Ascents in Australia as sport by Michael Velsigne

Would've thought this was a touch harder, but didn't deviate left and right for jugs just went direct to each bolt. Fun climb.

Absolutely thin as heck. Could be a touch harder. Went through the crux and it goes into an even more cooked balancey move. In full sun the crimps were too sweaty.

The start is brutal if you're not tall. Thankfully I am 😂

Absolutely committing for that traverse - not the best warm up.

Nice route, interesting finish. Definitely could see some great whips off this one.

Possibly soft for the grade, guess that depends on your footwork.

There is a hold on this, that is rather integral, that is loose. And to top it, there is no anchor for this climb, had to improvise an anchor up top to second my belayer to clean the gear then rap off the only DRB on the top of the block that is in the weirdest spot making it nearly unusable. Serious rebolting is needed for the climbs here to be safer.

0/10 would not recommend.

Kind of feel like this is approaching a 20. Very awesome movement, with no real rest. Feels a touch easier than MFDS, but harder than 19 to be sure. And the potential whip off the end makes for quite a committing move after building the pump.

Surprisingly hard start. Then I was blinded by the sunshine I couldn't see where to go at all. Probably one to get on early before the sun is ridiculously in your eyes.

warm up to test the finger... it's a no go.

Weird. Probably not worth ever doing again.

Absolutely strange climb, funky to onsight for sure. But got it done with a little jamming, stemming, spanning... Definitely one to jump on.

Second run up the wall for Kati as well.

Multi-pitch teaching day, anchors, rappel, knots. All the adventure.

Hilariously sandbagged for a 4? But what would you even grade this? XD it's spooky for the grade for sure.

Sheesh, the finger might not handle crimps but roof climbing is a go 👌🏾 nice little route, like a hard boulder problem onto glory jugs to the easy anchor.

Finger is still not healed enough for all the moves to go sadly. Thin crimps hurt

Huge flash send train with the crew, 5 flashes back to back, let's gooooo.

This is CRAZY for a 17. It's not physically demanding but the technique required will send any climber at this grade for more than a few whips.

Won't lie, I dynoed to finish this one. The finishing move was too hard for my injured finger to try so I dynoed past it.

Great warm up, easy climbing with some flexible high stepping in a cruxy finish. Worth it.

Is this route chipped? 🤔🤔

Probably a bit hard for the grade considering I was the only one to onsight it despite everyone else sending multiple 20's on the day.

If this is a 22 I will eat my own climbing shoes. The deadpoint crux is wildly hard for the grade, even if the rest of the route is easy.
