Ascents in Onkaparinga by Rob Watson

Really cool, got a bit scared on the ground up attempt but dialled it in next shot. Burly boulder with a spicy exit high above your last piece

I almost lost my mind in the process but it's finally done! Chuffed to close this chapter after countless sessions of trying and falling at the very top. A great new route that adds full value resistance climbing on top of an already established classic. Thanks for equipping this one Redanon it's a gem! I hate quantifying my experience into a number, but I think 29 is a fair punt, get on it people!

Nice to repeat this fairly easily after not touching it in years, very good fun

Back again, still the hardest thing I've ever tried to climb, and completely my anti style. New clipping beta has me alot more psyched to sink some time in!

Pretty fun 3D crux sequence, quite hard to read initially. 2nd go

2nd go. Very cool sequence through the roof, the death trap groove is quite fun once you get a nice sequence dialled. A few loose bits but mostly good!

Very cool sequence once you figure it out. Barely squeezed it in a session after many failed burns, one ending after being swarmed by wasps post crux 😂 finished at the hat chains for a bit more value

Quite good once cleaned up. Super soft for the grade...

Actually quite good, spicy climbing into lust! Definitely didn't want to blow it. Might've traversed to far into lust and made it more runout than it needed to be haha

Mostly choss but a few fun moves here and there.. 3 stars is probably a stretch haha

As for fully involved. Great line in it's own right

2nd go. Great hidden gem, deserving of attention! Good lines in Adelaide are few and far between so it's always nice to stumble upon a classic

First time repeating this I reckon?

Well 'ard. Threw in the towel last year but feels good now! Did the full crux and all the moves, psyched.

Actually a really good route, never bothered previously. Cool sequence after trade through a rad pinch followed by an airy arete on small footers, one of the more exposed sequences at red.

2x fitness laps. Good to still feel good on a rope

Really good climbing on some cool holds, pretty much a board problem on a rope

2x Repeats, once for fun, once for a photo haha. An Adelaide classic for sure

Repeat, almost forgot how great this line is

Quick lap before the rain, nice to still feel fit on this

2nd Ascent. What a route! The longest and best line at red despite being a linkup, hard and sustained from the roof to the kneebar then the crux at the top. an ultimate test of endurance and mental willpower. Took me a while to realise I wasn’t dreaming at the chains, unreal.

Really good 3 dimensional funk, on good holds. Moves all easier than stalagmite and trade but easily droppable at the crux. Got “lost” and bungled the flash but went next go.

3x Laps working big link into CS

Backlog, done heaps of times always good fun

Went fifth attempt however have done both routes routes prior, mega line that leaves you gasping by the top

Had to pinch myself at the chains to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Honestly had no expectations but stuck the crux fairly comfortably and it was in the bag. Mega route

Managed to finally link the full crux sequence from the rest, twice! Super stoked to make progress on this rig, hopefully won't be too much longer...

2nd time properly trying this rig, managed to actually pull the crux move fairly comfy this time round, maybe on account of not being hungover. Keen to give it some burns

Pretty cruisy up until trying to hit that crimp! Super powerful move. All the moves done in iso just have to string that boulder problem together, fantastic route

Dreamy, got to the crux feeling pretty good and was not letting go

Went up quickly to explore the holds, beautiful movement from the licorice onwards

Stoked, first burn of the day 4th Redpoint go all up. Felt fairly comfortable the whole way, absolutely sublime line. Although I still think it's pretty stiff for the grade, but that may be just because I'm crap at underlings.

One sit, Spat off gaining handjam but still had plenty in the tank. Should go fairly soon

Working Camel Filter

Super psyched to tick this one. Probably the funnest route Ive done

3rd sesh. Bottom sequence felt mint then somehow pulled the roof like a dream then surprised at how the hell I got there quickly punted of the headwall. So close.... Yet so far

Stoked to flash this, almost peeled off a few times but kept it together. Awesome climbing

Hardest Onsight yet. Nails boulder problem to a superb slabby finish.

Couldn't quite find the gas, hard crux

Mega line, stoked to nab this after 4 or so sessions of working, super engaging climbing with just enough rests when you need them. Probably enjoyed this more than lust

First time sticking the dyno from the ground up, fell gaining the undercling
