Ascents in Australian Capital Territory by Nick White having boulder-cpr or ascent-date

About a billion sessions on this and could never do the first move. Good conditions today and it felt decent.

Contrived but nice moves

Cool moves - felt about the same difficulty as Diesel Power to me. Tricky start move and then a very difficult mantle.

Very happy to get this - a bunch of sessions on the various bits. Probably not that much harder than Cassius, but I think that's already pretty hard for an 8.

Woooo! What a line. A whole lot of sessions, but worth it in the end.

About time - lots of sessions over lots of years. Should have been braver and committed to the top slap earlier.

Has become a bit contrived now the detached block has gone as you could just sit start with one hand on the left arête (which is Pet Rock direct). Still really cool moves if you do it starting on the original undercling/gaston holds.

How does this get given the same grade as Talos?!

Finally ticked this thing off. Adds some hard moves to Power Up to make it less of a one move wonder. Probably similar in difficulty and quality to Bentspoke but has a crimpy first crux rather than a slopey first crux.

Fell off multiple times after doing the Power Up crux. The "red-point" crux is definitely getting established on the Muy Forte holds. Thanks to Michael Yuen for spotting the line and supplying the psych.

Took ages, but sent on a cool evening as the sun was setting. Did this using Ashby's beta (avoiding Dan Fisher's crazy high heel for the crux moves). Didn't do the ugly/desperate super low start but just started on the standard starting ledge, moved straight to the big sloper and then onwards. Even without the super low start and with new beta, this thing still felt pretty damn hard to me.

Adds some nice moves to Couch Fisher although not much in terms of difficulty. Went pretty easily after spending a few sessions working Couch Fisher.

Nice technical line.

I wasn't strong enough to do it with Stephen's cut and swing beta, so I worked out a different sequence with a tenuous heel hook. Might be on the easier side, and there's a small chance that tall people will be able to ruin it by just reaching through the crux...but a really interesting line.

Might be a bit easier than 9 with my beta? Hard to grade because it's all in the desperate pull-on move. Would like to go back and do the "proper" way using the RH sloper at some point, which will be way harder.

Really nice moves - pity about the chipped holds. Always looked at this and thought it looked impossible, but ended up coming up with a pretty decent sequence.

Nice line if you don't mind the gross chipped holds. Good suggestion by Jonny, who spotted the line.

Cool move and cool finish - but super inconsistent. On the soft side?

Feels pretty hard to me - took me a long time. Very nice moves.

Great night session. Feels powerful and crimpy to me. Might be a different difficulty/quality if you're tall but felt hard and nice to me.

What a line! Trickly slab climbing, big move to the top and a pretty terrifying top out.

Definitely not 10 - probably either 8 or 9. Looks like an early foothold has broken relatively recently, which might explain why it's not 10 any more.

Sit start version.

Still weirds me out how the pretty easy sit start somehow makes the whole thing a lot harder.

Nice technical traverse. Not sure about the grade - could be 7? Probably suits short people but feels significantly harder than Lax Ligaments SS to me.

Really hard to read sequence for me but really cool moves when I worked it out

Did this from the start of Phone Sex back all the way back to Phone Sex start. Kind of silly cos you can just sit on the ledge to rest. At some point, will try and start at the ledge and go all the way back to the ledge.

Great line, very technical and crimpy. Pretty hard for 7 for me.

Needs a name!

What a line!

What a great climb! Really cool way to end Phone Sex.

Really pleased to have knocked this off after falling off the Contempt mantle a bunch of times. Not sure if this is 9 or 10, but certainly significantly harder than Stopping All Stations.

Surprisingly nice moves - 7 seems about right to me.

Really nice line. If you're going to traverse the whole boulder, you might as well start at the sit! Feels noticeably harder than Stopping All Stations to me.

Pretty nice, very beta intensive. Glad to have knocked this off.

Felt pretty hard - gets 8 in Duncan's guide, which seems fair.

Very nice.

Bit of a dodgy dab on the tree at the top. Great line once you know the beta for the start sequence - pretty sustained after that.

Good moves but gross chipping

Moves are decent but gross chipping

Really very nice, with a very tough first move - then gets a lot easier but still has really nice moves.

An eliminate, but a couple of really nice hard moves into the Bogan top-out. Easier and less desperate than Power Up. Nice FA from Michael.

Stand start version.

Really nice moves but a bit awkward to not headbutt the rock behind you. Could be 6 or 7.

Could be 6 or 7. Cool line.

A very nice problem. To me the stand start felt like a decent 6, while the sit start felt like a really good 7.
