Ascents in New South Wales and ACT by Joanna Lazniewska having sport-cpr or ascent-date

I got it second go after sorting out the traverse (if only I noticed this low left footer on my flash attempt…) Probably a bit soft for 24 but I’ll give myself this grade as I didn’t use the holds in the corner. 😉

Had two goes on it yesterday and I thought that I would get it after coming back fresh. Instead I came back today completely wrecked and with not much skin on my fingers. Pointless. Maybe one day I will learn to listen to my body.

Chilled climbing.

Pretty good, easy climbing leading to a bit though provoking sequence through crimps (you can stand on the ledge and think about it forever though), then easy again.

Nice and cruisy.

So good and so pumpy.

Really good climbing but pumpy, I was very happy about getting to the knee bar at the last draw.

Finally I pulled the sequence at the top, third go today, third time/trip on it. The pressure was on, knowing I was allowed just one session on Madge this trip 😜

Another two burns, another two failures ar the last draw… and the trip is over. Got to do some chin ups before coming here again and… change cereals.

Really cool rout with some exciting moves over the draw. Had two burns yesterday evening but blew the crux on the red point attempt. We had to go back and I was left with no epidermis on my fingertips and the feeling of defeat. This morning i taped my digits and decided to go for it; I had to fight with accumulated fatigue (5th day on) and 80% humidity. It was worth it.

Quality climbing for the grade.

Back on Madge after a year. I change a beta for the top bit and went left instead of right. Gave it two red point burns but ran out of gas at the last draw again. I wish it didn’t take so much skin of fingertips… they are so bright pink.

Onsight/flash didn’t go as I was slapping blindly in search of reasonable holds at the very bottom.I got it 2nd attempt (flash from the second draw up), having some good beta and a good rest in the break. The top section involved hard pulling and fight with the Pump and fear that I would drop it just before the chains. Really good moves on this one.

You got to trust the guide book when it says that routes at Logan are pumpy. I messed up my onsight at the last draw when the relaxing climbing suddenly turned into desperate search for holds. Went 2nd go.

The first go I looked like you put a figure skater on the rock; I just could not get through the roof and was nowhere close to getting it (roofs are not my favourite you see). Then, I ran through the moves in my head several times, saw my friends ticking it and magically got it second go. Amazing climbing plus some mental game involved. Pleasure to get to the top.

I had a couple of uncertain moments on it but with some beta spraying, unexpectedly, it went the first go. Really good climbing.

Easy climbing to a bit tricky undercling in the cavity. Very nice.

Fantastic route! Very grim conditions for Joanna though - 13 deg, rain, frozen, stiff fingers, not enjoyable. I got it second go, after I managed to warm up a bit.

I came back for it today and got it first go Thanks Paul for being a draw and a hold brushing monkey

I had one go at it and did all the moves before the start, which is the crux I think. I hope I can figure out a beta next time. Pretty big, cool ,throwy moves with not much rest.

Easy and nice climbing to a cruxy bit, which we misread I guess (didn't use the undercling that other people talk about), then easy again.

I absolutely despised the start until Paul found a fantastic beta for it. I came off at the last bolt on the big move on my third attempt. It will have to wait until the next trip.

Had one go at it; I didn't stick the move between 1st and 2nd bolt (still not sure how to do it). Dogged the rest of it without much trouble... I think, it could go... next trip.

Several nice moves, with kind of a big throw before the second bolt. The very top was a bit wet (2nd day of rain).

Cool moves leading to an exciting finish. Almost got it on my second go. Now I'm left with not much skin and a great desire to tick it before leaving BM in two days.

Great sequence up to a hard finish. It took some skin off. I just had one go at it; would be great to come back on it next trip.

It was really steamy and slippery today. Anyway, the moves on this route are great. The fact that I blew it my first go made me find a great beta for a move that I thought was horrible and desperate.

Pretty good.

Pleasant climbing on big holds, although still pumpy.

I blew my onsight, damn. Got it second go, still struggling a bit. It’s fun climbing on on big holds, (beside the finish).

There are some nice moves on this route for sure but yeah it’s not particularly grippy. Good if you want to save skin though 🙂

Cool moves, tricky slab. Got it second go but not without a fight.

Enjoyable climbing.

Hard move on the crimps in the middle of the climb.

Don’t think it would be my first choice for 25 lead in BM.

Crux move surprised me. All of a sudden it got harder than I wanted my warm up to be.

Grade 23 in the guidebook, but maybe it’s 22, maybe…

It was the easiest available route, so I did it as a warm up. Not the best idea, as it has a hard section high up. I had to go up there 3 times as I messed up the beta the second time.

On my tick attempted I gave up as after clipping the second draw I was completely entangled in the rope and could not disentangle. As we were under time pressure (basically on the way the airport) I left the second bolt pre-clipped. I still give myself a tick as this was was not a crucial clip.

Had one top rope go. This is a proper crimp fest. I did all the moves but was left with not much skin on my fingertips.
