Ascents in Blackboard Wall having Beta

Barefoot, feet got tired of smearing - when in doubt run it out

Benefited greatly from Ben's beta and tricam suggestion

Rpt, alzheimers os, the slimpers felt pretty slimy today

Rpt. A bit sandy, gave it a brush.

Missed the onsight, slipped just before the anchors. Note to self - black rock get hot in the sun.

One hard move, took a couple of times to figure out the right sequence

Nice challenging warmup, pumpy at the top!

Figured the moves for third bolt also, felt way stronger and committed on the wall. What I was missing in previous attempts was my commitment and feet placement. So happy to get this!!! Feeling motivated ✌️

easy way out

lovely mantle move

Kinda painful but thematic climb, crimpfest for sure. This climb test your body position.

Crimps worse than yesterday's heros, but still very secure. Getting to the third bolt pocket is definitely harder for shorter climbers.

Great climb with tricky start

Perplexing start to an exciting finish. I dunno if I'd ever find myself on this again. Potential for painful fall seems high.

Hard

Did the first couple of moves but couldn’t get to the jugs. Felt much harder than Dangerous Currents which is a sandbag at 22.

padam padam

Sick crimpy

Lovely thought provoking climb with relatively friendly crimps for the area

hangdogged to stick clip each bolt. super choss and full of dirt and webs

from the halfway jug it seemed like a 20

The draws were on, worth another lap

Tricky sequence! Didn't feel to bad once I figured it out

Fun thin climbing, pretty surprised with the onsight

Messed up the bouldery start, lowered and sent. Great climbing!

Nice crimpy climbing. Easier than it’s neighbour DC, but feels harder than 20. Pleased to get it clean on the first attempt.

Many holds were dirty from run off. Tried going up left at the second bolt on the first attempt. Tried up and right at the second bolt on the second attempt but fell. Restarted and stuck the move on the third lead attempt. Feels hard for the grade.

So many different styles at Berowra - and if you like brutal crimps this is the sector.

Def spicy at 20 but good fun

Cruised through the lower half but got pumped on the upper half. Need to work on faster movement.

Wanted to try this for a long time. Thin sharp and desperate but felt achievable with some work. First to second bolt I need to work out a foot sequence to gain the right hand crimp above the little seam. First attempt worked out some nice beta through the mid/top section but fluffed it on the second attempt. Being tall helped in the top section but made me feel a little pretzeled through the bottom half. Fresh skin and cold conditions and nailing the beta and I’d like to think it could go

Pieces together in two sections. The 25 grade comes with the severity of how sharp the crimps are. Honestly just sharp! Haha but fantastic sequence and demands trust in your feet and body positions.

Glad I don’t have to climb it again. The crux is to reach the second bolt. Failing that a ground fall is likely. Someone please put another bolt in between

Terrible as a warm up

Enjoyable climb with plenty of good holds. Was quite scared of falling today with no particular reason. Will have to practice falling and send this next time!

Old dog. Nice and technical

Terrible for a warm up

It's just not a 19. Every hold is massive albeit sandy at times. Comparable to 15's nearby, just slightly longer.
