Ascensiones en Northwest Slopes and plains por Vanessa Wills teniendo sport-cpr o ascent-date

Hopefully the predicted rain will settle the dust. Really great and varied moves and steeper than it looks. One go on TR to brush the holds then sent with a bit of power grunting and wobbling before we had to leave.

Rpt. Quite a tricky one

Rpt. I keep thinking a clean up of this route is needed. Nice traddish climbing on bolts, a couple of finger size cams can also be used.

Rpt, needed a bit of a brush. Left hand crack glove/ tape useful for me. Unfortunately I had brought 2 right hand gloves ( duh!)

Rpt. The moves on this route are great, if only it remained a bit cleaner. Rock improves a lot after 8 m. Calf pump! The vegetation up high doesn’t interfere with route.

Rpt.

Rpt, people keep forgetting to clean the bolt under the roof. We will return thebooty

Rpt on Clive’s rope.

Still top ropable.

Rpt, quick end of day lap. Probably more a 22. The rock at the bottom really is crap.

Rpt. The bolts are not loose, they are quite spaced , a nice airy climb that will uncomfortable if you aren’t solid at the grade

Again good from 4th bolt. Would be better to aid on first bolt. Pretty clean given lack of traffic

Rpt

Has got pretty dirty up top, but climbs ok. The bouldery direct start looks interesting

The warm up of the area, I always find this quite desperate.

Alzheimer’s flash

Took a bit of cleaning. Unfortunately Robin and John’s bolts are within clipping distance in the lower half, though the crux and above is pure trad, mostly small to medium wires. The old single bolt needs replacing and anchors would be good. will add to the to do list. 23/24 maybe. It too k a number of tries to sort out

Rpt

Rpt, not a good ground up option due to risk of hitting the ground

Rpt

Rpt. I think this is my favourite route of Robins. The rock is the best on the wall

Rpt

FFA. Love a nice arete. Bouldery start may be easier for short, but then you suffer higher up.

Rpt

Rpt

Quite atypical for the area, overhanging and featured. First go felt harder, but with some dusting it came together nicely.

Rpt warm up. Best of someone seconds and cleans, and then walk across buttress to anchors of Meritorius to get off.

Rpt. A bit run out near the top. Some thoughtful movement

Rpt.

Rpt, a bit dirty post fires and rain. But still very nice

Rpt. Good rock throughout.

Rpt, another nice route, with slightly spaced bolts that can be supplemented with gear.

Rot. A bit dirty after all the rain. A heady journey if you were just leading at this grade

Rpt, really liked it this time. The last bolt sleeve sticks out. We removed first bolt as couldn’t be tightened.

A reasonable cleaning job. Shame it was not kept as a mixed route as the top half would protect well.

Did TR it early in its development with Fantini, he has added a number of new bolts including some small aperture hangers and give it a good scrub. Some old blts have not been removed. Puppy. Spectacular top 15 m but pretty average rock quality in middle 10 m. Puppy placing the oodles of qds, especially trying to find ones that fit the hangers mid crux.

FFA. Quite crimpy. May only be 23 with more cleaning. Fantastic victory jug.

This was meant to be an easy warm up, but trickier than it looks. The crimps felt better today than back in December.

Pretty dirty and chossy in the lower third. The climbing does improve. Not Robins best route.

Nice varied moves on pretty good rock. More like 32 m so be careful

Short but interesting climbing

Not quite the easy grade 20 I was hoping for. Next time I will move the rope to where I intended instead of bolting where it lands, though now I have 2 projects to return to.

Prior to the FA with JF belaying. The last 10 m are fantastic. A little crappy before that.

If I manage this it may be my hardest FA. May take a few visits.

Good rock for this part of the wall, and a strong line. Best to avoid the semi hanging belay and do it as a long pitch

Would easily get 25 in the blueys. I would need to put in a lot of very long slings to make this feel safe, so I think happy with top rope. Definitely not 23 at my height.

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.

Second go, after a scary onsight attempt due to spaced bolts. Hard moves at second bolt especially if lacking a big wingspan. Placed a very long sling on the fifth bolt.

Do yourself and belayer a favour and aid the choss at the start to enjoy this route as the climbing is good above. Quite spicy bolting, interesting fin feature

Second P1, led P2, Barley puts up some good routes but this isn't one of them. There is 7m of good climbing around a block on P2 after an Ok arête sequence, but you wonder what keeps the block there. The first pitch was exfoliating weetbix. The rock in the crack just starts to improve when you are made to traverse across some ok face moves to arête. I don't mind choss, the route to the left has quite a bit, but was was a good adventure. This is just crap and hopefully I have stopped someone else's suffering with my description. If you must a single rack from TCUs to # 4 helps.
