Ascents as sport by Alexei Drummond having Distinct route

Fifth attempt and second redpoint. Repeated it for a nicer video. Still a lot of mucking around, but it felt better! I love this route even more now after the repeat!

Really nice route. Happy with the onsight.

Gets thin before the rooflet and then traverse right is a bit tricky. Nice.

Wow! Why does nobody climb this? It was very dirty. Quite a good route and a stern test through the top two bolts. Aptly named and I got this one by the skin of my right toe. Great way to finish the day!

Wasn't psyched for more climbing and so didn't try hard enough for this. Then just aided to the top to clean it off.

Gave it full onsight effort. Was pumped out of my gourd clipping the last bolt. Fingers uncurled and I couldn't do the last two moves to the anchor until I had rested on the rope for 5 minutes. Very very bad warm up

Warm up. Full red point. Felt quite pumped pulling the bulge after the last bolt

The diagonal left traverse to a big sidepull before clipping the second to last bolt is the crux. I chickened out and grabbed the draw Oh well. Relatively easy besides that and a really nice climb.

Still had to try really hard to send it second go. I definitely didn't have the best beta, but this seemed hard for the grade compared to other routes at the crag. #2ndGo

Nice little route. Quite off-balance in a couple of places, cool movement.

I made this a bit harder and more shouldery around the third bolt than necessary. Alex climbed it much better.

Redpoint. Easy on the second burn now that I knew where to go. #2ndGo

Nice climb and about all I was capable of today

Redpoint. Felt great on the second go. Had heaps left at the top too. Very nice climb! #2ndGo

#2ndgo

Really nice route. Apparently my choice of finish after the last bolt was a body-width left of the sanctioned route because I took a left hand hold in my right hand My theory is that the true line is always whatever the visitor says, not the local. Since the visitor is the one looking at the route with fresh unbiased eyes!

Cruisy if you watch somebody on it first

Easy #2ndgo once I knew where to go for the slopey top-out.

Nice route

Nice introduction to the black wall

Funky moves through the first three bolts.

Red point. Actually a very nice climb the second go, with the beta in mind. Deserves more traffic. #2ndGo

Had to fight for this. Clipped the first 5 bolts of the line (The last bolt was just over the lip). Then I sighted a tick and an anchor a bit further right. The climbing is an easy slab from there, but then I realised I had probably trended right to the next anchor along (X factor?), as there was another anchor to my left at the top. I clipped both anchors before calling take just to be sure. So this is either an onsight of Shotgun Therapy or potentially an FA of the link-up route Shotgun Factor (presumably the next anchor along is for X Factor?).

Red point to lower chains to clean off gear after Alex took a bad fall.

I am not good enough to warm up on these glassy slopers

Happy with this effort at the end of a cruisy day. Rad climb, but a bit of polish at the start almost makes it the crux

Onsight! Bit tentative before finding the jugs to clip the first bolt. Then a crux move right from the mono. After that it felt very smooth up to the bolts Very happy with that!

Couldn't work out how to get to the second bolt

Bolting between 2nd and anchor a bit spaced. Hit the left arete just below anchor bolt.

Apparently this move into the groove has defeated me on redpoint. Routine in isolation. There is also a full rest before it, so I have no excuses apart from being a really bad climber.

Lazy day

Nice varied climbing. Generously bolted at the bottom.

(Wet) warm up. Mostly easy except one move at the bulge where the damp footholds put me off smearing and I fell trying to do it a stupid way. Pulled back on and went to the top.

#2ndgo nice little route. Easy with good beta.

Crux is around the 4th bolt. Should have tried a bit harder but I was feeling pretty knackered from the bouldering comp.

Thanks to beta from Villa

Very pumpy Didn't have enough juice. Too many bolts at the top

Tried to climb this by starting up Love Vigilante and then traversing. Managed to do that, but apparently it is not the intended line, which should start directly from the left arete. Got to just below the last bolt, but was tired and my skin was way too sore after a few days of ignimbrite, so I carefully down-climbed to clean the route, which was its own type of fun. Seems closer to 23 than 19 to me but I will split the difference.
