Ascents in South Australia as Roped Solo

Cute

Fun!

Quick rope solo to suss out potential routes for later. Only found one carrot anchor, at the end of a ring bolted

Training

Fun. I spend too much time guiding here but the climbing is actually pretty good!

Finally climbed it clean! Really nice, interesting climb with good variety. Now that I've got a sequence, at my height it's a bit easy. But it took a while to get there!

Got it! Man that crux move (at the bolt) is tough. And I have no idea how you'd do it if you weren't 6 foot tall. Then finishing up the mini buttress is really desperate too, with one particularity sharp crimp. It'd be worth an extra star if it wasn't such painful desperation. Maybe when I'm stronger!

Still tricky. Decent route

You know what, doing it again today, this is a total ripper of a climb. One of my all time favourites. It's going to have to go on the lead list

Learning to use etriers. Awkward and I had to free a bit near the bottom, but I got into the swing of things eventually.

First ever Top Rope solo. Clean ascent, no rests.

Exit climb - clean - fully loaded with all gear.

Pretty sustained for a 16!!! I'll add the Rockclimbing around Adelaide by Paul Badenoch and Luke Adams have it graded as an 18...

Practicing full aid on TR. Lives up to it's name, has a couple of sketchy RP's and two lobe cams going on. At one point even had to larks foot two wires together to reach the next placement.

Two afternoons spent trying to lead Dial-a-Dingo (is hard) ended Spayed and Confused, best to Lock up your Furry Animals

Abseiled from above Nerve test, unsure was this one (easier grade) but...

Weighted the rope 3 times on the double black streak trying to get going. Granita (n) - "a coarse grained sorbet" - why then was I thinking of crumbly biscuits?

Second Top Rope Solo. Clean ascent, but lengthy dealing with ropes and under hang preventing smooth delivery of dynamic rope.

Clean - First Attempt - Onsite

Nice climb, only two hard moves but nice flow

Don't know if I did this one right, was on the 20 most of the time. ?.... ???

Good for a warm up or a first time outdoor climb
