Ascents in New South Wales and ACT as Working

Decided to rapp down after pitch 4 as we didn't want to do the last pitch in dark. Also learnt that unfrequented long trad lines wondering on sometimes seemingly blank limestone walls can be very time consuming to navigate and be mentally challenging.. This route gave me a moment of pondering to myself about why the hell im out here.. But afterwards cherishing the moments and craving to do it all again. Led pitches 2 and 4 which were both great! Mostly found lots of good pro on my pitches and I sure made use of all of it. Sadly we probably didn't do the best part, The top 2 pitches, and are keen to return for that.

Crux commitment is terrifying.

Plofff!

actually my dream climb, punchy moves on small crimps! 1 out of the 2 moves done and I can’t wait to come back 🙏

One of the V13 that feels doable for me, Bryan's beta is a little bit easier and fits me better, but still require lots of figure power and core body strengoth, hopefully I can link the moves together next time I come

Rad! All moves done except crux, need to come back with more focus next time.

Lots of falling

So good and so hard.

Did all the moves except the 2nd reliably. mega mega

Session 1: Really have to turn it on for all the moves in this one. The start move was way bigger than it looks on video, but we got it knocked off relatively quick(5 attempts). After that worked the 3rd to 5th move as the landing off the second move was just too rough and I was getting a headache from the impact of slamming the mats every time.

The dyno is probably going to be the hardest move for me, building up the mental game to make that throw off the heel will take some time to commit to, did a few practice jumps off the pads and a few off the heel. But it will definitely be the hardest.

Overall - everything you could want from the first session, moves getting dialled in, micro beta adjustments for the feet - this could well go, eventually.

Session 2: First move is absolutely dialled. Worked a lot on making that second move with extra pads to prevent my head rattling around in my noggin' too much. Finding the micro beta to make it consistent was challenging, finding the heel placement, the right toe and latching the hold with hips tucked in the dead space really had me worked. I don't think I can cut on the second move at all due to my height so I'll have to really hit it with precision and tension on the send burns. Slowly but surely the climb is coming together. Next session will probably be dyno focused as it's still very much in my mind and I feel mentally stuck on it even when I visualise the moves. Hopefully with enough throws it will feel second nature.

seems vaguely possible. pulled on and held the pinch for a split second

first go on this one. start feels ok to the throw. very sequency. more beta needed

First move is nails rest seems plausible

Pulled on a couple of times definitely want to work this one when I am fresh

Still working the if the shoe fits part.

After a bunch of sessions I lucked out and by some miracle linked from the start to basically the second last holds before the mantle.

Finally stuck the low move to the jug. Hopefully not long now!

One shot, made it to the crimp but couldn’t move past it. Doesn’t seem too much harder than Shape Shifters, just pumpy!

Got alot of the moves and want to project this for the future

Something like 5 sessions in and its Feeling really really close, Kezzas beta is jugs

Had some fun chaining the second half together. Cool crux with the knee-bar to fist and hand jam went well.

Fell off the end twice ;(

Feels really reasonable and kinda close, definitely keen to get back on, wouldn’t stand a chance without Kurtis’s beta expertise

Holds felt about half the size today and was still so so close to holding on, just didn’t kick the kneebar in right. Definitely could go next time. 🤯

Have made some significant improvements to the beta, slipped on literally the last droppable move, with a mangled pinky in not jugs Connie’s, so pretty confident for next session with acceptable connies

matching on the rail is mental, other moves are fine. orgasmic line

Had a few quality flash goes, some Gumby convinced me I needed to full crimp the crux which screwed me for most of the session, as soon as I went back to the 3 finger drag I was back to letting go on the last move. Not sure if I suck or it’s the 85% humidity, should onsight next go

Mainly just belaying and getting some mellow footage

Can't latch the first move yet, but a cheeky heel cam makes the second RH into the pinch, up to the third sloper then LH pinch RH jug much easier. LH match then bump out then RF heel. Traverse then cut. Overall Big crux first into a long traverse sequence.
