Ascents in West Gosford by Vanessa Wills

I liked it. George didn't. Some delicate moves

Fortunately had been done recently so was clean enough

Gde 21 start and 19 finish. But very nice.

so many draws to put on such a short climb

the finish is fun

felt like a trad route

If this place gets more traffic, as it deserves, these will be very nice. Everything needs a brush, we did our bit

Quite tricky start, partially clean after pulse open day on Saturday

a little damp today

Good when clean

much better than it looks

Fun little slab

Another one that is good when clean, harder than it looked

for completions sake

Rpt, a bit sandy, deserves more traffic.

Rpt, must try the extension one day

Nice slopers

Rpt

Rpt, short but ok

I'd add a couple of grades to both of these

Rpt

Would be nicer if it had more traffic these days.

Marred by bolts that could be better positioned

felt stout, but 1st climb of the day

Felt tricky, but it was incredibly dirty. We gave it a good scrub

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

Missed starting boulder problem first attempt, easier after that

hard start, then about gde 15, 2nd shot

Tricky slopes at top

Another hard start.

First lap was a major cleaning exercise, it was rather dirty

Rpt, a couple of laps as an antidote to the slabs.

Nice jamming, nice crack

Very impressed I onsighted this in the past. The mantle is hard. Took 3 goes today. One of the most interesting technical moves on the central coast for the grade

Nice jams up top, no trad gear

Didn't have any cams. Hard start then a few dirty jams

The start of this is super hard. Didn’t have trad gear with us

A bit contrived but delicate slabbing. Don’t use tree

The cam placements are quite good

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

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

Despite better conditions this route is only for those over 6 foot and good ape factors. The rest of the moves are good, so once I got the 2 finger dish way to the left I could do the tricky mantle. Most people who have ticked this route on here have it mixed up with the 20 to the right due to wrong description. That route does have a hard last move, though much easier than this

The long move from the undercling is longer than my arm span. If I start on that hold I can do the rest.

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

Got to high crux but needs a cool day, a brush and a tick mark and a slab dyno to succeed for me

nice flake, 2nd shot

hardwork

a few fun moves

warm down. Not too mossy, probably harder than 15.
