Ascents in Tasmania by topher

Took a few goes to get the crux move. Pre-clipped 2nd bolt. Easy holds after 2nd bolt lead to the left, but continuing up to the right of the 3rd bolt makes a much better climb.

Solid climbing for first two bolts, with traverse moves making it feel longer, but then it's all over.

Last climb of the day, fingers didnt have enough in them for the start.

Much pumpier than the Chessboard. Glad to have spaced good rests, but still not hanging on by much at the anchors.

Much more involved than it looks from the ground!

I had always heard this was a bit of a testpiece, but apart from one move, I think it's actually easier than Sandy Bay Road. Still, it is a nice climb. Only needed 2x5BD, 1x4, 1x0.75, 1x0.5 and a large nut. Could eat up plenty more mid-sized cams in the easy stuff after the crux move, but not really needed.

Really happy to get this. Climbed the start and traverse much more easily than expected, then came the rests at every opportunity. Even though I wasn't far from popping off a couple of times, I wish the finger crack section was longer. Next time I think I might try traversing in on the Split Column traverse and work my way down towards Ultrahard.

Climbed it better than a few months ago, but still got pumped. Alice got the onsight.

Always really good. Should try linking P2 and P3 next time.

Not very sustained, with awesome rests at bolts, but plenty of great moves, and would be easy to mess up the sequence in the top crux.

Did the LH variant start. Got it, but not easily, and then discovered the bulge was really pumpy but managed to get through it.

Climbs really well, and enough to get a bit of a pump working.

Currently quite filthy, and the bottom two shrubs could do with large trims. But really good solid climbing the whole way, and the most awesome knee jams I've ever done. Would be great to get more traffic on this one.

Foot slipped on smear in crux and took a good whipper. Blue alien popped, but wire below was bommer. Smashed a tree at the base, will need trimming to remove spikes. Toprope first next time to figure out crux move.

Really cool, and felt fairly easy for the grade. No really defined crux move, just a bit sustained in the top half.

Really can't ask for much more.

A nice feature but don't screw it up going for the first bolt, and make sure it has been cleaned!

Some really fun moves and a couple of ways to do the crux. Possibly on soft side of 22?

Really damn pumpy and powerful! Best to stick clip 2nd bolt and not mess up the start. Probably need two more days to get this one.

Quite a lot of decent climbing, but definitely a little contrived in places, and only just sufficient gear!

Definitely not 2 stars, but there is some nice climbung between the contrived line and climbing up another route (with separate bolts) several times

Awesome little climb. First thing in morning, got really bad flash pump faffing on the bottom part and couldn't remember if top half was hard so was sure I was going to fall,

P1 only. Alternative access to Opthalmia P2.

P2 only. Beautiful climbing below the first bush.

P3 only. Lovely climbing

Very sharp, several loose blocks.

Really good and unobvious. More climbing in it than expected.

Intimidating start for a 16. Easy after the first 5m.

Thought I was on the 'unescapable' direct version, but apparently I accidentally followed the logical line and escaped. Not great, but hard moves and good for a pump.

A couple of ok moves, but overall pretty average.

Awesome moves the whole way. Crimp fell off in middle of getting around 1st roof, now hold is bigger but less positive. There must be an easier way to do the first roof part if it's 22!

Thin hands felt hard!

Pleasant enough, but not really sure why it gets two stars.

Nice climb, but waiting for that block to pop out!
