Ascents in World as sport by o_g

Nice route. Cleanest of the routes here.

Amazing. Like the whole wall, this route has its share of loose rock, but the long traverse is one of the more out there pieces of climbing ive done. Single rope is fine (take some long draws to minimise rope drag). Probably easiest to clean by having the route seconded.

The roof at bolt 3 felt ok, but the top move to get to the anchor stumped me.

With Paul. Nice route. Ive done it before I think.

Tricky getting of the ground, then technical slabing. I wussed out and grabbed a draw. Boooo. Hard for the grade.

Project shopping. Did all the moves, feels doable. Not sure whether to climb the corner and traverse under the roof at top, or climb the arete. Corner is less pumpy, but hard to clip.

Did this twice with a couple of rests in the top corner.

First try tonight. The wet hold was dry! Main key was sneakily putting a long draw on bolt 7, and taping it in position to make it an easy clip from the 'wet' hold.

Nails. This route has my number.

Nice climbing. Not as sustainer as the other routes.

Excellent. Natural gearbstraightforward. Micro cams for first crack, mid sized wires for top. Almost pumped off the top.

spanked.

Get on it.

Warm up. Felt hard. Went for the wrong hold at the top.

Lead 1st half of AM to set up a top rope on P1. Sorted all the moves out. Cool pitch. In the middle of a dry spell, the jug at the top of the black streak is still wet. Therefore, its always wet.

2nd go. No hard to read moves. Nice route.

Warm up

Spanked by the traverse.

Felt really solid 2nd shot. Would be bloody hard without chalk on the holds.

2.5 tries today. Not a particularly easy tick. Great route until the ledge at 3/4 height, which is a no hands rest, and makes it a bit inconsistent.

Project shopping. Backed off at low roof. Might need to pre place the draws.

Nice lead by roger. A couple of rests for me but leadable. Some tenuous and balancy moves.

Better route than i remembered.

First go today, putting on the gear. Only just made it through the traverse at the top.

Followed ben. Still a few loose flakes being pulled off. P1 is nothing special (easy to step left to rest in cr) P2 is great. Long technical arete.

Warm up.

more warming up

Felt straightforward. Had done years ago. Got drenched by a rouge wave when belaying ben.

Dogged up on lead, then a top rope go. Powerful through the bottom roof, then thin and technical moving right at the top. Sling, .75 and. 5 cam for gear up crack. Loooong.

2nd go. Steeper than it looks.

Got shut down on lead. Did moves on top rope after a good deal of dogging around. Felt hard for the grade to me.

another nice pumper.

Not as good as the other routes here, but still pretty good.

Had a look at the end of the day. Excellent steep climbing. Rock quality a bit crap, but well bolted and will clean up. May only be 22 or 23.

Nice climbing, but too easy to step right to get rests.

Early morning visit to beat heat on way back to airport. Bloody hard start for 17.

Amazing pockets, then cool leftwards traverse.

Moves ok. Still nervous about highstepping.

Well bolted. Interesting feature. Jeez my feet were hurting though...

Burly and technicaly interesting. Did all the moves, but would struggle to lead it. Tough clips

Had done before. Excellent route, almost a classic. Techical, but with rests.

not bad.

Interesting, but not as good as AM27.

Nice climbing. I didnt like the L hand crimps so backed off.

Actually used a couple of mono's. Sweet!

steep! razor sharp edge at bolt 4.

Got a bit scared about 2 rusty bolts, but was able to place a sling in crack to left to back them up. The roof felt hard, and the upper wall was pumpy on rounded marbly horizontals. A bit dusty, but good climbing.

Unusual climbing. Good value.

Not a great warm up. Had two goes, and couldnt do it clean. Too much left hand crimping.
