Ascents in World by Michael Ave

I try to rate ascents close to what they would be classified outdoors. Gym ratings are often a bit generous. This was a 21 by the gym score. Black near arch.

Fall prac.

Fun, bouldery and pumpy. Just be careful and safe at the beginning!

Pink AME

Green Traverse

First somewhat serious taller trad lead, still baby steps. Didn’t find heaps of gear placements and I ran it out a bit at times but the holds are all secure.

First multipitch trad climb

First trad climb

Giving this ascent a 10 as did the last pitch in the dark. Always bring a headtorch. That lesson only needs to be learned once.

First time leading the majority of a big multipitch, learned heaps. Good experience.

Scenic and fun, with some interesting moments. Really nice surprise to have a long multipitch at Mt Macedon. Amazing view near the top, beautiful.

Getting more trad hours in, my gear placements are feeling better.

Fun climb

Yessssssss Red point. Also first clean 23 on lead!

I try to rate ascents close to what they would be classified outdoors. Gym ratings are often a bit generous. This was a 21 on gym rating. Was a bit pumped but it’s super achievable.

Pretty spicy for an indoor 21. Happy to tick the redpoint on this one.

Hard to say, the crux is very interesting and tests your slab skills but for the most part I found this a very cruisy climb. Not sure if the assigned grade of 20 is a little high but I think it might be.
