Repeat for the paparazzi. Did something weird at the top and missed a hold and did a funky rockover to finish

22 | ★★★ Cloud Grazer — 2 attempts - with Michael Moore | 18m, 6 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Had one flash pumpy burn, figured out the start which ended up being the quite straight forward and exactly how I originally thought it would go. Had a second hang at the 3rd bolt which is probably the true crux. Clean second go. The end feels spicy but you just keep moving and its totally fine.

22 | ★★ Jet B - with Todd Free | 10m, 3 | ★ Good | |||
Clean on top rope first go, then took maybe 4 goes to get it clean on lead. Everything is subtle, every try I used different holds and took a while to settle on a sequence

Great route with interesting crux, the top section needs more cleaning and wigged me out and I finished up to the right instead

I loved this to bits, one of the best sends of the trip and good to project something. In the end felt much easier than some of the much lower graded things that we've tried elsewhere. Great way to finish off the trip

23 | ★★★ Green Jam - with Michael Moore, Todd Free | 13m | ★★★ Classic | |||
YUS! 3 goes, first was typical flash pump first route of the day. Second was a pretty close one hang. Three is a charm! It is still winter but the sundeck was cooking

16 | ★★ Frog in a Blender - with Michael Moore, Simon Porter | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Short and lovely. As we were packing up my new downie blew into the water and Simon was a champ and went for a brisk swim. Walk out was hard, slow, cramped up a lot
|

15 | ★★ Get Nuked - with Michael Moore, Simon Porter | 7m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Lovely rock, perfect first lead for Simon. If only this went for 5 pitches

Second go did it almost pure layback and much easier. A couple jams at the roof to rest, burned through the second layback section and got a no hands rest in the possum hole. Such a nice route

Central climbing areas Mad Woman's Breakfast Area | ||||||
20 | ★★ Mad Woman's Breakfast - with Benji Dutaillis | 10m | ★★ Very Good | |||
A sneaky 3 hour gorge trip before school pickup. Slowly chipped away over ~5 attempts. Benji worked it and sent it quite smoothly. I butchered it, did the crux and then fell off and got rope burn on my elbow. Next go I sent it despite butchering it even more. I didn't have a single solid jam just pure desperate levitation grovel. Grade is definitely harder than Savage Amusement (supposedly 22), Prime Cut 20, Luce 21. It's not 23, but I think 22 isn't unreasonable. Feels maybe on par with Pub Grubs at 3rd breakaway.

17 | ★★ Your Anger Is A Gift - with Ben Vincent | 10m | ★ Good | |||
Ben led this and we thought it was an FA. I pink pointed and my sequence was very different, I had a solid knee bar in from the first move (of course I did) and I felt very secure dragging that back step up the whole way until you can stand for the easy vertical crack part

Second Breakaway | ||||||
18 | ★★ Fingers - with carol lee | 8m | ★★★ Classic | |||
I loved this route, naturally clean fist crack to perfect hands and just a bit of finger spice a the end. And a perfect clean topout. Led on Alan's gear but moved the gear around at the crux as it was in the way

26 | ★★ Three Men and A Ladder - with carol lee, Ben Vincent, Alan Ezzy, Thor, Nathan | 10m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||
Completely intimidated by this but quickly also got very psyched. Wild moves through the roof and proper knee bar tactics are gold. After the second burn a bee stung me on the right calf. Got it third try
|

Sun 18th Jun 2017 - Mt Coolum | ||||||
25 | ★★ Hung Like A Fruit Bat - with Ben Vincent | 8m, 5 | ★★★ Classic | |||

Downstream climbing areas The Sea Cliff | ||||||
25 | ★★ Bullet with Butterfly Wings - with Alan Ezzy | 7m, 4 | ★★ Very Good | |||
Sick! I haven't climbed here in roughly 17 years, and the last time was hilarious as a complete bumbly with no guidebook attempting one of these routes and failing epically. Maybe half a dozen burns. Is great to siege a hard sports route, it's been a long long time...
