Ascents in Halls Gap Area as Working

Half of the moves done. Need to figure out how to move left to the high crimp before the dyno. Wishing for cooler temps!

Surprisingly good first session on this. Only 2 moves left to do and they felt pretty close. Hopefully stick them next session and then time to start making links.

Testing the waters before cooler temps. Feel pretty confident+solid getting to high left, but will wait for condis before I start throwing myself at the deadpoint.

Very cool. Need to be able to do the second to 5th-ish moves hahaha. Would definitely want to try on a dry day.

Finally opened the account on this one. All but one move done in isolation (rh bump/3rd(?) move) and a few links on the easier finishing sequence. Went wildly better than anticipated... and am very keen on putting some time and effort into this banger

Now have first 3 moves in isolation and linked 4th through to top out. Bottom three gonna be REAL hard to link and then climbing top half afterwards... yeah, we a fair way off. Stoked nonetheless.

Small session to refresh all of the moves. Feeling more solid on it than before lockdown, but climbing very sloppily.

First session in a while, went in with low expectations. Linked the hard first 3 moves and then made silly footwork mistakes to drop the easy end sequence... twice. But feels real good to have it in two parts now and seems like perhaps the send isn't too far off.

Making progress. Will tweak replica at home. Def way harder than RHV.

Awesome. Worked on the middle section.

Suprised myself, put all moves together until what I think is the last one, quite quickly. Needed a spotter to go for it. Too many broken ankles in the gramps this weekend : (

Next time

Thought I was trying the V6, didn't feel impossible which is very surprising.

Lots of hard moves in row. Nothing crazy, but it just keeps building. Conditions were not amazing, but got some good links.

Had a good play on this lovely arete today. Seems like there is some confusion as to whether or not you can use holds left of the arete that aren't the underclings or have to stay right mainly using the big moon feature like Oliver did. Also the start is an "American sitstart" (= crouch start) and doesn't start on the very lowest edges.

Felt super desperate even with amazing nighttime conditions. Maybe just need more rest beforehand? Big day before the heat hits

Lovely moves. Will continue working this one for sure!

Got the traverse from the start in one link. Couldn’t quite figure out the move to gain the slopey rail at the lip, or the move to the final bulge. Felt close though. Excited to come back and work it.

Top is proving to be more difficult than anticipated. Some slight progress today but it’s going to take a lot more work before this one goes.

Highpoint today. Can't seem to move feet after getting second left hand sloper though. Might have to try something else next time, or just see if cooler temps make a difference. Was boiling hot today!

I don't know if I can call today's session progress. I can 'feel' that I seem to be able to go to the higher sloper as I'm feeling more balanced with some new foot beta... Not sure

Managed to figure all beta up to last 2 moves and put it together in 2 sections. Again need a spotter and extra pad for the top.

Trying to nail the balanced position before moving up fast the first pinch sloper. An interesting challeng this one.

Somewhat optimistic for working this in the cooler months. Felt pretty good despite warm weather and gassed body.

Unlocked the step up today. Just the drop in move to go. Feeling pretty close.

Somehow this actually went ok except to the bit where I fell

came close! worked it all out except the drop in move at the top

Again. Punted the top. Needed power endurance.

One I'd be keen to get on again. Felt close but just had nothing in the tank

Stand start is good. Similar to Rick and Morty’s in style. Maybe about V6/7. Can’t solve the sit start!

Hard.

Stellar. Worked out the 1st half but it's starting to get airy up there!!

First time trying this one! got to the match on the lip first go

A man can dream.... more crimps!

Didn't dare to commit with only a headtorch on and the prospect of pinging into the riverbed. Pretty sure I got the standstart sorted, strangely though without any compression moves and just crimps! Well psyched to get back on this asap.

Wow, what a line. Really surprised myself by getting fairly far while working this. The holds look atrocious but magically become useable once you duck under the lip. Could have probably done this one but couldn't bring myself to really commit because of the landing. I think if not for the landing this would be a world class problem. What a dreamline.

Tick type of "working" might be a bit of a stretch - playing around with first move between Michael and Max making actual attemptes on this. Could probably hit first hold currently, but finger strength not nearly enough to do adjust feet to do next move.. but as far as V8's go, seems one of the more achievable ones

First session on this awesome line and got unbelievably close to get it. Dynamic right hand to finish is the way for me.

Had a little dabble, but perhaps not ideal conditions... sliding off the slopers.

Well... I think I got 2 to three more moves to work on 💪

Fricken goes but wish I was not trashed from 40+ hours of climbing over 5 days aaaaa

The one crux move made me realise how weak I really am but everything else goes

Had to come up with a new sequence, avoiding the good pinch on the flake, after it began flexing mid session. Found beta that works but was too tired to link it from the sit.

This thing climbs amazingly. Too bad I was way too scared to try the crux cross without more pads and an extra spotter. One to get back to (with friends) for sure.

Such an amazing Boulder
