Ascents of Real Buggers Don't Die

Desperate start

hard start ahah

That start is super stiff with bad conditions, wasn’t even close to being able to do it

Forgot to log this one from the last session at Thompsons. Super classic! finishes in a awesome position.

it is indeed a hard start. Very doable though

Ok with the beta but still look 2 shots to properly latch the crimp and get my feet sorted.

Didn't read the start right tried a heel which didn't work. came off pretty un-enthused about it all until got some beta.

good

Pulled through the start. Shit slopers with no feet ..bleh

Start felt hard at EOTD. Rad features !

Very hard start. Also wasted time trying to finish on the face rather than sticking to the arete which was much easier.

Cleaned up an old dog. Went easy. I really like this

Quite technical down low and good all the way

EOD ascent. Fell at the anchors. This climb is really good. Tough technical start, burley middle to a fantastic move left off the arête to finish.

All good though tough after I yarded on the 1st bolt.

Flash placing draws but for the first 2m of climbing... Took me a few shots to get to the first bolt. Hard bouldery start, then pleasant climbing, to a spicey arete finish. I was so sure I was going to fall at the end I even called out "falling" but somehow held it together. Really great arete climbing. Thanks for the beta Neil.

Hard start.

Very hard start.

2nd shot. Not a bad climb with a hard start.

A bit techo but many good rests and good climbing

Don't do this climb after the rain - put my hands in 2 deep water buckets.

beat the rain

Stick clip the first bolt : )

Nice and technical. A little spiced at the top if you don't use BAB bolt.

for a star, this one needs a clean, hard start clipping the bolts....

Pretty tricky start sequence

typically Nowra. gets the grade in the 1st metre. thats it.
