Ascensiones en Barrenjoey teniendo Beta

Great day back at Barrenjoey...with Ms Fuj.

My trad headgame needs serious work. Would have been less mind bending with bolt plates...need to get some of those!

Would be good but the top is really dirty right now.

Slippery when wet!

..next time, fell just before the anchors

Yes, ticked this today 2nd go.

in the rain

getting closer...

grrr, those last few moves

crimp

youch

Shunting practice

Almost this time

Did the crux, pumped out on the top section. But stoked anyway

That top out is gnar

This is a bit harder now as one of the flakes fell off. It may be soft 23 now.

Flash

seriously close with this now.

bit sketched out by the run out to 3rd bolt.

1st time back on it since finger injury. Did the crux x2, but have lost a lot of stamina

Back to back laps. This is feeling a bit easier now!

Thinner than a super model

12 laps of the bottom section to the ledge for training

This is harder for shorties now the undercling snapped off.

Mega Traxion session. Could hardly walk back to the car afterwards.

Then the rain started!

Getting somewhat closer with this thing. Crux is cruxy however...

One hang - I just hope all the holds stay stuck on long enough for me to lead this! It is one savage piece of old school crimping. After two burns on this my fingers need two days off at least.

Did the crux again which is now stiffer since the loss of a hold a couple of years ago. I'd personally say that this feels more like 26 now.

Some good links today. Just need to get this in a oner on the mini-t. Although I don't know how I will clip the second last bolt?!!?

Good links on the mini traxion

Wasn't feeling this today. Felt scary and insecure!

First time in a while I've been able to do all the moves on this. It's harder than it used to be since the undercling broke off a couple of years ago.

Nice clean lap of this. The crux on this is right at my limit!

Third bolt is very tricky to clip. Also picked the worst time of day to try this - as it was getting the full blast of westerly sun, whilst every other part of the crag was cool.

training laps

Five really close tries, all falling off the last move. Frustrating but also heartening progress.

Bare feet.

Pre easy would give v2. Use both aretes.

Super cool

Damn

First mixed climb! Really enjoyed it, easy pro placement

Poorly protected

Not the best rock but fun moves and an amazing location!

add a grade if you're short!
