jam while laybacking which is hard but feels like I can cycle each bit up at least. Lets be honest thing isn't anywhere near a V4
|
||||||||
V4 V6 | ★★★ The crack SDS (The crack SDS project) - with Ben Vincent | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期四 16th 7月 2020 | |||
But then I found some energy for working the sit start to this crack. I kinda thought I'd done this back in the day, it's a super burly layback and if you can get through the first 50cm then it eases up. First go I did maybe 4 moves and was totally thinking I'd get it again the second time, and then it just shut us both down. Had a bunch of goes. Sit start might be more like V4-V6 as a layback, maybe less using some inverted offwidth foot jams and chicken wings if you can figure it out

V6 | ★★ Sexy Rexy - with Ben Vincent | 4m | Nowra | ★★★ 经典 | 星期六 14th 1月 2023 | |||
With only the one pad didn't give it a proper go, but jumped on and did exactly what I wanted straight off: proper sit start, through the undercling and rail up to the large pocket before it heads right. Had a couple more goes to get to the dyno pocket but was pretty juiced by then and going backwards

V6 | ★ Steppen Wolf - with Alec Eastwood | 5m | Mt Yarrowyck | ★ 好 | 星期五 28th 7月 2023 | |||

V6 | ★★★ Fight Club - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, Katrina | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期天 28th 3月 2021 | |||
Last session we wanted to scout this, but the bridge was 40cm under so we never got here. Now 2 days later the water had receded but we assumed it would be wet as the flood a week ago peaked roughly 4m above fight club! It's been almost 3 months since I've tried this, or anything at all over the rainy period. I pulled on, and could barely move and then grunted and sagged off feeling very weak.
Everyone else had a go, then I silently pulled on for the second go, and all the muscle memory returned and I flowed smoothly through the first crux, got the double inverted feet, plugged the next couple hands, then ended up doing a different sequence through the crimp to touched the nose to finish ... And then just like that it was done Almost anti-climatic and it's easy to forget how much of a battle it's been unlocking this, around 40-50 goes over 8 sessions but it feels like longer. New shoes really show how utterly trashed my old ones are, they are at least 16 years old, unsure how many resoles, and have served me faithfully. The Scarpas are dead! Long live the Scarpas! Later on I worked the extension a little, which Ben put up today as well |

This is a text book example of everything I love about bouldering. The water level was high and so our original goal of the big nugget was out, as was the king line project. We'd looked at this wall more than once before but it didn't seem that great. Michael started scrubbing and it just got more and more intriguing. But it was completely impossible! I couldn't even pull on! It was totally beyond me. Gradually refined beta and we managed to get unlock it bit by bit and after probably 15 goes got the tick! I haven't pinched, compressed, campus'ed and generally thrashed myself this hard on something in ages and I love it

Two goes on top rope and made a lot of progress. This feels very doable now compared to last time. The first roof is not too bad after all, pinch abd layback instead of jam. Second roof is perfect hands for me, the lip is just a constant grunt fest and is more of a stamina thing than pure technical difficulty. Head wall is just more constant fight and thins out and I think you’d want to just punch through it quickly up to the rest before the third little roof. Final section was surprisingly easy and flows nicely. Strained my shoulder / bicep somewhere on the first go and should have taken it easy and cooked it a bit on the second go

Top rope burn, shoulder felt great after I tweaked it a couple weeks ago here. Got to the crux clean feeling fairly solid, had a tussle with the rope stuck in the crack where I needed to be. Worked it all and did get the crux moves, but it feels like the crux isn't actually the crux and it's the thinner hands on the headwall which are doable when fresh but brutally sustained after the lip which is the extended crux. The top boulder problem I got first go last time and made a mess of it this time cause I was super cooked.

I'd had a bunch of goes on this between all of other stuff. Carol sent it first quite different to how I'd been working it in her typical high heels style which wouldn't work for me. I was ready to move on and had a couple more goes feeling super juiced, really feeling the strain in both bicep tendons from compressing pretty hard. Then one subtle swap in the order of the slaps and it all went down and felt somewhat easy. Super psyched to send this! Probably a dozen goes

V5 | ★★★ Alopecia (Alopecia project) - with Alan Ezzy | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期天 4th 10月 2015 | |||
Close but no send. Alan Ezzy sent with more direct chicken wing move, almost worked for me and probably will next time but so spanked trying it. Lots of weird muscles hurt now

V5 | ★ Chock face - with Alan Ezzy, Mark Kawun, Carol Lee | 4m | Kwiamble National Park | ★ 好 | 星期天 24th 4月 2016 | |||
Worked this with Carol for ages and slowly chipped away at it. Probably could have gone if we had more time

V5 | ★★★ Swingers Club (barn door project) - with Ben Vincent, Alan Ezzy, Phil | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期一 20th 11月 2017 | |||
This thing is sick! Didn't really seem possible at first but it will go. You can't have too many pads, 5 was ok but I think 8 would be ideal as you aren't quite sure in which direction you'll ping off

V5 | ★★ Water birth project - with Alan Ezzy, Ben Vincent, Phil | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期四 7th 12月 2017 | |||
Stoked to find this gem and scrub it up, and more stoked as it was tantalizingly close to getting sent. Probably half a dozen cracks, defeated by the beastly rock over finish.

