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

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

Straight up it.

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. :-/

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

Again. Super easy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

All good. Rather empty for a Sunday.

#2 straight up.

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

Straight up. Definitely a game changer.

A rest to get a photo of a moth.

Good ascent.

Another clean ascent between the showers.

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

#2 went the same way. Whoohoo!

#3, and all good.

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

One rest. OK.

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

Whoohoo, went for it & got it this time.

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

Think the GF might be back. One rest.

Again, one rest.

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

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

2 rests. Getting there slowly.

Another 2 rests.

Basically - fall my way up it. :-/

2nd shot not much better: 2 rests.

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

Still couldn't stick it. :-/

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

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

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.....

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

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

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

Went much better second shot.

Third shot right away was also good

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whoohoo, bitova rest, then got it clean.

Not many down there tonight, perhaps 6-7 all up, but heaps of picnicers & BBQ'ers. Good to see.

One rest second time round.

2 rests. L.wrist pretty F'd.

1 rest - whoa!
