Ascents climbed between 2015-01-01 and 2015-12-31 as various tick types by Ben Jenga

Good to tick this off but what a mission. Nails for a 25 or maybe we were just having a soft weak day.

Something new for 2015. Second shot.

Keep my 100% success rate but only just....

I am soft repeat.

Well oh my, so psyched to tick off this 3 year battle. 14 shots over 5 visits, went third shot today after pulling a hold off on the last move on my second shot. Thanx for all the belays and team support.

Changed some of my beta on the route and finished with the big reach out right at the top. I can finally try different routes now

Always fun lap.

Lap

Warm down lap. Felt harder today, pretty stiff at 22

FFA. Going direct makes this route so much better. The move isn't that hard if you have a 6 foot reach. The crack is now officially out!!

Lap one, Onsight. Odd start but the climbing gets better the higher you go. The rock reminds me of radcat wall. A bit dick scooting out into the crack, but some cool holds up high are good payoff.

Bit tricky at the grade with a full body length roof and a funky face moves above. I linked into the 25 for a nice long pump. Probably 23 that way.

A good warm once you get past the pox rock at the start. Beta for this route, bring mozzie repellent.

Lap, all in your right heel.

Fun Lap

Warm ups

Stone fort goes down. What a rad trad day out in the gross and what an awesome climb. 98% good rock and bomber gear the whole way. Not that hard for the grade, I think I managed to sport climb any of the harder crack sections. Onsight odd pitchs, clean second evens.

If you have been thinking about doing this climb I highly recommend it.

Warm up lap.

Finally got around to doing Andy's route. Great action packed route with many funky moves. Thin sequence tic tac crux down low then fun big moves on sharp jugs. Suprised myself with a 3rd shot send by head torch, Yay Easier if your tall

Lap, short and tricky.

Funky warm up lap.

Good fun, some cool holds and sustained climbing

FFA. With the bogus weather I couldn't get on my main project so I thought I would clean this up. Who knew 14deg and 96% humidity was good ticking conditions.

Sick rig, just like a Nowra Boulder problem.

Training lap.

No quite as good as I remember but still a good pumper

Lap. Long warm up.

Lap. Has a move for a 20.

Warm down lap.

Soft 4 but good fun. Repeat.

Better then I remember.. Thin pull at the top.

Warm up lap.. Pumpy

Dead set the hardest I worked for a tick today.. Reachy and thin, glad I never have to do it again.

Well that was better then I was expecting but still thats not saying much. A bit of fun when your steep arms start to fail.

The draws were up so I gave it a lash. Really fun sub 25 climbing up to the middle double boulder. Punted the crux second shot, boned down and snuck through for a third shot send.

First 28 in a day

Well I like it, easy to avoid most of the harder moves, but will still warm a fine pump.

That start boulder on cold fingers...

Sandy and not that pleasant but I didn't want to leave unfinished business.

Pretty soft for a 5 but a fun roof problem.

Just as well this is mostly jugs because they were all very damp today.

Probably not V4 but a bit of fun.

Sandy jugs.

Lap 5, could be the best 5 at Bell.

Getting much better with traffic, much longer and pumper then I remember.

Great to repeat your own routes. Its pretty 'on' from the big reach at the start.

Yep fun fun, think I may have cheated the last move of the top crux by finding a jug?

Sneaking repeat. Thankfully it feels a little easier then when I first tried it.

Some nice rock on this.

Re-warmup lap. Felt hard today, really hard to drop the clutch for that last move.

Lap. Finished up Paul's route for something different.

Fun route Wade, once you get past the start.. Lots of jugs and a few tech sections to raise a good pump.

Not too bad at all, 16 back in my day felt a little easier..?

Sweet to clean up this 3 year dog.

Well it hasn't gotten any easier, in fact I think I got more scared and pumped this time.. My hats off to Damo for a clean chalk-less second.. I was gripped.

Onsighted all the odd pitches, clean 2nd all the evens.. Why have I waited so long to climb this gem? After getting a rope stuck on the mirrorball rap and having to queue for the start..? I was thinking it was going to be one of those days but as soon as we left the ground the good times rolled on. 2nd pitch is pretty gripping but I think the 3rd pitch is the best fun.

Thankfully Geoff put the 17 draws up so I could sail through for a quick send. Great long route with a good rest half way. Should see more traffic.

Heading up for extension, cleaning up nicely and sure to ensure a good pump.

Perhaps a bit better then I remember and harder.
