Ascents in Oceania as Roped Solo as sport

Very nice balancy/technical arete

hangdogged forgotten all beta

Great climb. I did a bit of hang dogging while working out the moves again.

First lap on TRS. All moves done. Relentless. Will take quite a few sessions

Finally clean lap on TRS. Avoided all the choss by climbing on the right side of the arete. Time to lead. 40’30”

So rad. Keen to send it on lead!

Another crack at TRS, this time on something harder. Figuring out some efficiencies in my setup & getting more confident.

As for the route, found it absolutely nails. The layback crux was brutal, and I think even without midday sun and shit condies I’d have had a nightmare on it. Ended up aiding through it, couldn’t get any purchase at all on the slick rock w my dirty shoes.

first crack at TRS, somewhat janky but it worked pretty well.

not super stoked about my rope landing on a heavily-used tampon but i guess it was due a wash anyway… oh KP…

3 laps direct through crimps and undercling 1 lap though the better holds

I was trying an alternate start, bridging across by the first bolt and also layback the corner. It didnt work for me this time. The route actually goes up in the corner-there were some blocks there to start from but they have been removed.

TRS laps, getting off the ground is really hard for 21, maybe I’m being punterful tho. everything else seems on grade.

Pumpy warmup.

Got there with several rests. Hard 15.
