Ascents climbed between 2012-01-01 and 2012-12-31 as various tick types by Ben Vincent

Finally hung around at the lip long enough to send it. A really slow thought out mantle was all it took. Not much at the top but slopers have plenty of friction. Good pad placement is essential.

Very cool and very high, pad-up for this one. Jug on the rail (complete with garden) is juicy, here you can afford a rest and shake out before throwing your left foot on the rail, searching out the high left crimp and even higher juicy right pocket.

Funky left foot roll and weight is essential. Desperate high throw to the right sloper.

Work to set feet right, high left pinch and a sharp right hand crimper see's you through the crux.

Good hand and foot jam practice.

Sketchy fall (if you were to fall to the right), take a bunch of pads and go for it. The right arete is better than you think, and jug at the top is very rewarding. Doesn't finish there though.

Very chossy didn't have time to clean and search for good holds but they are there.

Great warm-up sweet features

Good fun. Must at least touch the 'sharpest Mono in the world' on the way through even if you don't weight it - and you wouldn't want to.

Great climb. A little compressiony, sequency, and a good excuse to use your heels.

Cool problem, even cooler once April decided to send it on her way past.

Great route sent with the aid of some glorious wintery friction. avoid the finger shredding crystal cluster high and left and go straight for the juicy crimp just above them.

A good techy climb with cool features. Liking the garden!

Sweet mixture of juggy/slopper throws, finishing with crimpy moves, gets a bit pumpy at the top.

Nice moves.

Interesting little rock with some fun features on the nose. Great open hand slopers - no wonder Todd loves it.

Sharp right moves, reachy left side-pull, pocket and crimps. Cut sick on the lip, there's plenty of good stuff to finish.

Sweet problem with great moves and a high ball to boot. Awesome pulling of tiny crimps in order to head right into the void where you soon realise all the holds are gone.....hold in there, breathe deep and go high.

Sweet moves

Great open hand sloper (no wonder Todd loves it), but sharp and crimpy right hands. Very nice!

Worked all the moves for a bit and then went on a sending train with Nathan and Alan. A bit of everything, slopers, crimps, jugs, crystals, heels and palms, not to mention a classic crotch thrutch compression (oldie but a goodie). Oh and watch your dab. Do chalk bags count?

Even sweeeeter. Great moves, bit of everything and then it gets better. The extended top-out is icing on the cake.

Sweeeeeet climb. Juggy, powerful right was the crux for me. A little overgrown, but Alan soon located all the holds.

Awesome sequence on the rail, good stuff up top, linking the two isn't pretty but damn fun - Doin the worm!

Reachy. Privileged to climb it pre-flake removal. Another sweet route on the power boulder. Will try the sit start next year.

The type of route that would become better the more times you climbed it. Some interesting features, and a little sequency.

And a close second ascent please. Only did it so Brendan would stop giving me slack for forgetting his esky.....A neat climb. Might want to take some mats into the cave for crossing the void. Climbing shoes are also a recommendation.

It wants to be climbed but until you get you feet in the right place it wont happen. Once sequence is unlocked its a route to run up and enjoy.

Really cool low traverse, a little sequency before a rest on the vertical line. Delicate finish.

Yes the flake will hold you (unless crowbarred off). Really cool route, bit of heel action too. Nice find Alan.

Juicy. Really cool sequence, jugs everywhere and then a big left leap of faith which once stuck is definitely the highlight.

Sharp, no back jamming, just one massive cruxy reach for your left hand (unless you do what Carol does and heel hook like spider lady)
