Ascents in Norton Summit having Beta

two unsending laps, but hard for me after having fought with little trundle street today!

Not too bad, for Adelaide it could probably do with another star! Can't say I worked out an elegant way at the top, and even on my third go still almost dropped it before the fifth bolt! Worth doing though.

Have to work out some more beta for the crux pretty bunched what others do

Quite a cool climb took one go to find the sequence got it after that. Similar to Other routes here big move to good hold rise and repeat.

Proud to have dogged this classic to the top finally. I had watched so many people going through that epic roof, it was aswesome to get through the moves myself for the first time. Feels hard, so much to work on, but I can finally start trying

First go this morning!! Andrew's beta through most of this, with Trang's footwork in the crux, Mike's drop knee after the shield hold and Akira's gastone + stepping up to undercling. Perfect conditions, perfect execution, massive teamwork beta, haha... Ross, I promise next time I come back I'll try your sick kneebar, but I needed to send it this way first

How many times can a man fall from the same spot — keep an eye on this space and I'll let you know!

For next time though: Andrew & Trang's mixed foot sequence through the crux, Mike's sick right drop knee at the top and Akira's gastone. Teamwork might put this together

Been ages since I last tried this. Hung a fair bit as I was working the moves. Made the moves clean while bolt to bolting the first 3 bolts. Couldnt fully remember the beta for the finish and tried out the direct. Got it but felt pretty tough.

Felt good to re tick this. Just had to be a little more dialed at the top.

Such a fun sequence going into some iconic moves

Pretty hard 23, but I can see if you know the climb.

A little cleaner and higher than my last burn. Still got a little too pumped going up to the undercling at the top. Fun line and good training for me.

Warm up. Not as smooth as last week.

Went down smoothly.

My fastest 25 tick yet (third burn). Maybe I’m finally getting stronger or better at climbing?

Such a great route and my style for sure. A few tricky moves between great rests.

Going for a repeat. Forgot some of the nice beta past the shield hold and created some new whacky double Gaston thing at the top. Pumped out try to get the main undercling at the top.

Three attempts — I'm better off with Trang's footwork through the crux, but don't have the endurance to do well on 3 attempts unfortunately. Maybe the weekend?!

Warm up. Much better this time around clipping from the high holds again.

2nd burn to see how far I could get and how much beta I had locked in. Turns out mostly all of it was locked in. Only 1 sit.

Felt so fun to blast through the RH Gaston crux and cruise to the rest. Really enjoyable climbing and pushed on and up to the main roof. Created an marginal kneebar in the roof to try and adjust the LH on the point to get a better kneebar but it was a real struggle. Made the LH crossover and then went LF first to the next hold when it was meant to be a RF. Couldn’t reverse or cut feet to swap as I was pumped. Had to hang here.

This route feels so awesome! Can’t wait to get back on it!!

First try on this. Felt very hard. Easy climbing up to first bolt and then a very cruxy move out right to a RH Gaston. Took me a while to get this after trying it multiple times.

Once past this it was fun climbing through to the first rest. The next sequence up to the roof UC looked trickier than it was for me. Once in the roof though it does feel a little on again.

Getting the body bar rest first time around felt awful. Was very active for me, felt cramped and like I was going to slip out. Almost felt better to do an inverted kneebar off the same holds and then even going above and kneebar while standing on the body bar hold instead.

Was good climbing to the top.

Was just a little cleaner and more composed. Hit the LH side pull perfectly and it all came together.

Great route! Deserves as much attention as ANZAC tbh.

Did feel a little easy. Doesn’t feel as long or as sustained as ANZAC but maybe it has a slightly harder move or two?

Tried to see how far I could go. Managed to get to the second bolt on the head wall before joining ANZAC. Didn’t hit the LH side pull as a side pull and was pulling down on the hold. It’s really not great in that direction. Fell bumping the into it proper. Felt really close on this burn. Really fun climbing!

Sloppy “it’s been a while” warm up on this. NICE!

Bolt to bolting as first time on. Felt pretty good. Bit of a weird start leads to nicer climbing. Felt like a long way to the draw below the roof but the holds were really good. A crimp then a precise LH side pull on the head wall before joining ANZAC. Quite decent! Will be a pump manager for me I reckon.

A lot of fun, I don't think anyone should ever stop at the anchors of Grurper DS, just take 4 more draws and enjoy the Anzac headwall I "onsighted" the mini traverse between them, but there were draws on Grurper and I've done both original routes, so logging a cheeky RP here...

Small improvement. One fall in each try, but footwork is getting much better, I can see the light!

its been a while, still my antistyle

Great day with Ev. Almost hit the triple crown of climbing the 3 mega 25’s in a day (trundle, stroll and crossroads) couldn’t hack crossroads at the end as it got way too hot. Next time!!!

Think this was the one we did Haven't got a clue what goes where on this wall

Never climbed on rock this glassy in Australia before, one of the best at the grade in Adelaide

Got to the 4th bolt clean for the first time, clipped it and climbed for another 3 or 4cm, haha... highest point so far though.

Have it a go on TR. Greasy. Hard.

Lap 2. Much better beta this time around after refining some moves

First time in a while on this. Did some pretty unconventional moves and took a bizarre rest on the Grurper ledge.

Fuck! This felt hard and sexy!

An ace problem in its own right.
