Ascents by Ben Jenga having Distinct route

Onsight yeah baby. First nowra 26. Pretty soft but I nearly fell off on the top crux. Beware of the man eating duck.

Sweet sustained little rig, it might be short but it packs punch.

Soft like Cotton candy but I will take the 27 onsight extension. A couple of crimps to a big fun move. I don't recommend lowering off the chain, back jump to the JH anchours.

Great to finally climb this, seems there has been a bolt shuffle. No run out anymore. Great fun and easier then spa-cal.

Well that was a surprise.... Fun pocket dyno start and a few other pockets and classic spurt slopes lead you up the the ledge. A good rest here then a quick compression boulder and a commiting mantel and your done. I really liked this, could do with a rebolt but the bolts are fine.

Ticked Biafra and kept on trucking though the roof to finish top hat. The roof press and moves were cool but the top head wall is a bit crap. I had a real fight to actually reach the anchors.

Sh*t Yeah!!

I would like to thank the locals Barney, Skanky Tail and Wendy for there support..

I wasn't expecting much from myself but after climbing clean through the steep crack start and keeping calm on the thin/funky face I found myself under the roof resting for the finally boulder. With a scream that would have made Ondra proud I topped the route :0 Happy days..

Shared start with the 25 then break right and crimp to the coffin rest. Take a couple of deep breaths and bone down through the thin moves and not so good rests to the top. Doesn't let up till you clip the anchors. Rad

Sure is a pumpy one, just have to keep moving. The crux move around the budge is pretty blind and powerful but rad.. Getting to the anchor felt like the hardest moves when pumped. 25/26?

Yeah Yeah. Hard thin start then each sequence getting gradually easier the higher you climb but the pump gets larger. Sick little pumper.

Sweet compacted trickster climb.I thought I was off at the 4th bolt but spotted a crucial footer just in time. This climb pays to just keep moving, got stalled at the last move but recovered just enough to commit fully.

Soft but super pumpy. I found all the top moves not that hard but reach move in the middle almost spat me. Pretty sandy start. Call me Craven Moorehead.

Pretty darn cool really. Juggy first half through a couple of roofs up to a cracker headwall then hard moves split by good rests. Very psyched to flash on Geoff's gear with a bit of beta.

Beta flash placing. Started with second bolt clipped, and first logical holds. Granted this reduces the grade but very contrived forcing the clip as part of the sequence after the Batman start. Fun route, short but sweet

Ticked screaming, took one draw off the extension and went on a juggy mission for the full tick. Awesome crew of Queensland super stars climbing at coolum today, super fun day.

Primo connies for the slopes on this one. Prefect gramps training

Warm down Flash

Went for the full spray beta flash and only just stuck a couple of the holds. Thuggy fun that is different to all the other routes at the egg. STEEEEEEEEEEP

Yee ha, a long time lusted route that I was super glad to make quick work of today. Crimpy, pocket fun with precise foot work and engaging moves.

Thanx for placing the draws and sorted the beta Mitch, next time for sure for you...

I am taking it as a retro-flash... Dogged up this once 4/5 years ago, first attempt send today after watching Paul on the moves. Classic mountains pumper..

Done and done, make sure you bring your steep arms for this one. No really hard moves just pumpy and a couple big moves. i feel like i skipped a hard move at the top by using a jug out left instead of the big direct move. Not a good route to take victory whips off.

I gave a local kid a catch on his project when he couldn't do the crux it was my turn. Super psyched to get this flash as it was on my list. Climbs a stunning orange streak and is never that hard just a little reachy in places.

Sliver service by Paul. Draws up, key holds chalked, beta sorted and gifted the flash to me. First move is the hardest but there are plenty more above to raise a solid pump with a tricky direct final move. Climbs really well for a choss pile

Thanx to paul for beta and chalk. Similar to the 5, plenty of rest and the top pocket roof Boulder. The top head wall was a sweet bonus even in todays rain.

Cool line that I have wanted to fondle for a while. The start is a bit pox but gets better the higher you climb. About 22 to the perma-draw then thanks to soild Mitch beta pushed through the 2 bolt crux and snuck the flash. Cool.

Sooo long, Emil had the draws up on this mega rig so I took the opportunity for a low commitment attempt. Really enjoyed the low arete, tricky slab and steep punchy crux. I agree on 26 and it would be an impressive onsight.

Couldn’t do the very start boulder first shot, solved the ledge boulder with a sneaky L toe jam. Surley this drops a few grades as the steep juggy either side of the boulders isn’t that hard. Second shot.

