Ascents in World as trad by James Hockey

Dream line

Got the dog

Wow, what an incredible line. Very gnarly but possible with the right sequence.

Got to the traverse putting gear on then subsequently worse shots. Classic power enduro

Flashed the 23 bit then proceeded to embark on a futile quest up into hostile territory. I managed some scary links up to near the final roof on choss and a prayer before my braveness quota for the day was reached. Lee is a beast.

Just wanted to feel that mega jug, did not disappoint.

Phenomenal

Pikers gonna pike (traversed around the nails crux). Apart from the cruxy crux this is all time

Very unique, everyone had different, equally strange beta.

Thought this was Follow your nose and got pretty sandbagged

Some radical sequences, taipan does the blueys climbing better than the blueys.

Brutal

Wouldn’t have gone if the fellas weren’t singing the groove train song at me

Technically safe but I’m not testing the theory

Bring trad

Swinging and floatin on RPs felt rad

Felt like climbing on another planet

Last pitch only, this is one tasty piece of rock

A wild journey

nearly piked out left but less sane heads prevailed

Very rad, four of my mates whipped on gear which inspired me to go for it. One quick lap on TR, didn’t do nearly enough inspection at the top. Sent first proper shot, the roof and lip are so rad and the technical groove was something else, fiddling and swearing at unfriendly peenuts while balancing on smears and slopey flakes for a solid 15 minutes. Sick line though.

So good.

What a ridiculous splitter. About 25m of pure red, on my onsight burn i fought stupidly hard and only got 1/3rd or 1/2 way before getting spat off. Then hopelessly and spookily dogging up with less cams than i would've liked. Send or no I'm super stoked I backed myself and pulled the rope for the lead.

Pretty epic adventure, getting to the roof wasn't easy with plenty of choss and tricky fingerlockoffs. Mark figured out the beta and sent with some deep fist jams and gumption. When it came to my turn I completely bailed on that way and opted for foot first fist stacking and screaming mayhem 100m off the deck. I did not send.

This is a hard piece of rock, onsighted to first couple bolts then heinously dogged. putting bolt plates on this ground up sucked

Great climb, moves flowed well, conditions were good and my headgame felt good.

Got thrown on this at the end of a solid day. Bit of a dirty grovel guarding a genuinely great finish of multiple body lengths of hands and feet in a ~60 degree overhanging crack. Second ascent.

How good

Thought this was the stiff 17… oopsie

Dabbling in the ways of the top rope tough guys

Epic line, pitched it out. Punted on first shot of the final pitch, stripped the gear and sent next shot. The rap seemed longer than 34m.

Great line, first time falling on gear. Keen to come back for it.

First proper whip on gear, slowly building a good headgame. Great climbing and very well protected.

had a bit of a time on this one, faffed around bumping gear around then committed to the traverse, got scared and tickled the ground. My partner tried with the same results. Managed to pull through on my second shot with a thank jesus sit once i got a cam in. Then i just had to persevere through a gross hanging belay on two pieces just above the roof. Bring more three's if you like feeling all warm and fuzzy. Pretty classic all up, it felt legit for only being 10m off the ground.

Amazing!!! Wandered off into the 18 at the very end so i'll drop a grade but a great bucket list climb to tick.

Interesting gear at the start up to the awesome flake feature.
