Ascents by Scott Lacey

Fun little climb. I led it using the single carrot which doesnt really protect the top but the moves at the top are pretty easy so anyone who can get past the bottom half should be okay to top out safely

Gave it a few tries and just couldnt stick the first few moves which are hard...seems hard for a 21 but maybe I just need to get stronger!

Seconded it after Grace led it for her first ever trad lead and first ever first ascent!

Fun easy trad lead shame it's so short

Fun laybacking up the flake

Short but fun moves on big jugs

My favourite problem in Queen's Country! Fun moves and a top out that was a bit scary to commit to because I was bouldering alone but I got it! Awesome feeling!

I led pitches 1 and 3 and James led pitch 2. Last climb of the trip and a really enjoyable climb on great rock. Even the chimney at the end was fun!

Got to the top and could do all moves but just couldn't link them clean. Although it's short it's pumpy and fun with some big moves to reasonable holds. Really enjoyed this route plus it was in the shade! Need a cam or two for the top

I led pitch 1 which was very easy and James led pitch 2 which was much more scary and exposed even on second! Amazing pitch though, the position and the moves at the end are fantastic

Did about 3 different sit starts on the back of the boulder, there's lots of room for different variations

Got up early to do it on a day where it was supposed to hit 47C. Amazing route everyone who comes to Araps should do it! I led pitches 1 and 3 and James led pitches 2 and 4. Very easy but thoroughly enjoyable climbing, had no gear in on pitch 3 and the holds are so solid that you never feel worried, I love Arapiles rock!

Topped out as the sun was setting. Lovely way to finish the day and another great route

James led pitches 1 and 3 and I led pitch 2. Extremely easy climbing but nonetheless very enjoyable, the step across the void is great fun too!

James led pitch 1 and I led pitch 2. Fantastic route, went to the right at the end of the second pitch after the roof and definitely recommend that - a fantastic way to finish the route, steep exposed climbing on massive jugs to top out. Amazing fun

Lead it in one pitch. Fantastic route!

Nice juggy problem

First day at Arapiles and first ever trad lead. Great climb to practice leading trad and placing gear and in the shade for most of the day as well

Seconded after James led it for his first ever trad lead, another good route to learn to place gear on

Nice problem

Awesome dyno

Really nice problem if you're tall

Fantastic problem in an amazing location!

The whole problem is fairly easy and the mantle only feels harder then the rest because it's a scary topout especially when all the holds are still dirty!

Awesome problem! Best one I've tried in Queen's Country! After spending all afternoon working it finally got to the good slopey holds and then just couldn't commit to the dirty footholds for the top out and pumped out and fell instead

Pocket climb in far left corner again felt weak and heavy. Foot slipped and I banged my knee against a hold the hardest I've ever banged it! Man it hurt and that was the end of a very average climbing session

next yellow along

2nd red along from treadwall to a couple of goes to work out starting move past box then did it clean

Black on back slab couldnt get past the box felt heavy and weak

1st yellow near treadwall for warmup

Fantastic traverse! May be easier for someone who is shorter (under 6'3") and has smaller hands but for me it felt like a V4 so that's what I'm going with

Repeat. Fun problem

Really fun problem, not as committing as it looks as all the harder moves are down low. Seems pretty easy for a V4.

Who would have thought two moves could be so fun! Great problem!

3 attempts and 3 broken holds! Is it even worth it?

Easy little problem

Fun enough short little arete problem

Nice, easy V0.

Fantastic traverse, harder and better than I originally thought. Maybe easier for someone who doesnt have hubcaps for hands and can match hands in the pockets. Far more technical than I originally thought it would be...Still a work in progress...

Good fun problem. Short but probably feels around V2.

Gave it a couple of attempts, seems bloody hard! Good work James on the first ascent!

The easier sit start

Pretty average short problem

Easy fun jug hauling
