Ascents in Nowra as various tick types by Mitch Scanlan-Bloor

Brilliant big moves and knee bar to keep the pump at bay.

End of a chapter. Superb.

Powerful and classic SC style. Shout out to Lewy for the inspiration many moons ago.

The undercling is a lie.

Stellar thin climbing. Just don't pause to ponder how thin some of those holds are.

Stout crux after some cruisy climbing.

Nowra season day 1 yeaaaaooowwww! Finally got this dog off the list. Stellar pumper but some dicky clips. Nice to have some dry holds at The Hood for once.

Many a season in the making! Had multiple goes on this beauty in days gone by but it went down just fine today.

Superbly techy. Felt impossible until I figured the beta out then it just flows. A Nowra must do!

Surprisingly not shit.

Barely caught the crux crimp then with skating feet, slipped my way up past the last clip and managed probably the messiest send of this route ever. An exceptionally cruxy climb, but damn those moves are nice!

So damn nice! One of my fave 8's at Nowra. Once on the lip it's 13 moves of glory.

Weird weird weird. Loved it.

It goes! Tried this years a go and got spanked HARD. Have been meaning to get back on it ever since. Punchy moves on awesome rock. Solid for 26.

I doubt I'll find a route that will better suit my strengths than this! Big moves and big holds. 5th shot!

Blast through easy territory to a great rest then a rad boulder to gain the anchors. Need so much accuracy for the deadpoint to the pocket! Could have gone on the 2nd shot or 200th shot. First send of the season, feeling good!

Man this thing packs a punch. What a finish! Tried this one many times over the past couple of years.

This project was all consuming. Had the bottom section on lock, but boy did I fall off at the top A LOT. Bring your forearms for this rad pumper. The send: https://youtu.be/VxMC9jYER2s

The routes on this end aren't all that bad. Good alternatives to the usual SC warm ups.

Much better climbing than I'd anticipated. Quick send after figuring out the tall man beta. First 27 in a day!

Felt like a dream pulling the moves as the sun went down and the wall glowing orange. Probably the hardest of the four 'classic 28s' but boy what a climb! Powerful and sustained climbing on slopey crimps. Rad.

Birthday send! Key beta is to be >6ft tall and have tiny child fingers.

Quality climbing throughout. Excellent conditions for it today.

Some excellent slabbing. Onsight after the first move.

I distinctly remember walking under this route on my first visit to Thompsons and thinking "one day...". Stoked to finally tick it!

Eat your greens.

Powerful radness.

One of the best at the grade.

1 move wundah yewww.

Laybacking gets you extra fit I swear!

Haaard.

Just harder than sunshine, but the top moves are really quite rad.

Saaawft.

Jammin' to victory.

The brown badge of Rosies. Shitty moves at the bottom and then cruise to the top.

Loved it.

Nails hard.

Not a fan, sorry kids.

Definitely pushed my limits.

Glassy.
