You've definitely got it Tom looks super close. Cant wait for some strong foriegn climber to come and try it as well that would be cool. After you have done it of course.
I'm hoping it'll happen sooner or later. Just need to keep on track and not get too ahead of myself. Thanks for the support :). I'd love to see what others think
Love the self-talk! Reminds me of a short scene in Dosage 5 when Obe Carrion tells himself "Come on, Obe!" after falling. Don't know why that scene sticks out in my head so much lol
Looking forward to more of this journey! Fighting with lack of form and not even wanting to get on my project. The patient self talk is something I should learn from (but I'm quickly getting older, time is becoming a thing..)
Looking forward to more days too 😀. Hope you can find your mojo again. Sometimes a short amount of time (2 weeks maybe) is enough to rekindle the fire. Feels counterintuitive when you feel the time pressures, but it works. Or just changing up what a day of climbing looks like, just for a little while. Good luck on the journey 💪✌️
Is your belayer actually using the Grigri properly? In some shots it looks like he’s wrapping his whole hand around the device with not even a single finger on the rope. I’m actually surprised we didn’t see you die at 8:27. It looks like somehow your belayer had the reflexes to switch from the death grip to gripping the rope in a split second.
Yeah it's all good. It's hard to see, but he's holding it in one of the ways petzl says you can. Good to keep your eyes pealed for safety though. nice one
I’m hoping so too. Haha yeah there’s some small holds. The second clip took 3 months to work out. Mostly because I was scared of clipping off such a bad hold in a tenuous position with an arm full of slack that close to the ground. I didn’t fall once and very nearly decked haha
Haha me too. I don't understand it at all. It gets super difficult when you're in the top end of your personal abilities (physically and mentally) and even harder when there is nothing to compare it to within 5000km haha. All I know is it's fun :)
Love the thoughtful style, Tom. Feel like I'm learning while getting a main-line of psyche!
Ahh thanks Jake. Psyched you liked it mate. It was fun putting it together :)

Nice editing, I like the compounded style of getting rope sit chats whilst watching the climbing
Cool, psyched you liked it. It was fiddly to put together, but I like it :)

Haha I can totally hear him saying it too. One of the iconic lines from that era
Love this content. Looking forward to seeing it go down
Psyched you like it. I'm very keen to see it done as well haha. It's been a long time
Cheering you on from an outdoor boulder in the states Tom!
Haha thanks. Have fun on the boulder :)

Always a joy to watch 😸🤙
Thanks mate, psyched you enjoyed it :). Always fun to share
Frothing!! Cheering you on from my garage sessions in the UK mate
Thanks mate 😀. Hoping it will come together in the not so distant future 🤞. Hope it was a good session ✌️
@@TomOHalloranAus never a bad one on the board. As a wise person once said "runs on the board"

wicked as!
it's one of the best bits of climbing in the world. in my totally biased opinion haha
It’s only a matter of time. Keep trying brother
Also you’re clipping off of holds I could barely use as Intermediates you’re a beast
I’m hoping so too. Haha yeah there’s some small holds. The second clip took 3 months to work out. Mostly because I was scared of clipping off such a bad hold in a tenuous position with an arm full of slack that close to the ground. I didn’t fall once and very nearly decked haha
Send it! And when u do take ur own advice give it 9b+!
haha that would be wild!
What's that draw out left that you don't clip?
Another project, starting to the left of my project then finishing the same spot. It's quite hard as well. It's good
Looking like it'll go this season Tom 💪 drop us a message if you need a belay this winter!
fingers crossed. just got to keep putting in the work and showing up :)
This is so mad!
Psyched you liked it :). Keen to share more when more happens :)
can someone please explain me how hard 9a++ is? because i have nooo idea also really good vid enjoy it as always!~!
9a+ would make it the hardest route in the country
Haha me too. I don't understand it at all. It gets super difficult when you're in the top end of your personal abilities (physically and mentally) and even harder when there is nothing to compare it to within 5000km haha. All I know is it's fun :)
Darth Grader says 8B into 8B sans rest is solid 9b+. That’s 38?
Haha wow, that sounds hard!
What's with the 9a++ grade, is it not simply 9b?
Think he's implying it might be harder than 9a+.
Could be 9b? 9b+? But harder than 9a+
I have no idea how hard it is, but it's certainly harder than other 9a's and 9a+'s i've been on overseas
@@TomOHalloranAus sounds like 9b to me haha
@@voidallyn1538 who knows haha
"You're getting runs on the board" is such a great Australian bit of encouragement - Super promising burns, this goes down soon surely
Haha it’s a classic saying isn’t it. I’m hoping I can get stuck in and make it happen sooner or later 😀🤞