V5 | ★★★ Alopecia - with Phil, Ben Vincent | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期三 13th 2月 2019 | |||
Had a bunch of goes, from the sit start and from the lip. I can only just span to the lip from the SDS and haven't stuck it yet. I tried a few different ways and worked my right shoulder and elbow pretty well. Ben and Phil both did it twice, Phil looking totally graceful the second time

V5 | ★★ Magic garden - with Vaschka Koboroff, Andrew Woolley | 6m | Mt Yarrowyck | ★★★ 经典 | 星期天 23rd 6月 2019 | |||
Not a serious attempt, this scares the willies out of me. The fallen tree is a bad fall, need to move that somehow

V5 | ★★★ Rail against the machine Direct Start - with Ben Vincent | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 超级经典 | 星期天 1st 9月 2019 | |||
Worked this for ages, trying various hand jams, fist jams, foot locks and generally had a ton of fun and burnt a lot of energy

V5 | ★★ The Landing Zone - with Thor, Mark, Car | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★ 好 | 星期四 24th 10月 2019 | |||
I can barely pull on. Lots of different but slimpy holds to choose from, not clear how to tackle it.

V5 | ★★ The Landing Zone | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★ 好 | 星期天 3rd 5月 2020 | |||
A pulled on a few times on the higher holds, and almost caught the top dynamically. I can barely even hold the lower start holds. But enough to make me want to come back and work this again.

V5 | ★★★ Swingers Club (barn door project) - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 5m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期四 7th 5月 2020 | |||
Aarrh this thing is so good! Got onto the top arete a few times and it just teases you and demands millimetre precision and balance. After about the 3 'one more time' Benji sent it in perfect style and history has been made. We built up a much better log base this time, with 5 pads

V5 | ★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期天 31st 5月 2020 | |||
Had a few goes and not really feeling the jams. The cups naturally worked again for me, and on the last go got a pretty deep arm bar past the bottle neck and only a couple inches off the glory hold. Kinda kicking myself I didn't give it more
|
||||||||
V5 | ★★ E7 - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis, Alan Ezzy, Thor | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期四 4th 6月 2020 | ||||
Had a few goes, was really great to see this get sent as I've never understood how it went. Ape and good footwork needed
|

V5 | ★★★ Sunset Aliens (Chestburster) - with Ben Vincent, Thor | 8m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期四 2nd 7月 2020 | |||
I was pretty cooked and couldn't hold the thing crimp so I worked dynoing to the jug and was about an inch away. I might be able to stick the less good lip just under the jug

V5 | ★★★ 50 calories in 50 seconds - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期天 20th 12月 2020 | |||
Water level was fairly high into the cave so did a bit of rock building first. Afters the boys had a few goes thought I should too. Probably 5 or so goes, starting from the higher fist jam, had one fairly decent go (the first?) where I got pretty high and kinda arm barring. After some discussion we have consensus that this is not a V3 and probably more like V5

V5 | ★★ Thrutching the Goat - with Ben Vincent, Benji Dutaillis | 6m | Beulah | ★ 好 | 星期六 3rd 4月 2021 | |||
Had a go at the start but didn't get into it properly. The B's had worked most of it but were struggling with the finish section, which I was happy to jump on and flash with my weird caving tactics.

V5 | ★★ Riverside reflections (Riverside project) - with Ben Vincent, carol lee | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期天 12th 9月 2021 | |||
This is a sick little find, a hard gritty traverse / compression with sting in the tail

V5 | ★★ Riverside reflections - with Ben Vincent, carol lee | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★ 很好 | 星期六 25th 9月 2021 | |||
Had a great session working this and got the start really dialed and was consistently doing all the traverse. Have also done the Benji finish but was just too juiced to link it all together. Lost a bit of skin. Felt just smashed afterwards.

V5 | ★★★ Space jam - with carol lee, Michael Moore | 4m | Upper Gara Gorge | 星期二 27th 12月 2022 | ||||
Another 5-10 goes, lots of micro beta improvements and can just tickle the salmon with left hand into the high jam but still not quite into the good spot.

V4 V5 | ★★★ Shawarma - with Amy O'Toole, Alan Ezzy | 3m | Upper Gara Gorge | ★★★ 经典 | 星期天 4th 10月 2015 | |||
Such a great problem
