Ascents in Plant 3, The Rock Pool by Vanessa Wills

Finally, good friction today and no pesky tall people making me doubt my sequence

Probably only hard 23. Pretty technical to get into finger crack. Second go.

Mental note to self, don't have Jase and John as climbing partners trying to work out beta. Stick with tricky match, left foot up to small footer 20cm right of bolt and bump up through the scoops. Eventually you can reach the hold they get in 3 moves from ground. Long slings needed 4 th bolt. In shade all day this time of year, but finger skin wears out by second shot

Actually quite fun. Probably a grade easier with bolts.

Rpt. Pretty crap really

Rpt. Some ok moves. Potential for ledge fall is the down side.

Rpt. Need a long draw on second bolt as can't reach off good feet to clip, and you are on the ground otherwise

Can only have a couple of goes before tips shred, but overcame the reach with tenuous feet and funky matching . Need to try more than every 5 years!

Will have to find out different beta to get to traverse line as I lack Pipers span. Nice moves to third bolt, and had already done the finishing crack

Interesting start if you can't reach the jug, then very easy to anchors

Tricky start, I wanted to stem but ended up in a steep layback. Ok moves on face above

We did do this once on trad, but the flake off the ledge has disappeared making a tricky move to gain the face

Failed in the flared hand jam first go.

Rpt

Constructed for the modern climber because this is the way things are going.....

It was wet, but I am weak. Nice traverse.

The low traverse back to the start of traversity. Deep water soloing! Quite fun.

had to relaern that funky move to the shallow pocket

Getting to the 3rd bolt was really hard on sore fingers.

a few flakes seem to flex, but great moves
