Ascents in Oceania as Clean by Jill

TR lap for endurance training

Last climb of the brooyar endurance day with Grace and I think I actually managed this one clean or maybe I am delirious and can't remember, did I even climb it? Ha, that's what happens when we do 9-10 routes in a day and 250m.

Had one false start remembering the moves for the start and then lowered and tried again from the ground and got it clean. I was still so pumped from send me an angel that the rest of the day felt so much harder than usual to hold on, but I was happy to still get this one clean on second.

One second and one top rope lap back to back. Endurance training. I don't believe that there is a grade 17 way direct through that cave... would love to see someone do it, I escaped to the side, no "key undercling" in sight.

I think I got this clean but I am not 100% sure. Super old log now. I remember being sooo impressed by Grace's lead of this, especially the chockstones up the top. I think my big feet finally helped with something because the body crack wasn't too difficult to feel secure. Such great variety!

A big beautiful day out with Reuben for our 5th wedding anniversary. I am 5 months pregnant so I left him all the fun leading and just focused on getting myself and bubs to the top. I really enjoyed the climb! I think to be comfortable leading it you would want to be a solid 16/17 leader and have some experience with Glassies pro. There are quite a few runouts on the easier ground which could be a mental challenge if you weren't confident at the grade or in your placements. In my opinion there was always a bolt or some decent pro in the cruxy parts. The top pitches are definitely the most fun! We linked 2-3, 4-5, 6-7 and used a 70m rope. 5 hours to the top with plenty of snack breaks. 8 hours car to car (I was soooo slow going down the tourist track as my legs were spent) there was a lot of butt sliding going on haha

Seconding up behind Reuben 's onsite. Pretty cool climb. Had to muster up some commitment for the heel hook. Ahhh heel hooks! Will lead next time for sure.

I love this climb. Best way to finish the day! Sunset warm down climbing

Really enjoyed this climb!

Pretty forgettable climb... wasn't horrible but nothing special either.

Fun climb, probably next on my lead list.. top section was a bit hair raising stepping over the gap! Pretty easy though.

After working out what to do to use the arete, actually enjoyed this climb. Next time will have to lead it!

As the name suggests, holds galore! A bit sharp!

I obviously don't know how to climb this properly because it felt way harder than a 15... didn't really enjoy it. But it's probably just me Could have also been because Reuben needs to place better gear and I was scared thinking of his lead as I was seconding! eek darling!
