Ascents by topher having Trad CPR

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.

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

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!

2nd shot. Should have had the flash, but faffed too much. Figured out hand sequence at crux, all good after that. Roof crack itself easy but super fun. Keen to do more laps, but need 3x3BD first.

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.

Great committing starting moves followed by pleasant moves. Finished up arete instead of super easy chimney.

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

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.

Awesome finger locks, should do it every visit.

Sweet! Second go. Screwed up the crux sequence and took a whipper at the top after I didn't find a helpful foot left of the crack at the top. Things went almost perfect second time around.

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,

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.

main goal for the trip! a few nerves and a lot of resting, but wasn't too bad at all.

Really good climbing, but crack still a bit flakey. Access not too bad via Smileshine at The Jim, and single pitch mostly horizontal scramble to reach start of the climb. Cool moves on first pitch, changing into the more typical Cape Raoul burlfest by the third pitch. Awesome long section of hands high up on the 3rd pitch. Full 60m pitch to ledge, but other chances to belay from 45m.

Awesome, took absolutely everything out of me, and was trying not to vomit at the belay. Started in the wrong crack, with wet, slimy crap for 5m, but the main crack is amazing. Most of the crack is super thin hands, with a couple of decent rests, and feet to the R of the crack. Would be have been more comfortable with 4 #1 and 3 #0.75 cams.

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

Beautiful climb, but got pumped silly

A few fun moves, but would need to be careful with gear as the rock on the LH side of the crack at half height is about ready to come out.

2nd shot. Need to have feet sorted at crux, but otherwise a great little route.

Great and slightly improbable moves on the bolted section. Eases off quickly after reaching the crack.

Some fun moves, with a couple of hards bits. Took a couple of attempts to sort out the crux sequence. Would clean up very nicely.

Really wish this was much longer. Would be a nice lead, with good l9cks just after the crux.

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

Awesome pitch. Might only get 10d on some other areas because of all the no-hamds rests, but still great. Easy gear, lots of wires and cams <0.5. Hard finish if you go the wrong way.

Super hard, and would be a super sketchy lead. Tough bottom, pretty sustained, with a crux finish. Just as well the top rail is positive!

The guide is right. A little burly at the start, but generally fairly easy after that. Unlike most other climbs, the finish wasn't very wet of dirty!

Some slightly crappy gear near the start, and a super wet, slippery and dirty topout made this the most exciting climb for the day.

Pulled up ropes for "grade 8" start. Crack really easy to where it steepens, then awesome finger locks. Upper bolted part a complete change in character, and felt a little harder than 20.

Not hard, but definitely aware of the ledge.

A couple of ok moves, but overall pretty average.

Thin hands felt hard!

Start was seeping a bit, but most of the important bits were dry. Great fun first half, then a reprieve before some nice ring locks in the easier upper half.

Super fun steep finish. Will repeat each time I come here.

Took a couple of goes to figure out the crux, but got it! Nails move into the crack above the horizontals

Lead p1, follow p2. Good fun, took all the 2 and 3 BDs we had. Pretty steep for the pipes

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

Really can't ask for much more.

Awesome moves! Good rests, but makes unfit people like me work for it. Stepping of the slab and avoiding the barndoor is great fun.

Spat off Lethal Injection, but more than happy to do this again. Definitely easier second time around, but still not easy.

Felt good. Really solid, just getting a little pumped.

Satisfying to get on a finger crack. Top section was a little damp and mossy, but not too bad.

P3 only. Lovely climbing

felt pretty easy for the grade. just a couple of bouldery moves.

Dirty in the bottom corner, but amazing section of finger crack straight after. As good as a Squamish finger crack!

Awesome pitch the whole way. Definitely worth the stars.

Tried on lead first, wasn't game to layback the start. Reached high for small purple wire near too of crux. Couple of really nice moves above crux.

Surprisingly good, and more technical than it looks from the ground.

Excellent climbing with good rests and gear. Would be best to do in a single pitch, but had already used most of my thin stuff down below. Upper corner didn't feel any harder than the crack below, just intimidating with the ledge below. Great wires in corner.

Good finger locks.

2nd shot. Buggered it up trying to stay off Ng Man holds at halfway. Much harder without them!

Need to try it when it's dry. Moving from the finger crack traverse into the final crack was definitely harder than 10c without that hold.

Awesome moves on amazing rock. The only thing detracting from it is not very good bolting through the middle crux section - potential fall onto ledge. First half can take several small-moderate wires and cam to 0.5BD. Climbed second shot after mis-reading the crux first go.

Got the middle pitch. Got worried rapping down it, and completely missed the first bolt. Had a slip traversing past the second bolt and nearly grabbed the draw, but just managed to restrain myself...Burly!
