Ascents in Grot View Cave having Beta

This is definitely a soft 12 due to the rest.

Hard. The extension is gonna be really hard.

Took 3 sessions

Very frustrating. I keep falling at the last two moves.

Did not go well due to wet holds.

Finally. This is a solid 10, but not as hard as The Line of Fitness V11. Too many tries.

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

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

its long...

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

I had two successful go on this long route and both times passed the Power Puku and stuck at the crux of Frank's Better Half. I needed more power endurance to finish the climb

Felt super tired!

I had four good attempts on this, with no flaw in the execution of moves this time but I think I lack power endurance. Hopefully, it will go next session. Good training day!

1stGo. Finally sent this climb in my 6th session with more than 18th attempts. Very stoked!

Seemed harder than the other 7/8 (Cave Jam) The deep start gives it difficulty and power endurance over the other links. Could be another 7... Let the repeats commence!!!!

Brilliant Line. V7 into V7 can't be another hard V7 can it? 😂 maybe 🤔

LastGo of the day. Pretty cooked for this climb!

I think its about time we just give these sport climbing grades 😂

Great hard variation of Frank's Route. Stoked to get this line with Chris Hailey

Harder than Dirty Leon but not by much, if you have the deep start figured it's probably the same grade. great line!!!

Awesome line! again I knew this line by heart but connecting three different lines together was a great challenge for me. Very powerful, you get really pumped in each attempt. Recommended!

Fun line

I had another go on this, but not fresh! I fell on the very last move! Damn!

worth the effort, some power endurance but not as hard as Furiosa

First go.

Great addition to the cave from Chris Hailey. First go, but can't call it a flash.

First go.

Hardest of the 7s, long power endurance with awkward finish but well worth doing to train for the even longer ones 😂

After doing Franks better half, jumped on this, almost flashed it, jumped off on the last hard move after I felt the finger get filleted on the sharp jug... should have just done it as I was then one finger down for the rest of the attempts 😂 idiot!!! will get it tomorrow or the next trip depending on the damn finger.

3 rd attempt this morning after taping up 3 fingers and being a bit tired... will defo repeat this one later... last go before the top out got drenched

Gave it two good attempts but Felt very tired from the day before with sore skin. Good line!

#3rd-Go. Very good extension. Soft V7.

#2rdGo. Long pumpy problem but with a good rest. So stoked to get this ✅

My first proper session on this route. Gave it a couple of attempts but keep falling from the Franks Better Half's crux. I tried this route end of the session, but it should go first thing next session.

Finally, in my second proper session, I got the send in my 3rd GO. Took me two attempts to get the first bit, but the rest went smoothly.

This climb should've been ticked this session but the condition was not right! Had a few goes but only one was close enough!

1stGo

Fun

V6/7 into V6 probably V7 🤔

Last send of the day! It was as hard as Franks Route. I think it is a solid V7 problem.

First Go! It's a soft V7 I think but definitely way harder than v6's scale.

Warm-up. Soft v7 but hard for v6 scale.

I had a few goes for just getting the start dialed and two good goes on the line. It's an awesome and powerful variation of Dirty Dancing Extension. Recommend it! The grade stands on upper end of v7 I think. Need more traffic.

felt hard, like V7.8 or V7.85 🤔 😂
