Ascents in Victoria by Ashlee Hendy

So cooked, need to come back and finish this off. Great conditions, just couldn’t stick the right hand snatch

Super close, just flailing (repeatedly) on the top out

Wowee, wouldn’t do this without the rope.

Repeat, but probably did this when I was about 15 years old and 45kg so maybe it counts as an onsight

One of my better flash attempts at the mount, and a great fight from the word go

crux felt like a 25 but ok

Wow, another mega dream route ticked off the list. Thanks to the whole team today for helping make this possible

Why dyno when you can finger lock

A good one to boost the stats. Quite sustained, with lots of fun powerful moves. I’m surprised this route isn’t more popular

After a clunky warm up, I managed to one hang it. Strung the full crux together and took it to the top, just need to add the start now! Psyche is high

Must be about my third day on this and time to start documenting attempts. Rapid progress across three widely spaced days. Initially the crux moves felt kind of impossible and way harder than 29. I’ve since managed to do the moves (last session) and today made awesome links through crux, nearly stringing it all together. Need to get on it a bit more regularly and start having proper attempts from the ground

This climb was hard. I can’t fathom how Kim gave this 27 and Masada 29. I’d switch them, but what would I know?

Requires fancy feet if you are short

Pleased to do this on replaced gear without any fuss. Did a lap practicing the placements too, it won’t feel done until I redpoint

Easy to suss out on TR. Sent first lead attempt, back in business

Onsighted this a few years ago, must have been before I used this website . Long enough ago that I forgot everything so got to onsight it again today 😂

Repeat from way back, but still tricky!

Woohoo!

Did each move individually, just need to link it up and maybe have an extra pad for the top. Right heel-toe cam beta made it way more possible than it initially seems

Got lucky with some great conditions today. A good fight right till the end. Woke up Ella with my power screams 🤣 whoops

Repeat, still awesome and not a gimme at 22

Pretty poor rock quality for Araps. But fun to do something new

Linking pitches 2-3 doesn’t work well. Recommend linking 1-2 if trying to save some time

Have actually seconded this before but recall nothing useful so will claim the lazy onsight

Did this just happen? Apparently yes. A nice surprise after expecting a much longer siege on this route. Beta credit goes to Esther. Belay credit to Rob, who also insisted that I clearly state that my first cam was preclipped just in case the ethics police want to nullify my ascent.

Can’t believe I just did this. So psyched!

Perhaps one of my proudest ascents at the mount. Now to rehearse it into submission for a redpoint attempt.

Managed a clean TR ascent as I fumble my way through the process of refining beta and deciding between pink point or red point.

Absolutely stoked to put this one down after a very interrupted siege. My core is officially back in business.

Great to do this on the sharp and and without Ella inside me. Can definitely red point next time, totems make the top pretty reasonable
