Ascents as sport by Ashley Felton

Big, multi pitch fun. Awesome.

A nice climb in the corner.

Good mix of moves. Easy for the grade.

Straightforward, until the vertical drill hole/crack at the finish. Pumpy, technical laybacking to finish. Good times.

Short, but wicked good laybacking until the lip. Plus a good kneebar!

Excellent! Crimpy as all get-out.

Tricky second bolt is the crux, 8m runout after the fourth adds excitement.

I might have enjoyed this more if it hadn't started raining midway. Nevertheless, some good moves.

Nice warmup. I suspect I spent a bit much time in the corner.

A good intro to Blue Mountains rock.

Nice, easy for the grade.

Another nice one. What's with all the highball starts, setters?

Very good fun, this. Couple of tense, slippery parts - it's well worth slinging the tree in the gully prior to setting the next clip.

Decent enough climb, crimpy finish.

Good holds and feet. Felt easier than 17, I might have strayed a bit far right.

Decent climb, but unremarkable.

Slabby start, then a cruise up the arete bit. Good warmup.

Eh, it was okay. A bit muddy.

Easy start, trickier middle. A good warm-up.

Nice line. A somewhat tricky stretch between the 2nd & 3rd bolt.

Sometimes you just wanna climb slab.

Slightly awkward start, easy finish.

Very enjoyable, exciting mantle at the end (to which I won't spoil the trick).

Well (over?) protected and enjoyable multi-pitch slab climbing, though without many distinguishing features. A fun day out.

Easy enough to be relaxing, thin enough to still have interest.

Pretty cruisey, but I'm glad that we did it.

A pleasant enough warm-up.

Nice, easy warm up.

Got up with plenty of shouted beta. This is the best of what I climbed today, possibly of the whole crag. Remarkably consistent in difficulty over the entire route.

Pinchy, balancy and a little desperate. You wouldn't wanna slip while clipping the 2nd or 3rd bolts - decent chance of bottoming out. Be sure of your skills.

Has some interesting and chancy moves in the bottom half. Not ashamed to admit that having the beta made me feel a bit braver.

I liked this. Slopers on the last move don't feel like much, but they're sufficient for the task.

Fine enough, for slab.

Eh. Quicker way to get up than walking around the path.

Wild contortions to get through the overhang, then efficient moves to scale the arete. It's pretty doable, once you know how.

A super-satisfying, technical crux move.

Okay as a warm up. Pretty short.

A good warm-up.

Got it done cleanly this visit.

I enjoyed this more the time it wasn't pissing down with rain

Good clean fun, climbing up over the jagged flakes of gouging. Well-protected, but don't slip.

Decent warm-up climb.

Snatched a quick lead, between helping out the kids.

Requires careful footwork and some tough crimps. Somehow everything worked out right.

A spectacular day out. And it will be the whole day. The dicey long traverse was a highlight.

Fell of the crux, again! Even though I knew what to do!

Finally nailed this cleanly on lead, despite my apparent desire to reinvent half the moves each time I climb it. Classic!!!

The crux requires finesse to get through, not to mention a couple of serious crimps. After that, it changes up into a slab requiring balance and nerve. Recommended!

A sweet couple of moves to get through that crux. As good as I remember!

Finally got this classic dialled in and scaled cleanly. Such a good climb. Fist pump!

Surprisingly easy for the grade, though pumpy. A big, lovely, overhang jug haul.

One fun move, then some okay slab to finish.

Excellent route. Still seems beyond me to finish 100% clean, but there's always next time.

A good route, requiring a fair amount of trust in your shoe rubber.

Good warmup.

A good route, with one very nervy clip (the fourth) and a strenuous crux move straight after (took a couple of tries to work it out). The rest is straightforward.

A variety of technical and balancy moves makes this a really satisfying one to tick off. Got the two overhang moves dialled tonight.

A clean lead on a classic route, and a new personal best at that. In the sunshine. Life feels pretty good.
