Ascents in World as Hang dog by Thomas Maxted

Was feeling quite close until i broke a fairly crucial hold. It still goes although it’s a little harder now…

So hard. Not particularly inspired

Hard top

Tricky crux sequence, the rest us jugs

First proper look at this route today. Need to come back stronger for the start but it feels like it’ll come together.

Mmm felt very weak trying this today.

Classic bullen. Nails!

Very nearly retro-flashed this one. One of the better 26s in Nowra and felt much easier than when I first sent it.

Gave it an onsight attempt but missed a hold down low. Second shot I was too pumped l!

Having a sus. Two laps, mega classic route but damn that crux is hard! One for next season!

That crux is still nails :((

Had my first proper look at this route, I was super intimidated by the thought of the pocket boulder at the top but stuck the move quickly. Cant wait to start going for some links!

Cold!, did it with a couple of sits on the second lap. Might go back for it soon

One lap to try some new beta. Feels like it will work!

First look at this classic, did all the moves minus 2. Very good climbing, I’ll come back a bit stronger to put some time into it.

Endurance test piece! Had two laps and on the second I almost did it in two halves but got too pumped and couldn’t clip the anchor!

Hard and big moves indeed, I’ll come back one day when I’m stronger because this is an awesome piece of climbing

That undercling crux feels so hard. The rest is awesome face climbing. I’ll come back for it!

More dog laps, getting some good links going but that start boulder is still nails for me!

Mmm, not as inspiring as I thought it might be. Pretty nails crux sequence!

Really quite hard in a few spots but awesome bouldering! One lap and I did all the moves except for the jump.

Decent climbing, hard crimpy crux around the roof and a super long deadpoint below. Not enough to ever bring me back here.

1 lap to check the beta. 1 red point burn. Holds started seeping and slipped off the move before the crux as the jug had turned to soap! Mega climbing in the steep stuff. I’ll have to wait for the holds to dry and get back to get it done!

What a punter! Roughly 8 shots falling on the last move over 3 days of attempts. Going to come back with more endurance and sort this out!

1 really good burn where I fell on the last move, feels like it could go soon with some slightly better conditions and a little more endurance!

Mega! Did all the moves today… second last boulder feels like the hardest sequence by far!

4 laps, pumpiest thing I’ve ever been on!

Cool route, couldn't figure out leftwards traverse after leaving lap dance. Better conditions would surely help haha

Deserving of the stars, had three shots and pumped out after the crux on two of them. Strength is there but not the endurance.

Just one dog lap, sideways runout with a high heel makes for some exciting times but feels like it should come together pretty quickly.

Really great climbing until the nails finale which I couldn’t figure out.

Slipped going for the jug at the end of the crux, the hard bit on this climb might only be a few moves but man are they intense!

Fell off that last move more times than i can count, can link the rest of it quite comfortably but that top boulder still feels nails. Came super close a few times so hopefully it'll go soon!

Cool, flashed up to the crux and then couldn’t figure it out. Felt hard to get set up for the big move.

Heinous move at the start then more solid climbing! Could be a few grades above 23 but good regardless.

One lap to check out some of the moves. Feels a bit harder than BB although I didn't have any beta for after the ledge.

I’m really starting to dislike this route, felt close to sending but just ended up tweaking my pulley

Really great, had a decent onsight attempt until I couldn’t see any chalk or holds. Went in confident next shot but dry fired off the last hard move, will be high on the priority list for next trip

One dog lap, moves felt cool. Arm didn’t like it so much though.

Starting to come together, linked the climb after the first move to the last jug and had some okay attempts at the start.

Linked the star boulder. Need to sort a better sequence leading up to the rest before the crux then get some decent conditions to pull on those crimps!

James convinced me to have a quick try at the end of the day. Just pulled through the first bolt of climbing then stuck the move to the two finger pocket quickly(2nd or 3rd try) if I put some time into this then it might actually be doable!

One lap, cool and pretty hard. Lots of commitment and fitness will be needed for a send but this might be a good PC proj for me now!

Feeling good on the majority of the route minus the start move and one tricky clip just after that.

Good bouldery moves down the bottom that I thought were cool. Wasnt too inspired by the crux, desperately bumping your foot up the wall isnt quite my idea of fun.
