Ascents by Vanessa Wills having Distinct route

Rpt, the mantle at top was tenuous with only one hand

Couldn’t clip anchors. Had to do an inverted kneebar second go- Dave just reached past and had no problem.

The moves were ok, but fall potential left me nervous. Quite hard.

Found the move off belay at start the hardest en route ( short arms). Second pitch just lovely. Led P2 and 3…..

We came down to consider rebolting with anchors-feels sandbagged at 23 without bridging across chimney. Came to no decision. Weirdly it was chalked up

Pretty crappy climbing up to a hard and interesting crux sequence. Harder than any move on influenza. Not sure it’s worth the effort, but it filled in the afternoon.

Some nice moves once in the stemming groove. The 9 th or 10th bolt’s nut was quite loose. I finger tightened it, worth bringing a spanner

Interesting enough, found it as tough as the other two, though may have been just reacquainting myself with the Pipes dolerite

Intricate crux at about third height for me that was quite enjoyable. A bit stop/ start from half height

Didn’t find this any harder than the 2 routes to the right ( though did a silly slip below crux).

Not too bad for a late addition, though top a bit contrived and friable

Interesting lower section

Did top section clean from below roof, but rained off after this.

Rpt. The little pockets were very slimy today. 2 laps.

Rpt

Rpt. Very dirty

Original ascent was solo, weirdly coming up as red point. Rpt today

Rpt

Hopefully the predicted rain will settle the dust. Really great and varied moves and steeper than it looks. One go on TR to brush the holds then sent with a bit of power grunting and wobbling before we had to leave.

Rpt. Quite a tricky one

Rpt, needed a bit of a brush. Left hand crack glove/ tape useful for me. Unfortunately I had brought 2 right hand gloves ( duh!)

Tricky start keeping left of arete. Stupid finish.

Rpt. Shares a lot of holds with route to right

Rpt

Rpt, alzheimers os, the slimpers felt pretty slimy today

Rpt. A bit sandy, gave it a brush.

Rpt. Unfortunately now crossed by another route.

It’s a squeeze but didn’t feel too contrived

Rpt.

Surprised to see a standard solo for many years now with bolts

I have this ticked as a solo, but I think that was Plum Duff. This is almost a retrobolt of Pimple and of similar difficulty

Another questionable route

Seriously, I walked down this with no hands and the dog ran up it. Needs to disappear.

Rpt. Some worthwhile committing moves on this off poor holds. Climbs completely independent of route to left to same anchors

Rpt. The first bolt position is not in a good location for this route, it works better for Gastric. Hard start for grade.

Got to third bolt but not a good one to have done on trashed tips.

Ate away my finger skin going direct on the crux. Mc Dougalled a bit in the end as I could hold the sloper and get feet up well with a half pad undercling but couldn’t reach the good hold

Much better than I was expecting

The one I hadn’t done. Finished up Karinya by mistake. Found going direct at 3rd bolt quite tough for grade

Contrived.

Better than route to left

Crap rock, only good move is the starting mantle ( if you don’t chimney)

Rpt, another bouldery number, probably my favourite route, had to brush sand out of all the incuts

Felt a bit pumped for a route that wasn’t too steep.

Really nice climb in 3 parts

Fun and interesting arete, now off to the airport

Lovely technical finger seam

Tough crux for shorter people

Felt stout as a warm up

Works ok as a warm up in the rain. Temps gone from about 24 C to 9 C max in Tennessee.

Very bouldery start, took me quite a few attempts to get as hard to work due to bolt being way behind you. Above easier climbing, though second roof fun. Two main attempts
