Ascents in Oceania as Hang dog by Ben Hanley

two shots on the nails start boulder problem but couldn't stick it. one go continuing to the anchor to check out the higher climbing.

very technical route, not the right choice for a warmup

got through all the tough climbing to bungle it getting pumped and anxious on the jugs above the high crux...

getting close. fell off the final hold before the finish jug twice...

stick clipped passed the boulder start for a warmup

great climbing until the final move, with clipping the chains being a crux in itself

first session properly trying to work this. moves felt tough when hanging the draws first go. Got agonisingly close on my second shot falling off on the final move before the top jugs...

fairly straight-forward climbing up to the dynamic pocket catch, with some sustained moves until there to the great jug rest. Couldn't stick the pocket catch from the ground.

end of day lap, felt quite tough

three working laps. falling off getting through the crux.

endurance lap. one sit.

three working laps. falling off getting to the break under the roof the first two goes. fell off on the top headwall final attempt.

3 working goes. High point on the head wall.

got it in two sections, with a sit before the crux.

figured out tall person beta for the start, but still couldn't link the rest of it

straightforward climbing until the final bolt where clipping the anchors becomes the crux of the entire route

Fell off the last hard move on my first attempt on this in a couple of years, and then was too fatigued for my next go. Such great climbing with two technical crimpy crux sequences.

tough crimpy climbing, especially when you can't really feel your fingers very well

Still can't figure out the top bridging section.

superb face climbing. mega sustained.

3rd route of the day. not sure if it was fatigue but the high crux section felt harder than any the climbing on dopamine, but overall less sustained.

this doesn't feel like it can be the same grade as the routes either side. tough crux getting established on the wall above the roof

end of day very tired lap. got through the start boulder without too much trouble but had to sit on every bolt afterwards...

two working laps, trying to improve my steep climbing. High point of the roof on my second attempt.

one exploratory lap and one working lap getting hideously pumped. The early crux is tricky, to non-strop pumpy climbing above!

Threw myself at this, but after wrecking myself on cavity search I had no endurance left

The individual moves felt easier than previous, but my endurance is still lacking. Burly moves to start to endurance climbing above with only a couple of rests.

awesome technical arete climbing

Great climbing, with thin cruxes separated by good rests. Surprised myself onsighting up to the high crux before being spit off.

warmup

better than i remembered it being, with the final section being just as hard.

Great climbing with an interesting pockety crux sequence.

Felt very tough for the warmup… very much not my style of route

bouldery start to good rest in the middle. being tall definitely makes the final sequence much easier.

stiff anti-style "warm-up". hanging on the bolts doesn't get you that warm...
