Ascents in Australia

Really nice face climbing with some pretty cool moves along the seam, pity it’s not longer. It was my second sesh on it and got it I’m definitely not the first one to downgrade routes, but honestly I don’t think it’s 27. There is just one full on crimpy move but otherwise the holds are not bad. I expected crimps from hell at 27. Also, it has some new bolts and chains, so it’s all safe.

Very fun. On lead this time, and not in the pouring rain. Did it as one pitch pretty easily, with minimal rope drag.

Sort of hate that start mantle thing, but enjoyed the relatively easy middle. Didn’t manage to figure out how to stick the LH crimp from the flat jug at second to last bolt. The low feet are too low and the high ones are too high 😅 was very tired by then though. One to try again

Fun, hard if you can't layback or jam. Did it as one pitch to save time, the rope drag was a bit heavy towards the end.

Climbed to put a rope over the boulder

Sick crux, definitely soft

Lovely climb.

Nice little route, so close today but got dark

Didn't even need to fist jam..! Bonus chimney to finish up Smoked Banana was fun.

Flowed. Beautiful climb, fingers to forearm jamming forme, with an arm bar as well!

After 13 sessions, the shoe did not slip!

This thing is nails in my opinion, yet on the day it felt reasonable. It’s always hard until it isn’t, still pretty hard though…

Warmup before watching Gus send shoe slips. Class session lads!

I prefer this to the UtD, cool climb!

Second proper session working it on TRsolo. Linked through the first crux to the bulge. Got through the bulge sequence - always feels sketchy having high feet on TR solo. Have to work on the top next, doesn't seem especially hard but will be pretty touch and go after the lower sections!

Two laps

Two laps up, two laps down

Borderline sandbag, felt awful putting on draws subsequently very enjoyable with the draws on. Did not the use undercling at the top either.
