Ascensions de My Friend Flipper

Nails! New proj potential

thought i was going for the onsight after what i thought was the crux, but fell going for the last bolt. very balancy and fingery

Incredible

Owch my skin. Owch my pride. This did not go well

Took 4 attempts over 2 sessions to link it together. Lack of skin didn’t assist in getting it done. Holds are V sharp! Fun route though!

Techy footwork on mingers that felt initially out of my style. Persist with it and a lovely sequence emerges that is a joy to climb. Learnt a lot on this.

Felt good with a little time away. Close but distinct lack of cigar. Watched Ryan basically bag it with the smoothest moves. It'll go

Not your everyday Grampians climb! TRICKY. So unlike any climb I’ve done in the park. It’s extremely cryptic. On first burn it feels totally impossible but you unlock something new every time. I think in total I put about 4 sessions of effort into this one only being able to put a burn or 2 in each time. It’s for sure the hardest 26 I’ve ticked so far. Todays send went hilariously. Ryan talked me through some crucial beta for the bottom, probably should have refreshed myself on the moves up top as the only thing keeping me on up there was my unwillingness to let go. Completely pumped to the bones had me dancing my feet around like a penguin but managed to pull through. It wasn’t pretty but damn it was fun! Mega. Aesthetics aside, I really do think this one’s a classic.

It doesn’t look like much, but it’s fab. Super techy climbing that keeps you working with a run out mossy exit. Fun!

Was v scared today, worked through the moves much quicker than last time, think to tick this one my head game needs to be impeccable

Oh boy what a line, this is one of my favourite climbs of all time.

Pleasant crimping, came down half way for lunch and a re-gassing

This is a hidden gem and people should be talking more about it 😂 Happy to send it after my second try on the day.

Got almost to the 4th bolt twice, refined the top sequence. Really nice sustained climbing.

All moves done with some really good links. Definitely coming back soon.

Such a good line where all the moves flow through a series of never ending crimps. The crux is really cool with tricky sequence with the whole route being sustained.

Round 4 - clean from the "rest" x 2

Getting damn close! Made it to but cheeks clean but feet slipped

Sharp crimps to smaller crimps then a bulgy sequence. Got it on my third try, good fun face climbing!

Twice in two parts not clipping bolts. Damn paz caught me up the first time! Time to start the redpointing mode!

Account opened - moves thru to 5th bolt - very cool route

That's all the moves sorted! Time for some linkage

The account is open! Pretty cool route
