Tannin - First Time: Death is Imminent

Tannin is a classic grade 19 rock climb at Arapiles/Djurrite, and many of us have stories about the first time we tried it. In this film, we see Erica's first time on the route, and hear stories from a number of other climbers (some more famous than others) including Andrew Thomson; Esther Renita; Glenn Tempest; Mikl Law; Simon Mentz; Dave Jones; Malcolm Matheson; Zac Vertrees; Norm Booth; Louise Shepherd; John Fischer.
Winner of the Jury's Choice at Goatfest 2024.

Super solid lead, great work, impressive. I remember this climb being steep and consistent. Loved it, and love Araps! More Aussie climbing culture needed. Keep it up!

Nice looking climb, very composed, efficient leader and great form! Bomber stopper placements (I guess shit house is good)! I try not to place them as my first however if possible.

Interesting voice over

I got past the crux and then my wire popped out. I had to call for a top rope as it was a ground fall for me and I'm easily scared,
