This is Monique Forestier @moniqueforestier on the exceptionally thin and technical Microcosm (31), a beautiful 50-metre face on the Coke Ovens cliff, in the Wolgan Valley, Blue Mountains. I took this pic of Monique in 2011, her ascent was 15 years to the day since the first ascent in 1996. It was the first 31 in the #BlueMountains.

Interesting little point of history that we just learned… at the time I reported Monique’s ascent as the 3rd ascent, but I just ran into the climber who we thought had made the 2nd and he told us his ascent had been misreported and he’d taken a hang. I wasn’t too surprised to hear that, this route is hard, as you’ll know if you’ve read Monique’s story about it in #RockClimbingDownUnder.
