Ascents in Mount Alexandra by Marek

Fun bouldery kind of start!

Another reasonably good climb!

I was surprised by this climb! It actually isn't as bad as it looks.

Thin but very enjoyable.

Alzheimer's onsight. Quite thin and a lot of moss.

Great climb with a nice reach at the crux.

Repeat. Showing a mate how to do the crux.

Sent it on my second shot today. Nice combination of slab and steep climbing.

I have it next time. Don't use lower jug from 23!

Had it in the bag until I chipped a hold off which I was using as an undercling at the crux move. Damn!

Quite a hard cross through at the crux! 2nd shot today.

Worked out a good sequence. Now for the send...

Thanks Dave for the beta!! Now it's looking more possible 😎

I tried the first few moves but couldn't get onto the slab. Micro crimps.

Punchy start!

Nice climbing. A bit of reach needed in places.

Good fun. Nice rock.

Good warm-up.

Tried the direct start. Where are the holds? I don't see any!

Sometime late 2012.

Sometime late 2012.

Solid rock. One desperate move on this climb requires some high stepping to reach a nice hold.

Repeat. Warm-up.

Sometime in 2011.

What an effort this was in spoodgy conditions. Found most of the good holds along the climb but unsuccessful in linking some of the moves. Definitely a tough climb.

Pretty hard and I was climbing it in full sun. It should go next shot in the shade.

Did it as a warm-up. Felt really easy this time.

Great climb. The crux had me baffled for a while but figured a very nice way int the end. Love the way there is hardly any chalk on this route.

Warm-up. A few cob webs on the crux move!

Repeat

Onsight solo. A couple of months ago. Nice corner!

Hard arete. A lot of balance required. Fries the mind alright!

Pity it isn't twice the height. Some nice slab moves.

Right after Three Wise Monkeys. Pretty gone and couldn't be bothered finishing it. Worked a nice sequence to the second bolt. Very tech crimping and awkward being in a corner.

Thin and balancy all the way. Short but very nice.

Like the lay back moves at the start.

Nice little layback!

Onsight solo. Tricky start!

Onsight solo. Not a bad variation in the start!

Onsight solo. Some nice jug hauling!

Repeat.

Onsight solo. It's basically a steep hike!

Interesting climb, but found the last metre before the lower off to be hard. Have it sorted for next shot, however a bit unsure of that last move...

2 shots and making progress on this. Went from a ghost previously to two dogs today. Sun was blasting on me and making it very slimy!

Broke off a hold just below the anchors. Next time...

I finally managed to clean up this old dog.

Slipped of a crimp at the crux.

I did it as a warm-up first go today. I couldn't feel my fingers at the crux. The rock was a bit cold!

Worked out the moves.

So close today.

A rad climb with so many different features and moves.

3rd shot today. Rad climb with a couple of really interesting moves!

Sweet route!

Fun steep climbing. Some cool powerful moves.

Felt easy today after all that steep climbing at Campbelltown.

Fun traverse. Pretty soft for a 23. I'd say more like an easy 22 or hard 21. I like the pockets.