Bugger. Was saving this for an Onsight for years, stuck the dead point crux but them pealed off. Clean to the top.

All good second shot, that top dyno is super classic.

Second shot.. Mainly steep jugs and tufa's but with a very nowra like boulder crux at the 4th bolt, nail this and it's in the bag.

Stopped at the anchour under the roof as it was very wet above. Sick route with some very unique holds and moves throughout. Took me a little while to commit to the top all point dyno but it was gravy on the send.

Great tension boulder problem on cracker rock. We didn’t see higher anchors.

I am back baby!! First shot finding and chalking holds then sent second. Really fun climb that gets easier the higher you climb with a few punchy moves and a rad mono....

So nice to finally tick this classic, its been a long time coming and 3rd shot today in the cold. When I finally felt confident on the dyno it went next shot. Almost blew it at the top slab. Nails for a 6..

Good to clean up this old dog. Dynotastic. I agree with the old grade of 25, not to hard but quite griping for a couple of moves. The top vert wall moves are rad and somewhat unlikely.

Second shot after punting the throw. Lots of chalk on this atm, and draws on the 28. Fun little pumper, worth the effort.

Got it second shot. It should get more traffic cause its really fun.

Great route much better then it looks. Had a couple of sits on the first shot, worked the top sequence then wailed my way up second shot. The top 'easy' moves feel very soild when your pumped off your dial. Better then Ha Ha Wall.

Niiiicccceeeee All jugs bar the burly start and slab. Needs a retro bolt due to some silly bolt placements, a few long draws before and during the crux are very helpful.

Awesome Awesome Awesome. This route is the full package and its great to finally get it done. Should have sent second shot but punted it into the break at the top of the crux. Fell same spot third shot, tweaked the foot work then sent next shot..

Nails for a 6 but worth the effort.

Well that was a surprise. Super gnarly route with very commanding sharp two finger pockets and hard moves. Tried last year, sent second shot today. Really burns skin but Classic nowra climbing.

Should have been first shot today but put it to rest on the second. Fun powerful moves but pretty short and weird balance.

Another nowra mega classic. Gave it 100% on the onsight falling up high pumped out on my mind, its just so sustained!! Second shot sand bagged myself with a bogas foot placement using KP's golden beta. Plus one more quick burn after a 10min rest on the ledge until my hands turned to wet fish.

Chilled for a couple of hours and dragged my sorry ass up for a scrappy but happy last ditch send. So psyched for the send, almost blew the very top move..

A great sequence of steep jugs leads you to the powerful undercling move and sharp crimp finale. Second shot..

Its so great to get back to P.C in good conditions and try this long lusted after classic. Climb bolt to bolt working and scrubbing then pumped myself stupid on the send second shot. Sustained pumper

By the skin on my teeth, my whaling might have shocked some of the many bumbles in the area. Felt nails first shot but with refined foot work I just managed to sneak it. Very crimpy at the top and certainly didn't feel 'soft' to me.

Finally after all these years!! Third shot today, put some banging tunes on and sent easy.. Music makes life better.

Another onsight fail!! This one played with my head a bit, there is a scary ledge fall potential up the crux. I got it 3rd shot when I switched the ledge draw to a single binder and skipped the mid crux clip.

What a route to finish on.. I walked pass this route on the way home everyday and I was trying to figure out the perfect time for an attempted, last route of the trip seemed about right. Wicked slab steeping to a hard pocket sequence then tech tiny crimping head wall. All split by good rest jugs. Oh and a full size owl!!!!

Good to put this away placing draws after punting it a few years back. Probably only 25 but the designer bold makes it feel harder.

Finally came back to do the other one. Pretty stready to the knee bar then hard boulder finish, that right pinch is minimal.

Shit yeah, a wicked route to pull me out of my rut. One of the best routes I climbed this trip!! The pockets and roof flakes climb like a limestone route.

Super fun and not that hard but it still took me 3 shots, one of those moves that isnt to hard but easy to fall off.

So glad to finally send this route, second shot on the day. It was a bittersweet emotional send thinking about jay

I really have to focus on my project and stop getting distracted… Not bad and the easiest route on main wall, fun moves but not the nicest finish. Best to back jump at the anchor isn't long for this world.

Something new for 2015. Second shot.

Really fun. Better then madge.

The best house on a bad street. Beautiful climbing and really good moves. My first 26.

Fell off on the onsite after the crux cause I relaxed my feet. Sent second shot, felt pretty easy.

Good to send my project for the day. Almost sent it putting the draws on but got pumped out at the end of the traverse. Sent pretty easy on my second shot, campus the lip for extra speed and style points.
