Ascents in World by Vanessa Wills

No way it's 6b, involves a sideways dyno to a pocket.

keep heading up the ramp to find it. Needed a good brush but then really interesting

rather pumpy

rather pumpy

I could do each third I think if they stood alone and I worked them , but it is so outrageously steep. Would love to see someone onsight this.

OS, anchor hard to clip!

Hmmm, my tips were already cooked from trying a project yesterday, I was here to jamb, but Dave showed me the moves are possible....

I can claim a belay tick for Dave who managed the bottom half in fine form before a footer blew on the top bit he’d done before and ruined his shoulder and the official send. I managed to faint in the sun, had to get lowered down, and am missing doing about 3 m of this climb still ( the bit on the arete)

Did it twice, an extremely engaging pitch

First attempt, would probably need a few sessions on it to get clean, learning to milk rests and remember all the moves. The best way I could see to do the crux off a bridge doesn’t work for me, as can’t reach the next holds so need to refine a reliable sequence.

Well that was a surprise. Two goes today, first go finally worked out short persons way to do crux, then dave dislodged the key hold on his attempt. Still hadn’t got through the low bulge clean. Second go I dynoed the low bulge then somehow kept going and found myself through crux without a lot of recollection of the top, but I had identified two good resting stances so gunned for them. Shame it’s going to rain for the rest of our time in Tasmania, didn’t think I had a lead shot in me today.

Hadn’t really looked at guide. Great moves to a literal nails crux but I think I could do it, though I was doing a karate kick to the right after matching on the thin rail. Sticking the thin rail was the only move I didn’t do.

Got to the horn and lip but wasnt going to break an ankle trying the topout with no spotters 2 days before leaving the country

I think this was some type of hybrid diagonally across honeycomb pockets. Got clean to lip at about v3. Fun enough but Lots of crap rock in this area.

Got to the crimp on slab but nervous without a spotter. Nice to there

With Neil. Aided crux 26 move.

P1,3,6,9. With Neil. Aided the grade 26 crux move. Lots of falling rock!

Thought I'd give it a go and got to the 3rd last bolt before falling off. Still a bit of work to do- not hard, just pumpy!

Got 2/3 way up albeit resting. Couldnt disengage foot cam without falling off.

It was dry in the rain

No chance on the 25 pitch carrying backpack and trad rack but did the moves. 350m+ link up- awesome

Pommy made me do two laps on it. Major dogfest and more enduro needed

2 shots and I was done for the day.Work needed on this one

Trying JPs beta is not going to work.....

One of the best sandbags ever- told it was a 23. thought it was nails.

Big timedog and still have to pull on rope at start, and Dan says "23". LOL

Another nice route

Slipped getting to second bolt, then kept falling off the start a few times. With most of draws on by dave got back on and sent. Holiday grades, but makes up for some of the super hard 6bs we've done.

One burn placing draws, then took them off. Hope I can get back to it and get someone else to put the draws on.

Beautiful moves after a tricky start. Top pitch only, down as 24 which it may feel on lead

If I could stem it would be classic. Clean through to final 5m of stemming. Awesome work by Dave.

Didn't quite sit on every bolt. Had forgotten how painful it is.

Failed on second part of crux. I think I respect finger skin too much to try again.

First time back on this for ages, climbed mostly bolt to bolt placing draws. Power endurance needs some work I think, but I do not enjoy the scary slab with bolts in weird places, and 5th bolt Biner cross loaded, better with sling through ring. The top is great, but will have to try and get someone else to place draws:)

Got to last bolt, with a bit of dogging, though found middle tricky. Scored a bloody flapper going for the next good hold and came down due to ongoing dripping. Felt tired on next shot, and after a half hearted attempt when I hit it again, I just threaded last bolt. Looks stupidly run out to anchors with nasty fall potential across roof.

some interesting thin and balancy moves on this, and should feel better on a day that isn't damp. didn't feel substantially harder than Quasimodo. Nice to get on something I haven't been on before......

First 3 pitches only at 11a. The offwidth is even good

Had to engage some mindfulness to be calm enough for this balancy tick. Totally not in the zone. Might be a bit easier with my sequence, but it can make up for the rest of the sandbags here.

A Dave Gray route from 88, likely a sandbag like the rest of them. 2 shots. I think I will need a stepladder to get on the route, or have to put in an alternative start. Not close.

Better than previous attempts. In that I actually did all the moves. The first pitch went fine as previously, but it's quite step with suspect rock. A second roof then the smooth stemming groove to final roof is the business. The ball nuts got a work out.

No progress today

Another day another shot. Some progress on P2, had reproducible sequence with 2 hangs.

Another incredible crack, not quite as steep, the top section is fun water washed jugging

The sequences seem to be working, now in just have to string them together

Pretty happy , even though it was a top rope. Great effort by Dave on his attempted redpoint.

Team success. Pink pointed on Dave's gear. A RP burn will have to wait for next year. Pre habilitation time is over. It's been a great month.

Summer project I think. The bit between the 2 pockets is only 2 m long but may take a while, plus got to place gear....the rest of it is 21-24 so still interesting, 4 shots to top over last 2 days

This was even dirtier, wasted a lot of effort going right of the bolts with some very funky moves, but couldn’t see how to get through a blank section. Tried going left, probably the way, but a very long move for me

A bit surprised, now have to do it sticking in the gear. Nice conditions today.

Rpt ascents working out how to get the gear in when feeling maxed out. Beautiful Christmas Eve weather

Finally stopped falling off after the crux. Good conditions seeing it was 40 degrees at home. Notes to self- down climb after first 5 bits of gear, triple set C3s,, tape right hand, flag right foot at crux, right hand thumbs down at top of lower crack or won’t reach the next one. Team success!

Tried the 26 and 24 pitches today. Seems possible but very technical. Right index finger hit by broken rock. Now I have 2 painful index fingers.

A couple of goes, can get to small ledge at half height at about grade 25 and up 2 bolts from there. Then it gets harder.

I feel like I needed the anchors lower, after the grade 26 bit......

Nice technical moves. Will have to come back when I have 2 working feet.

A brief session last week and one today. Just working from the crux of toast to start of traverse. If I’m ever going to get this, then it should be this year with Lucy and Mel. Have to work those knee bars.

More laps trying to get fit enough to link one day....

2 more laps to last bolt. Wet up top. Clean from toast crux to half way across traverse when my foot got stuck. Lucys knee bar pads are great!
