Ascents in The Cutting having Beta

Done this a couple of times but its just too good to not do again

Really good

Proper good. Bouldery start followed by a delicate sequence up the face. Awesome engaging climbing

Stonking route, beautiful consistent climbing on interesting holds. Missed the undercling at the first bolt and blew the onsight. Lowered and started again, onsighted the rest of the climb.

End of the day lap - really good climb.

First onsight at the grade. Stoked!

Dry fired on the onsight.

Redemption from years ago.

Repeat warm up

friendly fun route

Another great route

Awesome route

Retro flash, tried it last winter and the bottom and bits in the middle was soaking and slimy. Good to come back and do it first try.

Warm up

Awesome moves, fell on boulder start a couple of times. Would be a good route to go back and get clean - one day when I have time!

Broke a pretty crucial crimp through the crux on the onsight. Still goes!

proper good steep face climbing on crimps. classic for the grade

good warm up on positive holds. little soft for the grade but worthy of at least a star

good technical climbing

Bottom and middle very wet, managed to get it from the second bolt clean

Fun techy route, nice run outs

Amazing flake!

Funky start followed by superb face climbing

Powerful bouldery start followed by delicate face climbing. A must for the grade!

Still no endurance

Hard 21 Slab, after this one I realised Wanaka was built different.

After Michaels 30 minute draw pulling lead of what was supposed to be the crag warmup I figured I'd put the ego in the bin and second it. Has to be the hardest and most sustained 18 climbing I've ever done with a really committing style.

Nice climb, feels a little exposed at top.

Thin slab, have to be quite accurate with the feet. Very nice but a bit run out though! Stick clip is advised

99% sure first onsight at the grade, on a beaut route!

Beautiful route!

Lost the insight by someone yelling beta at me… it helped though, so flash it is!

Nice warm up.

So much chalk caked on this one.

Is easier for the grade but I’ll take it

Can link up

Small hold and technical. Too many holds with chalk

mossy

Fell 2 moves from finishing (or rather one more move, then clipping the anchors - which none of us could do). Happy with that: getting closer and closer to doing a 22 clean

Big holds, a bit overhang.... Just the way I like it

All of us could flash the route to the anchor. None could clip the anchors. Though the last bolt is 40cm below the anchor, assuming that you clip the last bolt, then the climb is done, then clip through anchor. Unless the actual crux is clipping the anchor?

Pumpy jugs

Crimpy boulder through overhang into more sustain face climbing.
