Ascents in Hoppy's Cave by Vanessa Wills having sport-cpr or ascent-date

Rpt, two goes, clean second shot

Decided it felt easy on the first burn but the skin didn’t like it, then got super pumped on the send go after taping up.Thankful for the plonka rest.

2 laps.

Was surprised to feel so strong on this, placing draws as haven’t done steep stuff for ages

Just the back half via alt start into cave and onwards. Did it clean to last bolt second go, but hadn’t refreshed memory as to the last moves on first go due to heinous rope drag so fell victim to the Booladelah factor. Nice to be back here, but the rock is so sharp!

Places were dripping that I’ve never seen drip, but this was not too spoogy considering. 2 laps.

Rpt, if this is the one I think it’s easier than 22, more like 20

Rpt with Mel

A few routes on our way up to paddle the Wilson R

The usual warm up in light rain

Rpt. Couldn’t make bolts wobble but the glue looks like polyester (101) which should no longer be used as life is only 20 years which is what these would be close to

More laps trying to get fit enough to link one day....

Nice send by John, easier with chalk on holds. Top bit is good, you just have to get there

Just guessing at grade. It is a nice position, and may clean up with traffic, and provides another warmup option which is all good.

I wish I’d written down my beta for the start. I think I will just get on black leg miner again!

Rpt

Rpt, had to relearn start

Done about 3 years ago. Ok to blm anchors. Moves beyond that were part of original route and cruxier

Some nice pockets, shame the top is so chossy

Inspired by JTP falling just short, and some technical toehooking

Rpt

Saved a ground fall on this, very close, be careful before third bolt. Too scared to come off mysel

2 more laps to last bolt. Wet up top. Clean from toast crux to half way across traverse when my foot got stuck. Lucys knee bar pads are great!

A brief session last week and one today. Just working from the crux of toast to start of traverse. If I’m ever going to get this, then it should be this year with Lucy and Mel. Have to work those knee bars.

Crap first couple of goes today then I got annoyed and ticked it!

Didn't quite sit on every bolt. Had forgotten how painful it is.

Plan worked. First shot today. If this rain keeps up I will turn into a roof climber

Warm up, warm down Rpt

Rpt

Rpt

A bit chossy and not that sustained, but fun boulder problem mid route

Several laps for warm up and warm down

The draws were on karma getting above, so I had to revisit this sharp not my style piece of toast. Have forgotten all my refinements.

did the crux nicely and nearly rolled off as the finger tape undid

Not sure if this had been climbed despite no tags, so just in case......

Pretty crap rock, and a finish in bird poo detracts from the odd good move

Short but like most things very steep and sharp.

A worthwhile link up

A different warm up

Had previous top rope ascent, led today

A bit Ledgy, but I am sure will prove a popular addition with nice exposure and an easy roof move.

Rpt. Impressed with my own onsight, had a lot of trouble at the start today, though it was hot and slippery

The cave warm up!

Rpt, seems to slowly be losing rock at the start

Doing the old- I'll clean it on TR trick. Pumpy.

Short but sweet.

less steep than route to left and I find it easier

Took me a few painful goes to remember start moves to third bolt. Another bolt after the 3rd would be great to join into this route. Tricky traversing.

Great moves, flexing reinforced flake is nice

Hard start, glad I had preclipped!

Hard start, great moves through roof

Great climbing. A bolted on flexing flake

Pommy made me do two laps on it. Major dogfest and more enduro needed

The lower moves are good- chossy over roof

Did it very different to Frankie

Its raining again!. Sharp and steep but kinda fun
