Ascents in New Zealand as Working

another futuristic project. found some spicey beta for the crux. will explore some more.

made some good links but send still feels a little far. mega route much psych

Made a couple of moves but well above my pay grade. Could be a decent project.

Amazing climb. Should have tried this a long time ago. Next session.

Got the first half of the climb but the throw to the jug feels very hard!

One attempt today, but better than last time. Holds were quite dry compared to the rest of the routes in the cave

Gonna take some work but suits me.

Got a bit of progress but still far from the send. The wettest day in Waitomo!

two good tries today, the deep start was very wet today, couldn't pull

worked on the crux move couple of times. I'm getting there

5 Attempts before the fingers gave up haha

Accidentally broke the finishing jug so now it's a lot worse of a hold making the last move a lot harder, could be a hard 9 or even a 10 now??

Two attempts, started the hard bit. The first half is fun wrestling with lots of jamming and kneebars at grade 24ish

end of the day went to check the moves, few hard moves in the middle after watching the beta vid seems no harder than Gastonberry. excited to get back on this one

Opened the account, worked out all my moves up to the headwall then bailed when the nut was almost off my bolt and the next one was missing entirely 😯

I had two successful go on this long route and both times passed the Power Puku and stuck at the crux of Frank's Better Half. I needed more power endurance to finish the climb

Felt super tired!

I had four good attempts on this, with no flaw in the execution of moves this time but I think I lack power endurance. Hopefully, it will go next session. Good training day!

Could use a beta spray down.

LastGo of the day. Pretty cooked for this climb!

I had another go on this, but not fresh! I fell on the very last move! Damn!

I had 3 goes on this today, but I was a bit tired after sending Minecraft. Will be back for it.

Got it all figured out minus one move, the high left heel. Will return in cooler conditions.

didnt quite have enough skin to give this a decent go. felt epic though!

very cool climb! supa powerful. lost a lot of skin & cant wait to try it again

Opening the account on this stonker of a route. Amazing movement! Made all the moves to the penultimate bolt, just below the waterfall. Definitely need to refine some beta, but mostly need to be able to hang on!

Pulled a few moves but feels a long way off. Basically a V8ish boulder problem.

1st session working on this, holy shit what an experience. Surprised myself managing to pull off all the moves. The amount of heel-toe camming, knee barring, toe hooking is outrageous! Shout out to Alex Honnold for onsighting this, never talking shit about him again.

The first attempt on the proj... couldn't make it to the second draw...

Tried again with someone who knew the beta belaying. Did all individual moves clean apart from first to second draw but didn't clip all bolts.

Clearly need much more bouldering strength if I’m going to pull this one off.

Made a few more moves but still feels heinous.
