Ascents of Better than Nothing

Instead of clipping the 5th bolt I whipped, that was an exciting whip

24 in Nowra

Jugs 😉

Putting draws up, taped fingers, not fully recovered from Saturday definitely felt not as strong but good to define beta

I thought this was awesome! Last dyno is absolutely wild and fantastic.

Took a lot of effort and skin to just stick the first dyno, but want to go back to figure it out to make it go consistently. I think I am doing it wrong, trying to cut loose from the jug on the right?

Don’t think I fell attempting the second or the third dyno, just needed to Hail Mary jump; whereas the first needs some accuracy and the feet to stay on.

Had another go on second to retrieve the gear, it sucks, better to back jump.

2nd go 1 sit missing 2nd Dyno

Surprised with how well this went

5 sessions to get it done bloody chuffed, awsome route

Sat on 3 bolts. Sorely lacking in stamina.

This has been on my list for 2 years and I finally decided to give it a go. What an awesome route!!!!

Did both dynos 1st go off the rope, but hard to tell how much harder it will be on RP. The hardest part for me was the setup to the sidepull before the first dyno.

Keen to put some time into it

Had a couple laps and found the moves a lot easier than last session but didn't want to keep donating skin before the weekend

This is such a great route. It was a pleasure to climb it. So much fun! Whose draw did I take from the start?

So much fun and nice to finally finish this off after a few sessions over the last few years

big moves, pretty fun. Low end 27.

3rd shot

No jumning in da pooool

Matched highpoint while hanging draws. Figured out it was important to hang my bum left before going for the final dyno to make happen consistently.

EOD lap because Luke's draws were on. Still a lot of fun, still no idea what grade to give it

A step up from the last time I tried this. Did all the moves pretty quickly. This route is an absurd amount of fun!

Fell going for the pocket. Figured out some important micro-beta for that move.

Fell on the second big move. More jumping micro-beta figured out. Pretty confident it will go soon! Thorsten came through with that sick 4th shot send!

4th go

Failed the flash. 2nd attempt..

What a route--unique. What an experience--unforgettable.

8th day; first go. Inexplicably effortlessly. Will want to climb it again.

A bit disappointed not to match the high point from last week. But maybe I learned something...?

New high point. I guess slow progress is better than no progress.

Disappointing day. A new high point, that's true, but I felt so weak.

Bigger links (all the headwall) and new high point (first proper dyno). At end of session I figured a much better way to clip the key draw. With that, it almost feels it may go, at least on a perfect dry day like today.

Day 3. Trying to make bigger links. Was hoping to divide the route in two, but just failed. A weak day, I think. Shame because conditions were great.

2nd session. Making some links on the headwall. Still a lot to refine to climb more efficiently, but it’s a very fun route.
