Ascents in World by Nick Cormack

3 Sessions. Night time session with a good mate. Powerful and good climbing. Surprised to do it quickly but then again I spent 5ish sessions recently on a v8 at the frontline so I'm guessing I got lucky on this one.

So close 2 years ago then stopped bouldering. On the comeback.

Great longer line.

unreal climbing powerful and techy. 5 days prob and first 8A.

3 sessions. Arrived at about 8am and had it done by 8:30. No spotters today so was probably too scared to fall off.

Best line in Sydney? Many years trying this thing with good friends but the last month's solo missions with my little shadow Lilly have been the best.

It is not the Grampians in terms or rock quality but the moves and that it tops out make it a great climb. 4 days over 4 weekends.

Made the most of the good conditions. Used the heal on the big start hold, pretty sure that is okay though.

Under the roof was almost dry! Used heel on the toe smear used at the start of detonator, pretty sure this is okay but the Fathers of sissy should advise otherwise.

Low percentage first move. Cool to get closer each try until I finally stuck the first slap. 2 sessions.

So good. Have been frustrated with the wet pockets on this for a while and managed the send. Stoked.

Stoked. Scary sandy topout. Somehow my hips are more flexible than a couple of years back when I last tried it.

Things dont get much better. Thought I'd give it a quick go as I have never been able to stick the first move. Well stuck the first move and each shot after that I fell one move higher until i fell face first on my belly on top of the block. Very unexpected. Great moves and just cements in my mind how good a line L'Homme is.

So good. Its funny, the first move is hard (and good) but doesn't seem to add much difficulty to the problem.

After more than a month of work finally got it. This problem rocks.

So Good. Spent a lot of time at Alfreds point 6+ years ago. Went back with Shay last weekend and almost did it. Back on Sat by myself to send. Freaked out a bit topping out.

Prob v9 at my height. Stoked did it after Groove Terminator. Done before 9am. What a morning.

One day lucky ascent and first send for 2015. Just barely made it to the jugs and then kinda wished I hadn't so i didn't have to top it out. Beta and live send example from Damo who sends everything these days. Surprisingly the kids didn't cry while I was negotiating the slab.

wicked pinch, just cant do the top for love gun. there is also a traverse that heads from the start of love gun and finishes up stringybark but roof climbing the whole way which is good. prob weighs in about an 8.

Low start is a nice addition. Started on the undercling so Stu would be happy but honestly doesnt make it any harder. I reckon this is v8 not 9.

Excellent climbing & great micro crag.

Flashed the one that finishes up Happy Camper.

A fantastic boulder, one of my favourites. Stole a lot of skin and two gruesome flappers until I altered my sequence. I found it hard, perhaps due to my short wingspan.

Great climb and tough whether you use it with the heel or not. Took 9 years to do it heal free. 2 sessions in this half decade.

3 days worth of effort but was freakin stoked when I got it, although my shoulder hated the big move to the pocket. A good start to my year. Only 68 more moves until Ive done the wheel of life.

So good. Generous grading.

Unreal. Crumbly just keeps giving.

Havent boudered in a while so good to repeat

Better repeating this on the same day

the big taverse out right feels dirty. L'homme is the line and lets face it I ain't strong enough for that yet.

In a session. Ugly send with feet cutting etc but no one was there to see anyhow.

3rd day, found it tough to work out beta that worked for me.

punchy and pretty fun. did it in the dark with junior as my tail wagging spotter.

funky tensioning thing. The 15 pads underneath me took the edge off. Respect to anyone that sends this with just one pad and a spotter.

Very satisfying. Didn't take long but felt impossible initially. Hit the pocket and then was too gripped to fall.

Bring plenty of pads and spotters and then enjoy as its excellent.

Once you get the beta and if feels doable is when this problem is a classic

Techy. Wanted to do and tried on and off on rainy days for years. First time I have been there when its sunny and managed to string this thing together twice.

Excellent and a lot of options so you are not restricted to only one way to do the moves. 2nd shot, very happy.

Did prob in 07 and about 5 or 6 times today but not what I was after.

Powerful, slopey and tensiony. 1 day asc. but lucky to do it before shoulder packed it in for the day. Another day out with Jughead.

Classic in its contrivances. Might have done it before but who cares I really like this climb. Done every version between v5 and v8.

Multi season seige. Took a long time to knock this one off and been close so many times this season. Ticked in prob the worst conditions I had been on it which was sort of satisfying.

Yeehaa. Last shot of the day with a saggy core and dimming lights. 4 days (i think). Certainly my style, once you start you dont chalk until you clip the anchors.

Very psyched to hold the crux crimp. 6 or 7 days work

Better than sunshine I reckon. Was a nice surprise to do this today. Feeling ready for Spain.

Fantastic climbing all Feb and March. Fell 3 times at the final Jug in March. Ticked today putting the draws on. First 29.

Dang some small holds on this thing. (5th Shot)

Small holds and techy. (5th shot)

Should've done it the week before as I fell twice yes twice at the second last left hand jug. What an idiot Back this week and did it putting the draws on. 4 days work. Hey sideshow bob next to it is even better and HARDER for less grade currency.

Cool climbing, very excited to clip the anchors 9th shot over 2 days

Dang that clip is hard, moves are tough too. Watch this space as it will go over the winter. . . . i hope

v7 boulder? First 28 stoked.

1 shot, moves arent too bad, kidding myself if I think I have the fitness at the moment. I'll be back in a year or so.

Sport Climbed. Ticked at 8pm on Friday night day 4. A big challenge for me as it was so foot intensive. Couldn't do the crux on day 1.

One fall on the 2nd shot then downhill from there. One rest is FAR from ticking on this route

Many shots. Unsure of grade as its a great power enduro route. Classic and techy chugging

Quite a number of shots over the years. Unreal climbing and happy to tick with a dodgey knee. Last day out before Ceuse.

1st go of season. My nemisis in 4 seas. I had not progressed at all on this. Tied in today to gauge my fitness and sent it. Was like a dream

First 28. Ive got on. Thanks to the beta JJ and Sharik. Hmm might be a long long while till I tick it but who gives a shit its such good climbing. 3 goes so far. 4 rests/falls is my best so far.
