Ascents by Ashley Felton

Good climb (for slab).

Eh. Quicker way to get up than walking around the path.

Good way to practice placing gear.

Good climbing. A bit thin up top, but protectable.

Couple of neat moves.

Idle hands can be dangerous.

Second pitch only due to rough seas. Intimating for a first taste of WCH. I was glad to be seconding.

An excellent line, but: sandbagged, much? The first pitch is much harder than the grade suggests. Second pitch is very pleasant, and much easier.

A lovely line of mild trad. Second pitch is the best, but it's all a good time.

A pleasure to get on this again.

That's right: this route is awesome.

Pretty cruisey, but I'm glad that we did it.

Quality route, but too tough for me today.

Excellent! Crimpy as all get-out.

Another nice one. What's with all the highball starts, setters?

Nice, easy for the grade.

Nice, easy warm up.

A spectacular day out. And it will be the whole day. The dicey long traverse was a highlight.

Big, multi pitch fun. Awesome.

Surprisingly easy for the grade, though pumpy. A big, lovely, overhang jug haul.

A good intro to Blue Mountains rock.

I enjoyed this more the time it wasn't pissing down with rain

Short, but great for practising cam placements.

Kinda slabby

The route I've had most fun failing to send clean in ages.

Good warmup.

Took me a couple of tries. Best of the problems here, assuming that you like slab. Bring a crash pad or risk a snapped ankle.

More fun than it looks.

Took too many tries to send.

This route is nails, and that's just the easier part. At least it was shady.

Pure quality.

Stalled out on the unsettling top section. Trust those tiny feet.

OK warm-up.

Getting back to stiffer grades, slowly. This was a great confidence-booster today.

Saved the best line for very last. Superb moves on an amazing line. Well-deserved mega classic.

A lovely route with nice, straightforward protection.

A total novelty, but a pretty good route nonetheless.
