Hillwood Bouldering Rock Of Ages Boulders Premium Lager Boulder | ||||||
V5 | Cascade Light - with Nick Hanson | |||||
Did the original step off, once the top is cleaned a bit more, now that the tree is gone, it would make a lot more sense to go all the way, but definitely will gain a grade

|
||||||
V0 | ★ Export Lager - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 3m | ★ Good | |||
Fun little number with big first move
|
||||||
V1 | FA Traditional Ale - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 3m | ||||
Nice addition to the area for some easier climbing with a good landing. Opening move is not a gimme

Good little number with spicy finish through the dihedral over the nose
|
||||||
V8 | ★★ Strongarm Bitter - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Very good new line just right of premium lager. Starting sequence is shouldery and fun into a burtal mid height sequence. Not dabbing is a challenge but doesn't take anything away from the quality. Definitely a must do. A even lower start might be possible? Elliot swooped in for the well deserved FA, I'll have to come back for it very soon
|
||||||
V7 | FA ★★ Wizard Smith - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 5m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Fun little addition through the centre line, opening with the crux of Premium Lager and punching straight upwards after.
|

V7 | ★★★ Premium Lager — 2 attempts - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Very classic climb, fun and hard opening sequence to a sustained but easier top out with a less than ideal landing which can be well protected with enough pads.

|
||||||
V6 | FA ★★ Paying the Toll - with Sam Tolman, Brother Odin | 4m | ★★ Very Good | |||
Great line on funky holds with a little bit of everything from crimps to slopers, more difficult than it looks and top out certainly isn't a given but very fun overall.

Maybe nothing to write home about but still somewhat classic? Hard first move, from a mono and a sharp pocket. Doesn't happen often enough, or maybe just the right amount of times, have not made up my mind just yet. It's what nightmares are made of but climbs just as good as it looks. Definitely worth getting on!

V4 | FA ★ Brother Odin - with Lochie Spotswood, Elora Fabre | 4m | ||||
Great little climb with nice finish, needs a bit more traffic and might be a tad easier once it's seen a bit of milage but definitely worth climbing. Spotter in the tree is not a bad idea
