Ascents in The Devil's Kitchen

Dan smashed this. Could be possible for me but will need work. Start facing out. L foot push nubbin, R foot toe hook. R hand, R hand, bodyt

Awesome! Came together easily.

Cool moves,...stretchy finish, sent it pretty quick,....first three moves are absolutely sick, in a good way!

And not simply content with finally sending a V7 I had to go send another one. Almost the same sequence. I think it was also 4th attempt. Hardest move is getting established on the starting slopers, the roof jugs and mantle and easy.

repeat

did a couple of laps on this one at the end of the day,...cool alternate finish over the left,...still good fun

warm-up repeat

Tried this a few times going directly across. Foot keeps blowing but the distance isn't too bad. Defeated trying to re-tick it the other way

Not V7

pretty good for an eliminate

Went down surprisingly quick, somewhere around 5th go! Cool thuggy move to start with and gripping finish on the headwall,...very nice!! Not sure about grade though, felt easier than 9 for sure!

repeat

did a couple of laps at the end of the day,...heaps of fun,...even better trying to traverse left as far as possible

another nice mantle on the short headwall next to Dark Side

First attempt wasn't really trying and caught the lip, then fell awkwardly into some stray milk crates. OH&S warning! those things are a hazard. Then spanked myself with probably 30 attempts at this single move campus problem, catching it on half finger pads a third of the time. Will probably go quickly when fresh.

repeat

Lanky arm power got it done.

A fun long dyno and last problem of the day before rushing out of Oatlands and back to Hobart, only to return a few hours later and collect our wallets, phones, bags and camp chairs that we'd left in the Rumble Cave......It was all Ili's fault

Awesome campus start, my new favourite warm up at oatlands

Managed the link into Darkside once but still didn't manage to do the crux of Darkside. Very cool and tensiony moves leading into the even better Darkside. Flooded in 2016 with usually around 10 to 20cm of water underneath.

worked it for around 4 hours straight,....got into the crux several times after a bit of sussing out the moves, but man, this thing is hard! Heaps of fun though,...will be back on it SOON!!

worked it again today with Marine,...only for about 20 minutes, couldn't stick the pinch out left anymore,...better friction next time

got to a new high point on first attempt,...then spent another 20 or so attempts on trying to avoid the gnarly swing. Feeling closer to getting this done sometime soon

got to a new 'horizontal highpoint' today. Psyched!

did it heaps of times, good fun with the little bit of water left under it

warm-up repeat

Really nice easy heel traverse problem, fun!

Cut my hands up on this. Its fun but super sharp at the end!

Around V11 to even just get your feet into the roof, very very hard and attempted to get both feet into the roof a good 100 times, managed it somewhat once or twice but immediately exploded off the holds. Very very hard to establish. Landing flooded in around 2016 and usually has a good 20cm of water underneath.

worked it for while, bit weird but fun, will try again soon!

tried it around 50 times, blood blisters from catching the dyno but no send, got realy close just couldn't hold the swing, maybe next time

gave it another couple shots today but didn't feel as close as the last couple of times,....maybe next time!

Worked them for the first time today,....some success, no tick unfortunately

Finally ticked the first half of this one, should have gone down last week but was quite pleased being able to do this one on the first go during today's session. Tried the second half, but it still feels quite hard, need a couple of sessions on it to work out good beta.

Repeated Anti on the first go of the day, felt really good and not too hard. Nevertheless was unable to do it again at the end of the day.

Finally did the second half of the Antichrist. Took me a while but got the beta sorted at last. Now its time to start giving the whole thing a go

jumped on Antichrist today for the first time, pretty hard, need to go back with more time

worked it with Marine and Simon for a good 4 hours. Have done all the moves and almost linked half of the second half. So first half done, last quarter almost done, middle needs some more work!

Worked the first moves to the first rest. Can hold things that previously were just silly, but no massive progress yet
