Ascents in Frog Buttress as Hang dog

Got the crux. Twice

One seat. Fantastic line.

the offwidth is freeken tricky!

Chimney is tight and tricky! First and middle section - great!

Fuarrrk what an absolute ripper. Best 23 at frog I reckon, and every bit of the grade at that. Pure thin and off fingers. Missed a key footer that spat me off but keen for round two!

Mum please don't make me do that again. Fell trying to step over to the ledge, sat once more because I pumped out. Need to go higher before stepping over next time. Top section is a sweet relief from the start.

Great committed lead by Dan. Blasted the crux like a mini moonboard problem leading to a pretty decent runout. A great time on second despite a bit of surgery on a few stuck cams.

Bit scarier on lead with the gear down low. Trick is to stay in tantrum instead of busting out to the arete as early as possible. Kind of a shame because the low arete moves are great and there is a chopped bolt there.

Was pretty stoked to work out beta for the start that works for a shorter reach end up getting a left foot jam n reaching out for the side pull quite a hard sequence if your shorter or dont have flexible hips for the drop in right knee bar

The rest was easier but total pump fest trying to find the footers n hidden crimps on your first time up there

So snazzy

Wowee what a route!! God damn desperate the whole way but such nice movement. Felt somewhat bad for disrupting the serenity on such a beautiful day with my involuntary, animalistic screaming.

Took two sits, one was completely unnecessary. Super happy with the burn, feels so good to dig way deeper than you think you’re capable of.

Rapped down and plugged gear for the pink point…

Tough bouldery crux

Runout in second half, bold but not insane. Top section so covered in lichen it was snowing under me. Some cool moves. Crux was hard, especially in the heat today. Had fun nevertheless.

Putting the pieces together, literally. Spent most of the day sorting the gear while cooking in the sun. Went for a sunset lap trying to place gear but messed up the beta and fell halfway through. It goes, but it'll take a few more sessions to polish the beta and gear placements

One sit. Not wigging out about gear made it easier. The skatey cam horror stories woulda put me on edge.

Hard. Fell down low and my cams didn't skate though so that's a plus

Absolute banger. Up there with time for tea with movement quality.

Psyched to get back on this and bump my high point up to the crux. Unfortunately I forgot my beta and peeled off. First whip of the season

Hopefully back this Wednesday for redemption

Slipped a couple of times down low - awkward!

The pin scars were full of dirt so we stepped in from Devil's at half-way so not the true line. Pulled on some gear proper to get through top crux but some amazing moves up there. Cleaning up the scars on rap for future ascentionists and boom! Ants! No one needs an ant crux.

Tantalisingly close, three attempts on the lower half before finishing up top. Eliminated a gear stance below crux.

Sat for a cam

So hard, oh my

Hardest 18 of my life

If I lead this in my lifetime I'll be happy

Couple of sits

More hard, oh my

Hard, oh my

Beautiful hand crack! Crux still nails.
