Ascents in Te Waipounamu / The South Island

Finally figure out all the move.

Repeat

21most of the route + one 24 move

Very hard, very bold.

Haven’t fought this hard on an 18 in years. I’ve climbed easier 21s.

Feels about V3/V4 so maybe 23/24?

Thought I had it 3rd try, but didn't hit the arete right, hopefully next session it will go

Repeat

Repeat

Cool down route - unsend, first time falling at the crux after doing it twice before on different occasions 🤣

Have done before. I like the style of the bottom section.

Both cruxes are fun. Easier than Lollapalooza for me, seems most people find Lola easier than me though. Hard to believe there is a two grade difference. EwBMI is 675.

Bit of an uneven climb. Some loose rock near the left hand side of the higher bolts before the right hand turn

Tried it but some of the moves were a bit big

Didnt see the hold out right on the crux. Would've done it if I had a second go but had to leave

Another one hang, just not quite matching the crux hold. Remarkably still dry!

Warm up.

Really fun with varied and interesting climbing. Unfortunately it's let down a little by the loose blocks and associated gear placements between 8th and 9th bolts.
