Ascents in New Zealand as various tick types

holy moly this thing is rad but also nuts and way too hard for me atm. figured it would check it out after doing bogus. did 3 of the hard moves.

another futuristic project. found some spicey beta for the crux. will explore some more.

made some good links but send still feels a little far. mega route much psych

Well maybe I can do this huh. 4th bolt to top. 1 hang

(31 cos original finish)

(original anchor so 31)

2 1 hangs. Could have gone if I pulled a little harder?

4 attempts.

Having a play since the rope was already up. Too much stretch to work on TR, will lead next time. Could make all the moves except two, but damn are they hard! Might invest time in this one.

Still not able to make a couple of the moves. A lot turns on getting the heel to stick. Feels good to try something that feels on the edge of possible.

Bit of progress today, have now made all but 2 moves. Need to find a way to make the heel stick.

got about two or three moves from the standing start

Made a couple of moves but well above my pay grade. Could be a decent project.

Amazing climb. Should have tried this a long time ago. Next session.

Got the first half of the climb but the throw to the jug feels very hard!

One attempt today, but better than last time. Holds were quite dry compared to the rest of the routes in the cave

Gonna take some work but suits me.

Got a bit of progress but still far from the send. The wettest day in Waitomo!

two good tries today, the deep start was very wet today, couldn't pull

worked on the crux move couple of times. I'm getting there

Too hard! Not my style.

5 Attempts before the fingers gave up haha

Accidentally broke the finishing jug so now it's a lot worse of a hold making the last move a lot harder, could be a hard 9 or even a 10 now??

Two attempts, started the hard bit. The first half is fun wrestling with lots of jamming and kneebars at grade 24ish

end of the day went to check the moves, few hard moves in the middle after watching the beta vid seems no harder than Gastonberry. excited to get back on this one

Just dogging the easy bits....

Opened the account, worked out all my moves up to the headwall then bailed when the nut was almost off my bolt and the next one was missing entirely 😯

started dialling the bottom section back in, top the same as coma so will go as soon as I get the flow on the bottom.

ooosh... another punt off the top of a route 😂

Opening the account on this pumper of a line. Made basically all the moves albeit with much dogging and dabbing. Will be quite the task to link it all together.

Bottom section felt easier today but crux seemed harder. Will keep chipping away at linking moves.

Very Araps style

Getting closer

Agonisingly close! Fell 2 moves before the jug flake

Thats one thin crux!
