Going beyond just a climb - FA Thumbs Up, 29/8a, Elphinstone, Blue Mountains

A route I have wanted to bring to life for 10 years. This one means a lot to me and hope it's one people will enjoy. It's a ton of fun and a great addition (I think) to the main wall at Elphinstone.

Miss you Jay.

He was one of a kind. 10 years on and I still feel the void in my heart, though I know he still smiling with us all. ❤💚👍

RIP Jay. He was such a genuine, friendly, nice guy. I came back to climbing after 10 years off and the first guy I met at the gym was Jay. He was so welcoming and we had so much fun training together. In the short time I knew him he improved so much and his excitement for climbing grew along with his skill.
