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

This was taipans parting gift for the couple of days hard work and average weather.

After a couple quick working shots on the crux and a good brush I sent through the crux pitch and then went on to Onsight the top.

A climb that will stay with me forever and a fight that left me feeling totally wrecked. Amazing linking the top two pitchs.

A great long pitch to say you have climbed on taipan. Good gear the whole way with a bomber wire on the last head wall protecting the tricky and reachy finish.

Wooooo Yaaaaa The 'one last shot' for the send. Forth shot today with very varied conditions. The sun came out and I managed to stick the left footer.

Dyno pocket start, sustained 24ish moves to a extended crux with blind feet. I had to put a really long draw on the crux. I really liked this route, very hard 27 or soft 28??

Repeat. Pretty cold and soild warm up. I was working hard at the top when I couldn't feel my fingers.

Repeat, pretty damp start today.

The easiest and by sure not the best climb I have done down here. Has some cool moves on the Orange rock but the rest is so so, and then I rained..

Really liked this one, funky boulder start then good mix of fun moves and stone tufa's What's the story with the lower off chain miles back, bloody Victorian bolting.

Sadly not as good as I was hoping Some cool moves for sure and great rock but it kind of cuts left when the going gets tuff.

A bit of an odd one. Some cool moves on great rock but sharp and akward in spots. Did two laps.

Warm up.

Wow that's a pitch and a half. I tried getting all the gear in the right places with long runner but the rope got stuck in the first flake, mega drag Sent second shot but was really working up top and that first run out is very gripping!!

Kind of fun and a good adventure. Take lots of long draws.

Nice one Kent, a classic of the genre.

Wooooo, second shot super classic 7.

I looked at this a couple years ago and it looked nails, I was a little intimated at the start but the awesome moves all came together quickly and the big moves between good holds really suited my style.

Repeat. Nice to re-climb all these sweet routes.

Repeat, linked into the top of iron arms. Great long pumpy warm up.

Repeat. Super fun happy time.

Snatch the pocket then easy top.

Not that bad for a 5, I did it twice and yeah the top can be a little tricky.

Not really worthy of the walk back down.

Repeat. Cool problem, Mitch for the beta.

Repeat. Pretty hard first two moves then it's all jugs.

End of the day repeat. Pumper.

The grade on this one is a much debated question.. Hard 22, good 23?? The crux wasn't that bad for me but the roof traverse was another matter.. Some cool course slopes up high..

Cool old school route I got a little bogged down in the cave but once past it was long and interesting climbing on good rock and some big moves.. I tried going to the original anchors but took a big whip instead, much to the enjoyment of the peanut gallery.. A fun route for sure.

I am taking it as a retro-flash... Dogged up this once 4/5 years ago, first attempt send today after watching Paul on the moves. Classic mountains pumper..

After Paul did the hard work of putting the second draw on I went for flash. Not a bad climb but i wouldn't do it again..

mmm some of those holds may not last the test of time?? The climbing is fun and we linked into the top of under pressure. A little scary in a gripping kind of way..

Wooo, great to get back and really enjoy this classic that I remember finding so hard and committing many years ago. All class.

Pretty crimpy for a 20, I thought it would be one one crimp but there is two.. Short.

Kind of good climb with a hard move at the second bolt then fun easy climbing to the top. Pity about all the glue..

Sandbag myself on my own route... Harder then I remember, nice to pull thought second shot. I may have to bump this to 25

Ticked screaming, took one draw off the extension and went on a juggy mission for the full tick. Awesome crew of Queensland super stars climbing at coolum today, super fun day.

Yep, something Specail for sure. I got boxed in at the last draw on the flash but walked it second shot. Lots of knee bars that just don't quite fit but such fun. Went on to flash the extension.

Two warm up Laps, it was pretty spooge first lap so I fell off. Fine second lap, short and funky.

Nice one rob, a little tricky to figure out down low but good juggy middle and fun steep arete finish.

Cutting pumper laps, such a rad route.

Funky fun, 6th lap..

Warm up with Mitch today, pumpy top but dry.

Oh plus this one as well.. Not bad but not great.. A couple of interesting moves keep you working.

Lappin

Warm down lap. One best routes at bell regardless on the grade.

Repeat. Super fun mostly jugs pumper.

A big tick second shot after a big whip first shot. Putting on some of the draws can be tricky but once there on its a much easier route. A unsung roof pumper of bell for sure...

Repeat, Still not 20..

Another lap, placing the draws this time

A quick lap to set up a rope for some photos.

Warm up lap.

Night Lappin

Night lap, nicer then I remember.

Repeat, I forgot about the run out..

Training lap. I caught Mitch with my head.

Warm up lap. Nice rock on this one.

Second shot today after punting the move in the second roof first time up. Super pumper route but I find last move pretty hard being tall. Plenty of jugs but steep the whole way.

Warm up repeat, pumping classic fun.

Finally.. Release the hounds! Second shot today, found another knee bar down low and skipped the crux clip.
