Oops making TikToks is too fun.

I walk along the…things that stop cars from driving too close to the footpath. It’s a balance challenge on fast forward, then I go back. The last step is the longest. I make it! In my army green crocs with climbing gibbets.

This was a fun purple climb. I did it twice but needed to project the beta with friends to work it out. And that reachy left hand move made me fall a few times. A really nice 4 at Cutloose on the Gold Coast. I’m still sore after all the other overhang climbing, lol.

Lovely night out in the rain in Brizzy. I’m glad it cooled down.

Fun green boulder. Big moves to jugs! This feels super easy for the grade (4) but it does have slightly dynamic moves and weird feet newbies might find hard. (?)

Climbing a green indoor climb then down climbing the orange which is a fun one too.

Got this solar little water fountain to aerate my tadpole swamp and the warning says it might kill me if I use it too long or wrong. I’m doooomed.

Happy to (sort of) send this 6! Didn’t hold the top for long but I’m proud I used the volumes for my feet & matched feet on the higher one with no left hand hold.

Climbing a red indoor slab boulder. Tricky start with a sort of knee bar.
Small holds and the feet are fairly steep volumes.
