This is the hardest rock climb. There are no climbs harder. I don’t know how many goes this took me but it was a lot and also too many. I dropped the top twice. I fell off the finishing jug. I hung upside down from my feet. It is a rock climb.

Morning Glory Wall Area Churning Buttress
5.13a Churning In The Wake - with Mary, Adrian, Hunter, Mike, The Strong Smith Rock Locals Sport 20m, 7 Mega Classic
Just managed it fourth go of the day and last go before the snow was coming in. It felt quite hard after a year of bouldering. I think I spent maybe four days on it and had a number of goes somewhere in the mid to high teens. The shot before I sent ended with me not quite catching the clipping jug at the anchors, peeling off backwards, and whipping the entire route having skipped the last bolt. Exciting! I hopped back on soon after because i’d hurt my ankle a bit hitting the wall and didn’t want it to stiffen up. Classic scenes in the park.

26 The Kangaroolity of Women (Project Paul) - with Paul Frothy Thomson, Michael Moore Sport 15m, 11 Very Good
An outrageous feature the whole way. Great climbing marred only by sharpness but will for sure be worth a lap when it’s done.

 
24 Is it About a Bicycle? - with Paul Frothy Thomson, Michael Moore Sport 10m, 9
Flash but for a “gentleman’s sit” at the no hands rest just off the ground to avoid stealing Paul’s route. Fun!

25 Grape Power (Link-up) - with Jack, Liz Chong, Tristan Sport 20m, 8 Classic
The best version of these two routes even though it is just a link-up, and probably easier than the originals too. A classic warm up. First go but I have done both halves.
