Ascents as sport by topher

stupidly soloed in dodgy thongs to go through the cave

P1 only. Alternative access to Opthalmia P2.

pure shit after first couple of moves

a bit soft i reckon

really packs it in. good value

just one of those ones that piss you off...

from missing snow anchor. needed a couple of goes to get it clean

Some slopey holds mixed in with nasty crimps...Felt quite similar to Hillwood.

could be continued up to the left maybe??

The rope was up...

Fun corner with a slightly tricky move

well, dave pretty much got benighted leading it, so I can't say too much for what the climb looked like as I couldn't even see my own feet, but the bioluminescents in the water on the way back made it pretty cool

In fading light, but still way above my pay grade in prefect light. Got to 2nd last bolt clean, then hard! Need much stronger fingers.

should get next time. missed a crimp in front of my face and just ended up wondering where the hell to go...

Figured out the crux move, difficult and painful on the fingers but very doable. Couldn't do the second bulge with dripping, slimy holds. Good rest between bulges, so should be able to get quickly once it's dry.

got the dyno second go, then 2 falls after that. Hard!

Really fun moves, just too buggered to get it together

Definately the hardest climb I've tried so far

Took ages to figure out the crux, and still felt really hard. Would definitely not like to be shorter! Mid section pretty rubbish rock, but top was really cool (reach important again).

1 fall first go, then it went downhill. a definite for next time

Jumped on it since Poemade Roca was busy. One shot, good fun moves.

Fun long boulder problem in lower half, with face climbing above.

3 tries, the last one getting past the thin face section, going for the last jug. Buggered up my feet...

If it was even just twice as long, it'd be 'mega classic'. Figured out the crux moves for Alex to send, but ran out of time for me to have another go. Next time I hope...

should have been able to get first go, but was totally buggered after orestes

Feel solid after first move until the 5th bolt, then my strength evaporates. 1 fall

Forgot my shoes, so was attempting to climb in Deano's clown shoes. Warmed up on upper parts, got it from the lower ledge without a problem, but bottom section way too pumpy with shitty feet and shoes I couldn't trust.

Two falls around final roof. Get right hand in jug below roof, then big move to face hold on left above roof. Bring right into jam in roof, then left to sharp fingerlock and move feet up.

Found the mid-height crux hard, but apparently I missed a pocket...Almost let go just before the anchors. Just the one go. Couple of falls midway, and one sit higher up.

Really burly crux, followed by a tricky mantle that I misread...Really happy I got through the crux without falling while trying to belay myself! Should go pretty easily on lead.

Three shots, probably all too close together. Cool move past the first bolt, and then took a while to figure out the crux section with the tick marks and chalk everywhere. Figured out the feet on the second shot, then just got too pumped for the crux on the third shot. Loving this crag, is a great workout.

Awesome! The only thing detracting from it is the ledge just after the first crux. Took about 10 tries to get the first crux near the 5th bolt, then another cruxy move near the last bolt.

Fell off on last bolt. Wasted too much energy trying to go straight up instead of left to the jug a bit lower.

One slip and one sit. Would definitely feel soft with a bit of endurance. Almost all jugs, with a couple of great rests on the way.

Awesome little line. A real pity it got bolted, but I admit to using the bolts... Pumped out just after clipping the last bolt - 1 move before the jug...Next time!

Only the one go. Very polished, but very fun

Wearing shoes 3 sizes too big

Really damn pumpy and powerful! Best to stick clip 2nd bolt and not mess up the start. Probably need two more days to get this one.

not a giveaway

Pumpy! Somehow got the first crux, but buggered up the second. Took me four tries to get the first crux on the second go! Definitely have to be more gym-fit...

Next time...Climbed it completely different from Alex! Arete for him, face and layback to the left for me.

Lost foot while clipping above roof. Pumpy for 3m above roof, otherwise pretty easy.

Just the one shot at the end of the day. Really fun with distinct sections of climbing. The crimpy finish is a bit of a killer though.

Screwed it up at the lip. Best to use the face on the right to turn the lip, and then have a good sit-down out right. Great little climb.

Got too pumped near the top and went the wrong way. Hard to do when there's so much chalk on the thing!

One fall on the last move. That's what I get for reaching too high too early...Probably a bit soft for 12a?

One shot only. Extremely polished. Fell at the end of the traverse...oops...
