Ascents as sport by Troy McAndrew

Great day out checking out this newish crag. This line is beautiful and has the sickest moves. Jumped on it thinking it was 27 but was later told it was upgraded. Very excited to come back and check out some other new lines.

Got some super helpful beta from Matt at the crux and pulled through it today. Did all the moves with only a few hangs. This may be my first 28, love the style. Psyched!

Almost pulled the crux a few times just couldn't manage to swap my feet on the clipping jug today.

Been a while since jumping on. Felt alot warmer today then last session so the little crimps were not as sticky.

Had a burn just to dial some beta. Was probably the smoothest attempt of the day just didn't have the endurance. Keen to come back again soon. It's all about the process.

Went down first go. Great conditions and a fresh body definitely helped.

Good little route once you figure out how to hold all the weird conglomerate holds. Had a poo stain getting to that third clip...

Would of been a smooth flash as I had seen a few people on it a few weeks ago but I accidentally went to the Wet Chestnut anchor instead of the correct ones. Had another lap to get the tick.

Josh went up and couldn't find a path up the wall. Then I tried it and pulled off a massive football sized rock off on the way up. I think maybe a hold has broken on the headwall, or maybe we are just shit climbers.

Probably some of the best quality rock on the wall.

Was a pretty intense lead do to the massive wasp nest hanging on the perma. Just had to throw a draw on it and hope for the best. Thankfully didn't get bitten.

Josh pissed it. I had to bare down on this one, crimpy!

Josh went up and decided the sun was going to cook his pale af skin, thus giving me perfect beta for my flash attempt on this absolute mega rig.

Setting up some tops for kelly.

Such a good climb with great moves.

All the routes on this section were kinda choss but this one had some good moves.

I hung the draws on the way down so I can't really claim the Onsight on this one.

Super pumpy cool link up on bad holds. Keen to come back for this one.

A fun one to finish the day off. Pumpy!

Pumper for the first climb of the day.

Cool moves on pockets

One hang should go next session hopefully.

Harder than the direct in my opinion. On the very high end of 24.

Felt much harder than the direct line.

Sickest moves on pockets so good!

This one went down surprisingly fast. Probably some of the coolest moves I have done on a climb. A bit softer than the green room in my opinion.

absolutely brilliant climb. Much like the climb next to it this thing has some spicey moves. Thin moves on the head wall with some pulling hard on two finger pockets. Definitely psyched to get this one done.

Yes! Wicked climb with some big moves to good holds. Such a pumper with a few hard moves at the very end.

After doing all the hard dynamic moves I bloody blew it right at the chains. Heartbreaking finish moves. So psyched to come back!

Hang dog up to hang draws and clean/ remembering the moves.

Fell off right at the chains again. Not a give away at the very end of the climb. Should of gone this go...

Great route. Pumpy all the way to the chains.

Felt really good up until that last bolt. A pumper right to the finish. Keen to come back and give it a good crack.
