Cool

Top arete makes this a classic. a

First half is boring, but second is fun and exciting! Would be a really hard onsight, as the route is not obvious. Maybe second ascent? (2).

Found this pretty hard. The climbing feels a little forced at the top when it moves left, I felt like the natural line lead out right.

Did not work out the crux, and would take a few more shots to gain the power to get through it. Awesome moves on solid rock, good project for the future.

Worked out crux. YAH

Back on it. Figured out crux using a completely different sequence than last time. Kneescum above your head sort of move. It got too hot for a second shot.

First shot in a while! Not sure what to make of this shot. I can do up to the crux no problem at all (24 to here??) and can do the crux, but not every time. I tried the crux about 10 times and only did the moves about 4 of those times. It is very tempting to move right a move onto the jugs on HW, but it is a cool sequence of bouldering doing it direct and great training so I should stick at it!

Put the draws on and had two good shots. Highpoint is getting to the crux and putting in knee scum and going for the first of the 3 move crux. Getting stronger at pulling the crux, and can do it most times I try it now. One of those routes that could take another 2 shots, or 20, just depends if that bloody knee scum keeps still and doesn't always pop!

Woohoo! Hardest route outside of Coolum. I got some beta to try different kneepads, so did just that and it made all the difference for that shitty knee scum at the crux. Climbed the route direct as Lee did, and glad I did. Just like a lot of the harder routes at Ninderry, they can be a bit contrived so no classic from me. Probably low end 29, but how would I know considering its my first 29 face climb? (9)

Great route, did a stupid mistake first shot and came off. Climbs very well, nice crimp ladder. (2).

Straight up, felt easy at the end of the day.

Really nice crimping, I prefer this too the original Nitro. This flows a hell of a lot nicer and the link section feels really nice. This route is 26 for me, my crimping has really improved lately. (2).

Two shots, came off the crux near the top which wasnt bad. Good shot really. I love this climb, little pearler.

3 more goes. High point was sticking the top undercling and getting my feet up, but my core just failed.

Two shots, in the blazing sun.

Two shots after a LONG break from it. Not so bad, but definately need to get my fingers back into crimp mode again!

Put the draws on, and then had a good shot. Equal highpoint. Grabbed undercling, and missed bringing my right foot up and fell. Pulled back on and through to the top.

Same stuff, different day... Put draws on and had one RP shot. Highpoint, with quite literally missing the last hold of the crux (foot skated off or something). It'll go.

Two RP burns today. Set in Stone was filming so had to give it a good go! Both shots equal highpoint, but a small mistake made me come off. This route is great power endurance training.

Another attempt, another year... HAHA. First shot I fell off the start crux, after trying some new beta (which sucks). Second go fell off the second last move, so that was more like it! Lesson for today: Don't use other peoples beta as it's always too hard.

Woohoo! Finally! First started trying this in 2012 and have been falling off the last move multiple times every year since! Been doing a bit of training lately, which helped me get this pretty easily today. Super tired and feeling crappy but still managed to do it fairly in control and got to the anchor feeling surprising OK! No classic from me, as it is contrived, but the rock quality and moves make up for that. Onto Semtex! (20).

Also very good, a little soft for 23.

Lap.

Had a decent onsight attempt but missed a crucial finger slot out left which pumped me out. Second go it went smoothly, nothing to hard just continuous technical moves. Very nice route (2).

Nice route. A bit of everything on it, no specific style. Nice safe falls from the crux.

Climbed it to patch old aid bolts. A stiff warm up!

Warm up. Tricky as always.

Warm up. Finally some nice weather!! This climb feels a grade easier with good conditions.

Two laps.

Super nice. Bolts are all close together, so not quite as commiting as TKM, but just as fun! 22 for me.

Felt like onsighting again. Climbed it terribly.

Super nice headwall.

Warm up.
