Reminiscent of the totem pole, if the tote was a towering pile of choss. Way thinner than I imagined and a great day out on a crazy feature, fell off the first move on the 3rd pitch

Really cool, got a bit scared on the ground up attempt but dialled it in next shot. Burly boulder with a spicy exit high above your last piece

Pantano Balconcito
8a Easy Tequila sunrise Sport 38m Mega Classic
5 goes over 2 days. Epic route that kept me fighting the whole way, super technical crux that took a while to figure out but wasn't to bad once dialled, followed by epic wall climbing and a droppable finish. Definitely a soft touch, but its still the hardest thing I tried this trip and it really pushed me, so very happy regardless

7c Barreiros — 2 attempts Sport 35m Mega Classic
Somehow was able to piece this together after a prolonged dog. Incredible movement, varied and sustained up a beautiful face, absolutely desperate at the top. Felt pretty honest for 7c compared to the others I've done here

Super techy slab boulder at half height followed by an eternity of enduro tufas. Was absolutely flamed at the top, probably soft as with most things here, but I found it hard and had a bloody good time regardless

Should’ve done ages ago but always got distracted by other things. Nice to climb it relatively easily today, some really cool moves on this one. Probably loses a star from the painful cut loose

29 Greed Sport 25m, 11 Classic
I almost lost my mind in the process but it's finally done! Chuffed to close this chapter after countless sessions of trying and falling at the very top. A great new route that adds full value resistance climbing on top of an already established classic. Thanks for equipping this one Redanon it's a gem! I hate quantifying my experience into a number, but I think 29 is a fair punt, get on it people!

22 Squeakeasy Trad 30m Mega Classic
Took a huge whinger off this years ago, was nice to finally come back and do it. Didn't feel much easier and was definitely fighting the pump near the top. Thought the gear was all really good it just took a bit of hanging around and getting pumped to sort out

2nd go. Very cool sequence through the roof, the death trap groove is quite fun once you get a nice sequence dialled. A few loose bits but mostly good!

Very cool sequence once you figure it out. Barely squeezed it in a session after many failed burns, one ending after being swarmed by wasps post crux 😂 finished at the hat chains for a bit more value

22 Barad Dur Mixed trad 20m, 1 Very Good
Always wanted to lead this after toproping it years ago. The top crack is incredible and suprisingly sustained however the route is definitely let down by the chossy bottom half. Felt fairly sketchy up until the bolt, then glorious fingerlocks to the top!

 
Sun 2nd Oct 2022 - Arapiles
The Pharos and Surrounds The Pharos South Face
24 24 R Delirium Tremens Trad 30m Very Good
What a journey! After watching Alex's onsight I opted for toprope inspection before going for the lead. A thin, technical sequence with crazy exposure and a distressing lack of protection. Won't forget that one in a while! The crux is incredible, just a shame the rest of the route is a bit average. Big fall potential but you could maybe be okay with a really good belay.

Very psyched to do this ground up. radical crux down low followed by insecure and dynamic slaps up the arete, leading into the mental crux at the top. Sustained and engaging the whole way! Easily one of Adelaides finest and a great vision by Stephanie for the FA.
