Ascents in Wānaka having Beta

Cheated at the crux, have no energy leave to work out the move.

Awesome route, deserves the stars. Felt easier than the 16s to me, but Mary found it trickier so 🤷‍♂️

Had to fight for this one

Awesome crack with some tricky layback moves and good gear

Felt tricky!

Nice and very easy

Playing around getting the tricky moves at the bottom

Cool but very hollow flake

Tricky crux! Mary got very kerfuffled

Great fun, loved the underlings and laybacking at the top

A tricky warm up

Brutal sustained tiny crimps! Felt hard for the grade to me. Great route, climbed in one mega pitch

Awesome, long and sustained

Great. Should've lead it!

Super fun and a nice change from all the crimping

Was very tired on this one, but Andrew was watching so I didn't take

Getting quite tired.

Third go. Made the mistake of going again too soon and also trying to change up the beta to set up for the gaston. Comedy of errors. If I come back this should go after putting the gear up. One hang again.

Second go. Apparently it is possible to flub the move to the glued flake if you try to control it too much..

Flash attempt. Had good beta. But didn't hit the big gaston move and hung on the 4th bolt. Went to the top for a one hang.

Really nice route. Happy with the onsight.

Warm up.

Got it second try

Really happy with this. Had top roped it a while back so sussed the gear on lower and then sent first shot. Stoked!

Have to come back for this - was distracted by the thought of climbing Hotline.. nice route though!

Classic climb

Nah, fluffed the moves again. Needs a brush.Not as nice as the other routes.

Top roped this once a while back. Got it first shot today. Amazing route! Wish it was longer.

Absolutely skunked it on last easy moves on the onsight. Breezed it second shot.

Fantastic climbing. 2 ⭐ for sure, maybe even three.

Third go of the day. Matched high point (why can't I do that move from the ground?!), hung at 4th. Then did both cruxes and all the way to anchor clean! Low point and one hang! Massive progress. Just need a good go and this thing is going down next session

Second go of the day. Matched high point, hung at 4th, did first crux, hung at 5th after falling in second crux. Then climbed through second crux to the anchor. Low point and two hang.

First go of the day. Matched high point, three hangs to the top.

Matched high point for the third time. But greasing off things a bit now that skin is thinner. Good day.

Matched high point again. Learned better beta for second crux that avoids using right hand crimper above the jugs. Climbed to the top clipping all draws in a few hangs but then grabbed the anchor chain so not a hang dog by my rules

High point. Clipped 4th bolt and then did the start of the main crux, but couldn't get the right pinch. Proceeded to the top in a few hangs, clipping all the draws and anchor properly.

A bit insecure, lots of good feet but the hands aren't great

Love this climb!

Guidebook said this was a 20, but I think 21 is probably fair.

Tried only once, got on to the face on the first try, but not sure if I went to far left onto 'bogans'. I think it can be done directly as well.

Did it as the last climb of the session, it went fairly easy, but this might be a bit of a morpho climb

Felt hard for a 19, especially the start, but I might have missed some holds
