Ascents in Australia by Vanessa Wills having sport-cpr or ascent-date

Alzheimers os, to the anchors of Mr C. Easier than 24 but maybe better for the short

Contrived.

Super breezy, frozen hands more than pump

Nice moves, probably 22 as per the guide when compared to a few of the other 23s here

The down grade is personal due to the fact it seems most people and myself stay right of the bolts for most of the climb. It feels pretty contrived otherwise. The old bolts need replacing.

Even moving left straight from corner this thing seems soft for grade. Interesting moves for short climb.

Interesting to see if taller people find alternative beta. Getting onto arete is tricky. The undercling I originally could use didn’t last very long so the pinch is hard for me.

Rpt, 2 clean laps

I didn’t think it was hard except the reachy bit straight off the ledge if you can’t reach the top of the flake. Both halves have nice moves. A bit too much mizzle coming in to do more today, but nice spot .

2 laps, the effect of being sick for the past 2 weeks showed by the second lap

Start pretty thin but ok. Top easy.

Third go, had to figure the crux reach. Crack gloves both hands helped and taped right index finger for brutal finger lock

Two laps to set up a rope swing and take it down.

End of day lap placing draws.

Better today with the cooler temps and the wall in shade.

I found this easier than BIALB, kneebar and foot cams and a sit down rest everywhere

Hopefully the predicted rain will settle the dust. Really great and varied moves and steeper than it looks. One go on TR to brush the holds then sent with a bit of power grunting and wobbling before we had to leave.

The start seemed extremely grimy with dirt caked in many holds. The climbing a bit contrived to make it a true 23, but some nice bits in there.

Easier than a bischoff flinders 23! Had a go last year, clearly done more crimping this year and got it 3rd go today once I sorted a sequence.

Ate away my finger skin going direct on the crux. Mc Dougalled a bit in the end as I could hold the sloper and get feet up well with a half pad undercling but couldn’t reach the good hold

Paddling makes you strong

Some nice moves once in the stemming groove. The 9 th or 10th bolt’s nut was quite loose. I finger tightened it, worth bringing a spanner

Intricate crux at about third height for me that was quite enjoyable. A bit stop/ start from half height

Interesting lower section

Rpt, haven’t been on this for a decade at least. Nice to walk up it today, maybe I’m so old yet…

Rpt, two goes, clean second shot

It’s ok, though I was berating the equipper for the ground fall run out to the last bolt, but realised I had missed the second last bolt on the way down. Sorry.

Including a diversion into madder after we clipped the wrong starting bolt. Nice powerful moves but the chalked up holds don’t leave much doubt as to where to go.

Should have led it, I read it well except for a hidden footer below a draw. Much easier for me than some of the height dependent routes eg in flagrante.

Cleaned out the glue so now all the bolt plates fit, did the mantle at the top, decided there must be an easier way to do the crux but not much luck.

Three interesting sections with some good moves that can be finessed by technical trickery.

Go the kneebar

Decided it felt easy on the first burn but the skin didn’t like it, then got super pumped on the send go after taping up.Thankful for the plonka rest.

Managed the missing move, now have a to string it together

I really like the moves. It took about 4 shots, and reconfiguring starting beta after I pulled off the best hold. Now even crimpier. It is Watagans rock however.

Did all moves but one. Interesting moves, unfortunately crap rock. Something to aim for this lockdown

Got more engaged the higher I went.

Pretty Sustained, beautiful climbing, glad of a few good rest stances to de pump

FFA. First go today. Lockdown good for focusing on average local projects. Actually the climb is pretty nice with an interesting crux solution. Having the anchor draws preplaced ( via Marmite) is a good idea.

Great top, unfortunately the mank to get to it detracted a little. Second go. Should have flashed it

Was pleased to get through the lower cruxes and then found a difficult to reach upper crux. I couldn’t keep feet on ledge to get to crux hold,and did some improbable campusing to prevent falling off. I think the upper crux is definitely harder than 23 for vertically challenged. Great fight.

Abseiled in the second day to put the draws back on with a long anchor one. Varied climbing in outstanding location. A convenient route for the grandkids to cheer on from the beach

My taste has clearly changed. Did this 20 yrs ago and thought it average. It was the best route we did today.

Did everything but the short person crux. Was in good form when I last did this,

Super fun, I pretend I don't like this steep stuff

Pitch 1 only, though it felt 23 enough. Wimped out before 3rd bolt first go, but getting to pinned flake was also very techy to get the reach. second bolt below feet trying to get tips on break. I also climbed more to the left of the bolts a lot of the time so I could move between breaks. But best climb of the day.

Had placed draws on way down from KCS but hadn’t inspected moves. Some good crimping

Beautiful climbing miles above the ocean, no boring bits. Missed the flash by a whisker.

Used the preplaced gear, though the red cam in the hand jam is probably better placed after getting to ledge. Most gear straight forward but the two crux bits feel fiddly.

Nice moves between horizontals

Nice to get this off the list, coming back a second day with the beta fresh was worth it. Having the crux wire placed was good for the mind, the rest of the gear is quite straightforward.

Quite a nice climb
