Ascents in Willow Jungle

Burly warm up

Deserves the rep, super interesting movements getting you at all angles. Makes you use your noggin.

Got to the top by pulling through a couple of moves. Still figuring out the middle one! Suuuppper techy and balancy, especially at the top!

Really good. Worth coming back for.

Screwed myself by stopping to place gear mid crux. Cool little route.

Hard. Fell off at the second bolt, and the third. Running out of daylight so I used a devious brass nut to aid through to last bolt.

Pretty cool, felt quite unlikely first go. Pieced it together, still tricky.

felt very campusey

blew it reaching for the final hold

Roped solo. Had myself plenty of rests. Leg snapping stuff. Well bolted. Beautiful location down on the river.

This route is awesome! Hard start past roof into thin bridging corner. Take some small cams or nuts for the middle bit

Another techy + pumpy corner classic. So good!

Can link clean to the 4th bolt then I’m maxing out like a spread eagle. Awesome climb!

Cool route. Don’t forget a couple of small/mid cams and some extendable draws

Was feeling good, then a bit yucky in the tendons - so bailed for the day. Sweet climb

Tight and awkward, with potential for wet feet. Not really in keeping with the standard of the rest of the cliff.

Stunning feature, brilliant climbing - with a mincer crux smack in the middle.

Woahhh! Full cut loose novelty roof. Fun double arete too! Nice.

Still baffled by the 4th bolt crux, but slowly breaking it down.

Has to be one of the best routes in the gorge for its length. The perfect mix of patience and power. x3 laps

Repeat.

Figured out some nice balance beta for pre-roof move. Tendons a bit broken today. Isaac cruised the onsight. Nice!

Placing all hangers and draws. Great moves through the roof

x2 lead attempts today. Was still seeping a little which probably didn’t help the effort

Woooo!! Changed up beta significantly, which helped take the desperate out of the crux. Nice to finally put this mint line to bed. Stoked

Tried a lot of things..hate to say it but heck this thing is crazy hard if you’re short. Hip mobility will be the win

Better than expected after a little while off local rock..

Maybe worked out a sequence for top bolt..still struggling at 4th

Blew the onsight at the 4th bolt, felt like I was moving well and reading the route, traverse across right is pretty cool, absolutely made a meal of the moves afterwards, burnt so much energy faffing trying to clip the 4th bolt then draw in extremist... punted and then instantly saw a mega foot jug that opened up the beta, after my forearms deflated and I could lift my arms above my shoulders it flowed from there to the top

2nd shot, pumpy little route that packs way more moves into a short line than expected! Sequence through the start into the crack has real flow and then traversing out right was blissful.

Good smears with not so good side pulls for the first 2 bolts felt a little goey, was searching blindly for a hold at the 3rd bolt to gain the pedestal until I found the sinker finger crack. Straight forward to the top from there.

Watching Nicko get the send had me fired up to give this a flash attempt, stemming down low is outrageously good making use of drop knees and hand foot matches on palms really stretched out those hips, got a little boxed in trying to follow Nick's beta and fell at the third bolt, took some time to work out my own sequence and went to the tip after a few more falls.

Went for the Red Point and felt pretty solid had a foot slip gaining the arete for the 4th bolt and dropped it, pulled back on and topped out with 1 sit, will go for sure next burn outrageously good climbing in a great location!
