Ascents in Oceania as Retreat by Nat

Team climb? Lead the finger crack up till the face climbing section and came down to let Laurie lead the rest of the climb from there. Slippery crimp + pull move to get through the face section 🫣. Lack mental capacity for these things.

Failed repeat. And I forgot how bad I was at sport leading

The first pocket yanked my finger tendons 😒 still very sore 10 hrs later

That last move. No. Just no.

This is the hardest 15 I've ever tried. We did the alternate finish

Can confirm this is definitely not 23 (25 per Hugh Ward’s description). Especially the overhanging tight finger crack boulder start with no feet (nuts and a 0.1). Bailed from the roof as it was taking too long

2020 middle of yr - climbed the trad (first) half, then bailed at the start of the sport (second) half. The crux is probably somewhere on that flat slab

Did this twice, thanks to whoever left a bail biner at the first bolt both times I was at piddington.
