Ascents in Mt Stapylton Amphitheatre as sport by Phil Neville

The day my back gave out. took over 18 months to get back from here

Hmmmmm

Good day at the office.

First 8a

Stoked!!!!

Gold. Kept falling after the crux

Super fun big moves

So rad. Tried a few times years ago and couldn't sort out a good way to do the crux. Willby beta set me straight. Steady as she goes 2nd shot today.

Trixy little number.

Couple of goes years back. 5th shot this season. Excellent climbing when you know it. 28 I reckon.

Finaly improved my life, first go today!

That I am! Some cool moves down low and sweet pockets up high, spoilt by the most ridiculous anchor clip ever! Fell off the last move on the flash.

Epic Over. I hereby retire from dirt wall...

Not quite a warm up. 2nd go. Probably a warm up once you know where to go.

Bouldery sections split by good rests. Top is funky! 2nd shot.

Fantastic top section.

Back in the day. No idea when.

The pussy wasnt worth the pain i went through to get it... Bouldery start

Very Very TrickY!

Super cool boulders. One hard move on slopes at the first bolt I struggled with, rest felt great. Solid link from 2nd bolt, through crux to just below the top. Totally doable. Will be back on a cooler day.

Progress. Did the first boulder from the ground. Linked from bolt two to the top. Stick with it!!

Linked from the ground into 2nd crux, but felt miles away from doing it. Linkee again from there to the top. Baby steps. Need to ramp up the power for this thing, and have it 10 degrees cooler.

New beta unlocked 2nd crux. Game on!

Smackdown! Felt 3 grades harder than last time. Strugled with both boulders

New beta, i should have listened to mike from the start, sorry coach! I didnt think i could get any closer without doing it than last week but apparently i can.

Sooo freakin close, one sit. Rad bouldery moves and an awesome delicate finish.

FAAARRRK!!! I was cruisin till my brain turned off. stoopid.

Like catching up with an old friend... or enemy. Happy to still feel realy close after being sick for the past 2 weeks..

First time on it in 6 Months. Felt good, fell at 3rd last move, also did the link from the 2nd bolt to the top. Refined some foot beta also. Need to get back on ASAP.

What a ride. Techy slab weirdness to start, then crazy roof, with super tension boulder problem up high. Get keen people this is great! Could be hard for the money.

One move

Hard. Keen to get back to this.

Choker! Took a monster plummet looking at the the anchors.

This is really bloody good, and hard to boot.

Cold, wet and damp conditions.. still got close. Fell of the shield then climbed from below shield to the top. I am the one sit master this trip (Father O, Shallow Water and this)

Refresher burn. Bit hot today. Really quite fun.

Couple more shots. Pumping out after the shield. Sorted better beta after falling same spot in 2nd lap. Just need a little more fitness. Good training route.

Sooo Close, one silly fall. Next time.

Strugle, strugle then strugle some more. At least im getting fit...

Very cool, espessially the finish! borderline classic.
