攀登 in Jane Fonda Workout Wall as various tick types

setting up toprope

Pulled a reasonable sized hold off as I was moving up the easy ground to the first bolt - resulting in quite a scary ground-fall...

Three TR laps and still couldn’t do it clean. Quite a lot of options on the main face, and very sequential. Figured out the main crux quickly but the rest is a work in progress. Easily the hardest route at Fonda, and one of the nicest.

Hard, I can’t reach the second bolt to place the draw, neither move after the second bolt. Work in progress.

Absolutely mega

I've just acquired a project, some of the coolest moves I've ever pulled on a rope. Feels achieveable

Almost got to the ledge clean, then flailed and got winched up the top. Big moves up there and very sustained!

Emma did a great job leading the bottom part then I did the top, with the aid of the stick clip in parts. Big run-outs. I took a solid whipper just before the top bolt. Committing move to get onto the slab at the very top too

Third go. Climbed clean to the ledge. I was tempted to go to the Triple Point anchor after that and claim the FA of the link-up But after a rest I quested up the next couple of bolts. Good holds and great moves. Got the the undercling before a big move to left jug but didn't really feel like committing so called take.

Second go. Got up to the ledge and did the classic sit down and take in the view. Probably about 23 climbing to the ledge, technical at the start and a little more burly through the underclings. Climbs quite nicely I think. Felt self-conscious climbing off the ledge so decided to save the top for next tie-in.

First go. Didn't make it to the ledge Couldn't find the feet for the undercling moves.

After watching David on it, I believed a little more. I still managed to have a torrid time on the lower section. Wasn't in the best head space, didn't trust my feet, overgripped way too much. But I was pleased that when I got up there I could do most of the moves in the upper crux, which is definitely where the grade comes from. Despite not having a great time on it I somehow feel it is possible. It would probably be a long project.

Perfect cool and grippy conditions for a look at this off-balance and slimpery Roland Foster route. For the first go I just worked my way up to the upper crux and didn't have the mental energy to find the tiny holds needed to proceed further.

Finally got the beta all sorted after several attempts. A lot trickier than initially expected. Fell at the last hard move, one hang. Pretty stiff for a 6.

Close but no cigar. Beta should be well enough sorted for next session.

This line deserves more attention, really fun heel hooky moves once you get past the crumbly start. Took awhile to figure out, the holds and beta are not obvious. Stoked to return for it!

Trying to remember the moves

Was just going off the guide book and thought I was climbing melting point. I got messed up. Thought it was the most sand bagged 25 in nz. Ended up stick clipping my way to the top

Dogged my way up to figure things out. Unobvious climbing at the crux, but quite nice.

Climbed just after a rain shower. Foot blew at the very top crux.

Done every move on the first attempt, bloody great climb, looking forward to trying it again
