Getting easier... but still long to go

Draws on and sent today! Great moves the whole way on this..

Unbelievably good! Best effort was a one sit but ran out of steam after the last draw. Super keen to get back on this, puuumped!

Mega!

2nd shot today after hanging the draws! first 27 in a while. Had everything come together with good conditions, remembering my beta and feeling pretty fresh.

three working laps. falling off getting to the break under the roof the first two goes. fell off on the top headwall final attempt.

Warm up (with a rest or two)

3rd shot of the day, a classic test piece. Ben figured out some sneaky undercling beta for the start that worked for me, then I fell off going for the final jug twice... good endurance training I guess

3 working goes. High point on the head wall.

Apparently I could do the start of this two years ago, but I definitely couldn't do it today... The rest of it is sensational though (x3)

Yup, harder than NA

🪠

Pumpy and fun

felt a lot harder than I remembered. Couldn't pull the moves on the headwall.

a lap up to the roof, one sit.

Wet headwall. Climbed to the roof a couple times.

Missed the second hold on my onsight and fell off! Lower down, jumped back up and onsighted the rest! Probably can't claim an onsight for this one!

Was fairly unimpressed by this. Kinda contrived and just not that enjoyable. Oh well.

Another burn. Went as far as a bleeding finger would allow. Got the start boulder which felt sick. Pretty stoked on progress. Keen to sus the rest of the route.

Amazing climb from the technical faceclimb until couple of powerful moves at the end. (7)

First x3 laps today, managed to link to the sequence just before the roof. Amazing climbing and an awesome finish.

3rd go. A great pumpy line. I was screamin' like some sort of...I dunno

3 goes with a million attempts at that hard/sharp start. Unreal climbing but not a super fan of being so close to the other routes.

Had a play on TR up to a bit below the roof. Shit load of moves I couldn’t do today.

went up to try the roof and headwall for the first time. definitely need to relax a little more through the roof. the headwall is pretty tough, and will be a real fight when already tired.

trying to get a bit more comfortable on the headwall

Leagues better than Navel Aviator in terms of quality climbing!

Couldn't figure out the start on my first go, so pulled past to see what the rest of it was like

Exploring the top - jugs through the roof but a definite sting in the tail when you're tired

Figured out some feasible beta for the start, now I actually feel like I could work this thing properly
