攀登 in Blue Mountains as Pink point by Jason Nguyen

Lap 1 / onsight ended when I climbed up and left at the crux. Couldn’t get across. Figured out the love afterwards , bloody hell there is so much chalk?!

Felt like the way I did it can’t be 23; from jug, big left move to sloper, right hand crimp, left hand two finger pocket, roll out and punch to crimp slot. Then can finally breathe after I hit the left side pull before doing the big move up.

Lap 2; all good but still decently pumped at the anchor.

Draws on and figuring out the moves on the first lap.

Sent on second go / first red point attempt, wasn’t expecting it but the moves weren’t too hard?

What a cool wall!! Hardest thing was putting on the third and fourth draw as a shorty. Took at the 4th bolt on the onsight lap.

Smooth send on the second lap, but with a healthy pump still! Super cool.

Repeat to clean, find me a better 16 in the mountains? Long with a lot of climbing for the grade.

Repeat, cleaning Still clipped that last draw at my hip…

Repeat

Decided to give the all-free version a go, my god that was SO fun!! Big cut loose swing and big smiles!

Onsight didn’t go very well, a lot of useless chalk around. One fall at crux with a bad sequence. Sorted the sequence second go then jugs to the top, but not a drop of chalk along the way, had to brush quite a bit of spider webs off.

I sent pretty comfortably second go. Much nicer with beta and draws on. No knee bar, oh, but I can get 4 fingers in the first pocket (with a squeeze)

Hop on now, the top is chalked! It’s not a sandbag!

First lap I skipped the start and was trying to sort clipping beta in the scoop but struggled so came down.

Second lap I skipped the start again and kind of sorted beta for the scoop then put the rest of the draws up.

Third lap, fell on the starting move, went too far!

Lowered to immediately try again, didn’t feel confident but hung on for dear life and managed to get the send!!! Didn’t even use the clipping beta I came up with! Super stoked!!

Had to come back after falling off the top last time. First lap to brush and check beta on the top jugs.

Sent confidently on the second lap! Awesome! First 27.

In approach boots to clean, wet up top but still doable.

Wasn’t planning to pull on today but Grape Hour had a 5 person line, maybe 20 people including 3 kids and 2 dogs at main wall???

First lap placing draws and brushing, sent second lap. Didn’t climb the bottom very well but recovered on the jug enough to send it! Don’t build a cairn, even I have to jump!!

Didn’t give it enough juice to get to the back of the hold at the end of the crux first go. Could totally drop it post crux too!

Second go, got through crux nicely but nearly came off afterwards trying different beta. Reeled it back in, did a mixture of my original beta and the different beta and just managed to hold on for the send. Super good.

A nice warm up, except I definitely did the crux wrong (big drive by) Repeat from 10+ years ago

Excellent route! First lap to hang draws and getting the sequence. Sent second go very comfortably, super good!

Unbelievably busy at the crag, over 20 people?? It was available but not a very good warm up.

Really nice climbing once you’ve got the sequence! Second go.

Unsent last time, happy to resend end of day today. Such good fun and probably the best I’ve done the slab!

Repeat, warm up

Onsight ended going to the 4th bolt, spent too much time faffing and trying to get the mud off my shoe too. Committing start (I have to jump to the pocket) but not too bad once you’ve got the sequence.

Second shot, nice and smooth.

Repeat, thanks for having the bolt plates and draws on Chris!!

Had to chuck a lap between Jacks attempts (and give the crux a brush of course) I felt very comfortable on it, so that was nice!

Up and down lead in approachies

Rpt

Climbs well, maybe a bit daunting if at your limit?

My god I was pumped. Did some real minging of holds because I couldn’t commit to the big move at the start

Soooo good

Repeat, not as nice as I remembered. Quite a hard top? (Went quite direct though)

Fun jug hauling, you can avoid the crux crimp and undercling if you wish

Nice climbing and features

Repeat, definitely soft

Second last draw still sucks to put on, changed my beta for the send (by not going extremely direct) and that made it much easier!

Right after the 16

Still rate this one. Awesome features!

Nice climbing up top

First go ended when I slapped a not-hold two moves from the anchor 🥲

Second go, climbed the bottom badly but remembered the top beta at least. Very cool and way easier than CTL.

Forgot all the microbeta and footers so I cut loose a few too many times, but went first go! Pretty happy considering I didn’t hit many holds correctly and also forgot the top beta.

Did a second dogging lap to put the draws back up for Jack and brush the holds.

Repeat, nice

Was feeling under the weather so didn’t intend to hop on, but the whole wall was in the shade so figured why not??

One lap for figuring out beta then second lap to send. No falls but definitely needed specific beta. Awesome slab moves. Zero leaps for me at 169cm with a positive ape index and some delicate footwork! That fortnight of doing the slabs with Ben at the boulder gyms paid off!!

Happy to have ticked everything on the little triggers wall now.

Repeat, very pleasant; would’ve liked to have started everyone on the easier climbs on the left but they were all taken, top ropes on almost everything! I’ve never seen the crag so busy but it’s been years since I was last here.

Repeat, nice and cruisy, hung around for a while helping caitlyn with beta for Starman.
