Ascents as sport by Nick Cormack

Second Ascent. Nice line by Jules and Paul. Short and powerful.

Better than sunshine I reckon. Was a nice surprise to do this today. Feeling ready for Spain.

Lots of shots but first shot today - isnt that what counts. I dont really like the comunal start but the moves on the onions bit are great. Will shoot for the extension via the veterans start me thinks.

Loved the slab move and the initial moves out the roof. Was pumped stupid on the traverse and had to skip the last two clips. How good is rockclimbing!

so excited. walked out in the rain and top was dry. 1st shot of the day and first time on it in about 2 years and first day on rope in about 3 months. ohh yeah and at 2 months it was Lilly's first trip to the mountains.

1st go of season. My nemisis in 4 seas. I had not progressed at all on this. Tied in today to gauge my fitness and sent it. Was like a dream

2nd shot. crimpy and sort of fun but not great

lucky 2nd shot. Fun but nowhere near as good as the 27's on the main wall. fell my way up it.

Pretty nice climbing.

Close ish on my 3rd shot and then rain. unsure if i could have done it but dang this route is GOOD.

2nd shot, Powerful bottom then delicate (facey) middle then pumpy. Sooo Gooood.

Climbs okay but loosish blocks.

Fantastic pumper up tufa's, rest to a crimpy headwall. Surprised to knock this out in 2 days.

Rare that I toperope but Will thought the runouts were a bit dodgey, I agreed. Glad I didnt lead it.

Tufa climbing, unreal wish it was longer.

My intro to tufa climbing went alright. So good.

Same as blocage. absolute classic sustained climbing but I am unsure how i could link this thing.

This wall snapped me. Fantastic climbing but just so sustained. Loved this route but miles from ticking it.

felt bad screaming and carrying on my 7a while the pro's floated up 8c's next to me.

Nails just like anything vertical at ceuse but hey its the style ceuse does the best

same as ananda, hard and pumpy and polished

quite hard and pumpy

ugly onsight by the skin of my teeth. A little polished by still fun on big pockets

prob soft but so stoked to flash it. Great climbing

Quite a number of shots over the years. Unreal climbing and happy to tick with a dodgey knee. Last day out before Ceuse.

Unreal climbing and good fight. 4th shot of the day and had had a couple of goes over the years. First crimp was sopping wet.

Many shots. Unsure of grade as its a great power enduro route. Classic and techy chugging

Bit slimey but chalks up okay. Harder than it looks. Couldn't get past the second bolt on the first shot. Needed Jens beta to work it out. Lean in and use your chin.

Fun enough slab.

crimpy slabbing. fun but its not the star factory.

After 2.5 hours of walking thanks to getting lost finally arrived at the star factory. Warmed up on this and was blown away at how good this wall is.

Great face climbing on upsidedown holds, Quite techy and powerful.

Fantastic climbing. Was very happy with the o/s.

1st climb at Hillwood. No chalk in sight and all the holds fell on their sides. Very engaging climbing.

2nd shot. Just missed o/s. Pumpy and big moves on big holds. Tonnes of fun.

Multi season seige. Took a long time to knock this one off and been close so many times this season. Ticked in prob the worst conditions I had been on it which was sort of satisfying.

Repeat. Did Brown Badge, Maintain, Scum and Dickman in the same day. All repeats and all fantastic.

Few goes at the bottom then second shot to the top. Really good.

Great climbing.

First go. Another great Boronia climb.

bit o glue on this but still fun slab and good footwork practice.

Stoked. Real onsight no info little chalk on route but above all a great line. Get on it!!!!! Thanks for the rebolt Coggy

I found this hard. Maybe cause I cant use my feet. Great challenge none the less.

Pretty cool really.

PUMPY!!!

Nice climbing, not so great warm up.

Pretty nice. Couldn't do the last move today without clipping the anchors first. (scaredy cat)
