Ascents in Central Coast by Vanessa Wills

Got to the horn and lip but wasnt going to break an ankle trying the topout with no spotters 2 days before leaving the country

I think this was some type of hybrid diagonally across honeycomb pockets. Got clean to lip at about v3. Fun enough but Lots of crap rock in this area.

Got to the crimp on slab but nervous without a spotter. Nice to there

This was even dirtier, wasted a lot of effort going right of the bolts with some very funky moves, but couldn’t see how to get through a blank section. Tried going left, probably the way, but a very long move for me

Not sure that the blob resembles a brain, probably a bit soft for v5, but the starting dead point to crimp suits me

Easier than the 22! Back when fit. Great moves, better than original

PAul grading soft!

suddenly through the low crux- the rest a nice formality

below crux to anchors. Why didnt I tick??

Dont have the power or endurance at the moment, but possible in a months time

I can go away now

Another dog at Wards Hill, getting to 3/4 height and far better than the route to the left

dont even mind the chipped pocket on this. New bolts and anchor half done

finally led it clean.

Supercedes thc, worth going all the way to the top

Rather bouldery start took several- 5- goes to sort, then some slopers up high

2 goes today. Did ok second attempt. Can get to pocket out right, 3/4 up, but the final 2 moves are strung out

The end was wet so we stopped under roof. Ridiculous start on gym holds. One more for the short would be nice.

Some fun moves, but very very tough mantle. Then I read description

Rpt. Didn't want to bugger shoulder so didn't do my campus crimp after managing to catch it.the end feels great after all the Grampians pocket pulling

Up to anchors in cave, one long move I need more power for

Did the 23 version bailing left after trying the direct finish multiple times. Can almost do it direct, a wicked mantle. I was pretty sure Jules did it direct. 25 is reasonable that way I think, very balancy

Third shot, technical and balancy, get on it while it's clean

Like being at the bouldering gym

Reacquainting myself with the two finger pocket. Rest of it fine.

Tried this once before years ago, still feels outrageously hard and reachy. I can get to good hold under roof with effort. Seeing the 24 to the left is so straightforward this maybe should be 26? Way harder than 97%MF

days of training in moss on Bungonia slabs prepared me for this. Fun.

At least I got a tick at wards hill

I mightnt be sending them, but at least I'm back on them. Got the first and second crux but trouble at the third.

quite hard

omitted the start cairn. Some heel hooks and a memorable mantle

Next to rebolt, hard crux move

a bit chipped and reachy, out of time

Bit of a one move wonder, cant blame the friction today

Doesnt need the chipped hold at crux- I cant reach it and can do without it

Not even sure if this is even 24 if you can't reach. At 22 must be the coasts biggest sandbag.

Some good bits, one hard move

Took about 30 goes to stick the bouldery start sequence. I figure if it was down the hill it would get v4. Yes there was a snake off to the left near the top. Needed a lot of brushing to be able to hold the slopes.

Trench warfare. Dave did this much easier by putting his back to the water which didn't work for me. I faced the water and did some extreme bridging and thrutching. And sorted it out by about the 15th attempt, and probably won't be able to walk tomorrow.

3 shots, clipped last bolt clean, but the finish just seems way reachy, not sure how to link.

Alzheimers os, to the anchors of Mr C. Easier than 24 but maybe better for the short

Third go, had to figure the crux reach. Crack gloves both hands helped and taped right index finger for brutal finger lock

Even moving left straight from corner this thing seems soft for grade. Interesting moves for short climb.

The mantle is nice, the start nails if slot is out of reach and the end pretty hard. Gives me something to come back for.

May be easier if short. Or Ive just got used to it.

Bouldering is contrived nonsense

A bit of an eliminate but fun

Nice to have some solid crimps but the sit start felt very contrived

If I just held onto minging seams and ignored the mono does that count?

The sit start definitely adds a grade

Not sure if I “ eliminated” enough holds for grade.

ended up veering left at crux though straight up possible at harder grade

still tuff but at least did moves.Neds rebolt

nice flake, 2nd shot

very balancy, aided on draw

An extended tricky boulder problem
