Ascents by Jason McCarthy

Mainly bolt to bolt. Most sustained route at the crag, tricky. Amazing limestone like rock at the bottom.

TOok a little bit to remember the crux beta with no chalk. Pumped off the top on the 2nd shot. Unreal.

Awesome to be back here. As good as I remember, other than the bolts I put out right to far.

Great to repeat 8yrs after I did the FA. I was pumped, great sustained route.

Mega classic for the 1st pitch, good for the rest. Last pitch was terrifying, if something broke I was convinced I would free fall to the valley with a chopped roped.

Repeat, leading oposite pitches than last time. Pitch 2 is still the crux pitch. Really enjoyed pitch 3 this time.

Great to finally tick this one off.

Pitch 1 only. Great stuff, scary slippery start.

Awesome, following jenna.

Great route. Had to work for it on the 1st pitch crux.

Terrifying 2nd bolt clip. Wheels fell off. Grampians slimpers are hard when its damp.

Wheels fell off. Grampians slimpers are hard when its damp.

Hard moves for the first two bolts and then pretty cruisy. Only one go, need drier conditions for those slopers.

Retro flash to the last move. Such a cool route. cooked myself.

Slipped off the crux coz i'm a bluies climber who can't trust his feet. Came down and to the top. Super cool.

Very exciting pulling moves like that way above gear.

Great to clean this past dog up.

Quite exciting with some fiddly gear and suss flake.

Great stuff.

This looked terrifying and nearly walked away. Climbed way better than it looked.

Great route but very cruxy. Couldnt do the traverse crux.

Inspected and placed gear when cleaning Christian Crack. Super exciting up the arete.

On jennas gear. Awesome.

Repeat. Remembering how to climb trad.

Awesome. Sketchy start and then continuous absorbing climbing

Two goes up this having a look. Couldn't fathom the dyno move or the move on the head wall to gain the thin flake. Well done Lee! Strong folk should jump on this.

Started with the 2nd bolt clipped and my LH on the upper side pull (spent 2 days working the start a day couldn't touch it). After clipping the chains I finished up year of the gun for and awesome finish.

Stoked to get the OS. Just one mini moonboard v3 benchmark

Super fun but SOFT

In the rain = nails

Repeat.Probably the best multi in the bluies. Fell off the start on 2nd and fell back to the tree, pulled back on and went to the anchors. One of the hardest, sustained grade 23 pitches around. The rest of the pitches went without any problems but still needed to put in a lot of effort. Brilliant!

Only pitch 1 and 2 and then rapped off. Worth the effort on mostly good rock.

Pretty bloody awesome!

3 more shots. High point 2 moves from the jug at the top. It's a pleasure to have to come back again.

Sadomastication Version 2. 3 shots today, totally destroyed. High point was just before the right traverse.

3rd shot high point to the last bolt. Such an awesome route. Only let down by some gluey holds.

Climbs heaps better than it looks from the ground. Might of been more memorable in the past if it had less bolts?

Some terrible binary breaker bolt placements, threaded one with a sling. Didn't climb as good as it looks.

Super cool. Pity its not longer.

Popped off the crux. Super techy bit of slab.

Probably doesn't climb as good as it looks.
