Ascents as Top rope, Roped Solo, Top rope flash, Top rope clean or Top rope onsight as sport by Mark Gamble

Rather hot & sticky day.

Straight up it.

Would do more laps, but gotta tap out BAT + MM for rebolting.

Bit late in the day, baking hot sun. Note to Robert de Nero: don't start at 12:30. (Finally cleared away the mess at SOS = )

The unknown person who f'ed around with my TR setup had me spooked. So I clipped into the bottom 3 RBs. But nice to know I can still get through the crux clean. :-| (Spent most of the morning helping 3 climbers get setup safely.)

Should have pushed for a clean ascent. Spent most of the afternoon keeping the Norwegians safe. :-/

Last time on it today, still hands down easy. Early arvo, not many there.

Third time a breeze. Perfect day for it tho, not too hot.

Again. Super easy.

Like a breeze. Stone me cold, after 3 weeks.

Some sort of retribution to get it clean on the last fling of the day. Nice to see Proudie down there after some years.

Foot jiggled at the crux move: had to reset myself. Bummer!!! :-(

Didn't have the motivation to get it clean 2nd time round. :-(

All good, but rather hot after a very cold night.

#3 all good. Getting too hot. Cloud cover has dispersed.

#2 straight up.

All good. Rather empty for a Sunday.

Another clean ascent between the showers.

Good ascent.

A rest to get a photo of a moth.

Straight up. Definitely a game changer.

#4. Starting earlier helps a lot: avoiding the heat of the day.

#3, and all good.

#2 went the same way. Whoohoo!

The horizontal bar certainly makes a difference! Already cranking through the crux.

Whoohoo, went for it & got it this time.

Got through the crux, but had to rest below the overhang.

One rest. OK.

Forgot the climbing shoes, but got a good workout at the crux.

Whoohoo, the 100 ascents mark passed on this route. Still only one rest.

Tried, but no motivation or energy to get it clean. One rest.

Again, one rest.

Think the GF might be back. One rest.

Another 2 rests.

2 rests. Getting there slowly.

2nd shot not much better: 2 rests.

Basically - fall my way up it. :-/

Just not up for it. But we are working on it.

Still couldn't stick it. :-/

Fair bit of traffic today. Had to draw a number & stand in line. :-/ Couldn't stick the crux move.

Was looking good, surprisingly good, until I got to the crux hold: filled in with sand & leaves. :-/

Rope got messed up after I moved it for Jacob. :-/

Seems a lot easier. Some warm up on the lh has helped a lot methinks.

Holy cow, put a tick in the calendar when I get home: not only no climbers on the cliff, no cars in the carpark! What the.....

Fourth shot, after a break, also not a problem. It's all in the warm-up.

Third shot right away was also good

Went much better second shot.

The pain. Should have warmed up, massaged the l.wrist.

3x86 not bad for an old fart. (Mick Jagger can't get it, but I can.)

Pretty hot. Still in the shade thankfully. It'll only be 35° today - gawd. :-(

Whoohoo, clean first up! So the leading has improved things.

Whoohoo, bitova rest, then got it clean.

2d shot, worse, 2 friggen rests. Man, baking hot in the mid-afternoon sun. :-(

First go of the day=1 rest. Not too bad in l.wrist.

One rest second time round.
