Ascensiones en World como Onsight por Vanessa Wills

It was dry in the rain

The guide books crap- but hey I tried hard cos I thought I was on a 23!

Perfect pocket jugging

Pitch 1 only. Was definitely holding onto Bits of rock that don’t get much use. Was hard at Rooflet. Pretty nice slab.

hardish start

Thin, technical and sustained, just the way I like it.

A battle with the crocodile. A bit sharp, but full value.

This was pretty hard at one point, and clipping anchors.

stars and grade may be slightly overinflated. Nice though.

days of training in moss on Bungonia slabs prepared me for this. Fun.

yeah, whatever

kiwis cant crimp

pommy told me it was onsightable and he was right

NIce variant finish, good moves

John may feel better after finding this hard. I thought we were on the 23

Fun roof to start then lovely technical climbing with some good long moves

Yeah, yeah. Totally absorbing.

A little wet and dirty up high, not bad seeing it as raining.

Dave had rapped down and placed draws. Too scared to fall off looking at rusty old piton. Deserving of a revolt. Lovely technical arête

Nice route, bolts just in the wrong place.....

A bit soggy for 24, but it makes up for those nasty bouldery things at other crags. It was pumpier than the 22

I hated the start rock quality but the route grew on me, with good technical moves and increasing pump, spent about 15 minutes climbing up and down at 4 th bolt before committing and then somehow held on with lovely slab moves at end. Probably third ascent, so no chalk, and quite dirty and 4 crumbling holds I somehow stayed on

Nice steep top section

Lovely endurance, technical route

jugfest

My style, but way easier than some of the 6bs we've done

A bolted finger to hand crack. Monkey face 19 or piddo 20, but still nice

Tricky middle

A few slippery slopes.

Wow,it might be a little friable and wet but it kept me on my toes the whole way.

Wasn't allowed to leave without doing this

Almost Blueys feeling, crimps, side pulls and some glue. Climbed up and down at the lower crux about 6 times working out the reachy sequence ( dave didn’t even notice this) and got the top crux well, quite exciting.

Great moves with welcome rests.

Shipleys almost as nice as the Freezer

tricky starrt

nice reachy moves. Probably only 22, but its my style!

Had done other pitches with www, onsight crux pitch, very nice moves and great position

The top bits is good

not too hard

The coveted first onsight apparently

nice slab

not much more difficult than anyother route on this wall

tricky to chose the right crimp

really great way to end the day

a battle

soft

an excellent warm up

Good at bottom, a bit squeezed higher up

Rather thin in places, just how I like it

Draws were on already. Love the position.

Apparently first direct nonMcDougall start

If you are short a short stick to clip off the top of the blackboy is comforting before the traverse

Cliping 2nd bolt had me sweating scared. Then quite nice pump with one more tricky quickdraw to place- must be Bundys route!

Low jugs a bit flexing but fun moves
