Well that was a surprise. Two goes today, first go finally worked out short persons way to do crux, then dave dislodged the key hold on his attempt. Still hadn’t got through the low bulge clean. Second go I dynoed the low bulge then somehow kept going and found myself through crux without a lot of recollection of the top, but I had identified two good resting stances so gunned for them. Shame it’s going to rain for the rest of our time in Tasmania, didn’t think I had a lead shot in me today.

First attempt, would probably need a few sessions on it to get clean, learning to milk rests and remember all the moves. The best way I could see to do the crux off a bridge doesn’t work for me, as can’t reach the next holds so need to refine a reliable sequence.

Jugged the first pitch after a late start ( done it previously). Second pitch took some figuring out, but it is all there. Third pitch I just couldn’t seem to initiate the crux stand up. Keen to clean up these pitches and do more up there. Stonking light and temperature today. The whole 3 pitches are great sustained climbing.
