Flashing The Iconic Route Eye Of The Tiger (8a) || Cold House Media Vlog 027

After Charlotte and I heard so much about the famous Muline wall, we were finally able to touch our sweaty little fingers on that perfect sandstone. So we took a nice little day trip down there. Where are we? We are below the Eye of the Tiger, one of these routes that when you see a picture of, you're like wow that looks beautiful. I hope I'll get the chance to climb it one day and here we are it's the D-Day. Charlotte was so excited to get on Eye of the Tiger so she went for the on-site slash flash or whatever you want to call it these days with the internet media. Flashed it which was awesome and it gave me good positive vibes about the route and kind of friendly pressure to also flash it. Our friend, our local friend Steven told us that Flying Duck is an amazing route. He sent it for his birthday apparently for the first of his grade so we hopped on flying duck and we sessioned on that for a little bit in the heat and we both ended up sending flying duck at the last bit of daylight conclusion of today today every day is a new lesson today's lesson was when climbing in the Grampians if it's 35 degrees out don't climb midday wait for the evening and the cooler temps because it's much more enjoyable. And it's a good sign that there's a climber photo on the wall. Maybe our doctor is a climber and will understand the pain. Not in my body but in my mind that I can't climb. Could be ribs, oblique, kidney stones, who knows. Found out that it was a torn oblique and basically the the medicine for that is rest. So for the next couple weeks I'm pretty much resting, not climbing much. We met up with our friends Stephen and Kate and they're two little kids for a nice little weekend of camping and climbing and drinking wine in the rain. Really good memories there. So in Bundeljord that was nice because I climbed with Kate and we did a very easy chimney which was a nice route and a trad route so it was nice for me to place some gear again and then we climbed a couple routes with Kate and Steve and with Steve we picked a route called Manic Depressive that's a 70 plus was a very steep arete but kind of finishes on the slab of it and in the slab it's incredible pocket good holes good edge and you just go over it with big runouts exposed route but i think being here in the Grampians it's kind of useless to say that a route is exposed because they're all exposed how was it super Thanksgiving in Australia update potatoes are in, squash is about to enter, stuffing is done, turkey legs, because we can't do an entire turkey. Should be good soon. It's 100 degrees out here. It is completed. It's so hot that Sharla is taking a shower break in the middle of our meal, which I understand because when I was grilling the turkey legs, I took a shower midway through the cooking.
