The Final Chapter
Hisa was keen to try this line and asked if I would be happy to leave him the FA.
Climbing is climbing and sharing it with others only makes it better, so of course it was my pleasure 😊
After he had completed the FA, I went back for the 2nd ascent, which is a fun & very worthy addition to this area.
It is possible to top out via a very dirty chimney probably around V0 so I was happy to leave this for the time being 😂
Some great moves link the start of Tube Surfing into the reverse of Undertow finishing up Better than Plastic.

Very happy & grateful for the opportunity to climb & contribute to this magical little place.
Till next time 🙏🏻 🙌🏼 🌟

The Big Project
It turns out that at the end of Ram Raid at , there’s a sequence of holds that trends right into the scoop of Undertow.
This discovery had me psyched, it would create an incredible new line!
I’d tried some of the moves during previous sessions on Undertow and was so keen to try the entire rig.
On the day, I traveled down from the Bluies with Calem, and we carried a mountain of pads, a ladder, some lights, a rope, and a host of other gear for a project session.
Hisa and his lovely family also joined us, and we had an amazing day of climbing, laughing, and hanging out together.
Taking my time, I rapped down, gave everything a thorough scrub, and made sure my sequence for the top-out was dialed.
I eased into the day, warming up by practicing the individual sections.
The big huck at the end of the new sequence and getting into the scoop was by far the hardest move—especially after climbing over eight consistent, challenging moves beforehand.
When I felt ready, I started from the beginning, using the original campus beta from Ram Raid. I got close, but on a couple of attempts, I just missed the final move to the jug. Perplexed, I focused on finding a better solution and came up with some new feet-first beta, which made the final campus pocket spin much more plausible and potentially easier.
By that point, though, my middle two fingers were cooked from all the pocketing (not something I usually train for). Thankfully, I “packed a few extra digits” and switched to using my front two fingers for the next attempt.
I made it through Ram Raid but lost a little tension heading into the new sequence of holds and popped off, hot dang! On the next go, I just missed the big move again.
After a short rest, I was psyched to give it one more go. I could feel the fatigue setting in from my earlier attempts, but I let go of all expectations, focused on my breath, and gave every move 110%.
With just enough juice left in the tank, I made it to the final hard move. I gave it everything I had—and a loud, victorious slap signaled the successful latch onto the hold. Whoop!
Carefully, I executed the next few moves and made my way to the rest before the headwall. I calmed my breath, slowed everything down, and cleared my mind.
Calm and focused, I gently worked my way to the top with the ground far below.
WHAT A LINE!! 😳😲😆🤩
A huge thanks to Calem for his support, which allowed me to give 100% focus, for helping carry all that gear, and for sharing the journey. And to Hisa- thank you for your support, shared vision, and psyche. 🙏🏻
Did you hear that “whoot-whoot” in the distance?
Definitely sounds like an owl…

Upon my first visit, I saw the potential for adding more lines to this magical area.
One thing that particularly caught my interest was the possibility of “topping out” these lines on the headwall above.
As the season was quite wet, I had to wait several months before I could rappel down and inspect the “top out” exit strategy.
Alas, all the holds were there. After some brushing and cleaning of debris, the time had finally come.
At a very modest grade, and following the boulder section, the climbing turned out to be quite enjoyable—just a bit bloody high 😂
With good preparation, some rehearsing, and a spotter, things came together pretty quickly.
It was a fantastic afternoon out with Hisa, who had also recently discovered this line.
Together, we managed to claim the double send as “Undertow” was born—a name inspired by my morning at the beach.
What seemed like a moderate swell, as it often is, turned out to be absolutely savage!
One guy even partially dislocated his knee; luckily, it popped back in, and he was just able to make it back to shore. Some serious shore dump and undertow that day 😲
Overall, it was a top-rated adventure—thoroughly enjoyed, acknowledged, and deeply appreciated. 🙏🏻

A new adventure begins..
I saw a video of @mattiasbmclimbs climbing Tube Surfing & thought the moves looked pretty cool & I should definitely check it out next time I’m down there.
Turns out the moves are very cool & there was plenty of potential for more lines in this little spot by the creek.
Stay tuned..
