Ascents in Illawarra and Shoalhaven by Vanessa Wills having sport-cpr or ascent-date

I quite liked it

2 shots today. More grating on finger skin than I recall. Knee pads next time 3 knee bars. Middle crux match, r foot up, right hand side pull, left hand unchalked dimple then slipper, forget about chalked holds to left then up to above bolt. Top crux commitment!

Clearly bolted and graded by someone tall

Nice steep thugging. Feels 22 after figuring out where the holds are, but took a shot to work out.

Just missing the spanking move, couldn’t stick despite todays excellent friction. One previous go about a decade ago before the 2 extra bolts added probably left me scarred.

Never really noticed this before, quite good

Yes, it’s better than it looks, the top is quite fun

2 laps, getting up into undercling is my main problem, the rest is ok, but a few other spots you could fall. Will have to prioritise it this year

Rpt, seems to be handling the traffic very well

Doesn’t add much, and doesn’t feel much harder than the 18

Nice start, good late addition

Nice holds, bolts spaced

Fun for the grade

Getting off the block was the hardest move. Too cold

So cold my back was seizing up after the big drive yesterday. Crack gloves are cool. Time to call it a day.

Felt stiff, probably because it was cold and the wind was knocking me off

Some nice moves, felt easier than GSTQ, maybe because I was warmer

3rd go. Not sure what people consider the crux but the hard move for me was the reach at 3rd bolt. The rest I could static. The grid bolting/ link ups in this area are pretty gross.

The crux is definitely the starting slab. The corner is ok but a shame it was retrobolted. I guess other people like it.

I hate it when I spend the day doing routes I did before, but obviously not remembering them. Must be attracted to the same lines....

Second go. It’s short and bouldery but fun and great rock

Awful u bolts sticking out way too far. And a squeeze job to boot.

Rpt, some spaced bolts keeps one engaged

Actually enjoyed this one today. No recall of times past

Pretty soft for grade. May have felt 18 on trad.

It was in the sun, enjoyable at the time

Nice rock and sequence up high. The hardest and better of the 3 18s

Very chalkless and a bit dirty, but nice climbing. I slid in a dirty undercling at crux first go. I would probably give this 22 and Roo Rot 24. Very nicely bolted.

Did all sequences. Feels about 2 grades harder than FF.

Thankful for the ledge between the crux bits. Great climb in 2 halves

Thought it was a bit stiff for a 16. Started up the hand crack.

Nice crack and ok moves but doesn’t flow with bolt positions

Pretty nice steepness.

Not memorable.

Rpt to get out

Some sharp little crimps.

A few grades easier than the 22 I did yesterday.

Ouch, everything was the wrong distance apart

A bit pumpy when trying to find the holds

Nice pockets on this

Used up all my energy clipping second draw above ledge and missed the big move to jugs.

Did the batman start to avoid the offwidth. Took a long time below the roof working out a non reachy way to do it

Great moves, but wimped out first shot after sticking crux move when I realised I would land on belayer if I missed the next move.

Rpt, I really like this route and it is mostly independent of ML except for about 1 metre. Could be 23.

End of day attempt failed about 4 bolts up at undercling.

Someone called chris is threatening to chop the bolts. Although the lower part does climb independently of T O the tide, it doesn't add a lot to the wall.

Great warm up again

Rpt, still nice, so much chalk on the finish, it's like the pocketed wall

Nice pockets but wtf with the bash in carrots

Rpt, hot and burnt belaying in the sun

Desperate, I wanted some cams as the bolts are spaced for the non 28 climber

2 attempts today as we were in area and crux draws were on. The lower crux move is nails for me. I stuck it once properly. Managed the next crux move to anchors the both shots.
