Ascensioni di Steaming Wally

Had a look on TR solo. Spent just about as much time gardening as climbing, and will probably need to come back with a tree saw and some clippers. Had to scrap for every inch after the second bolt, absolute enigma. - Any hot-tips would be greatly appreciated.

Nice for being at kp, techy and balancy with a powermove and high feet to reach the top

Figured out the beta but no time for a proper shot. Actually not too bad once it clicks.

Kinda worked out the bottom half but couldn't figure out the last move Oscar Bassi I need your wisdom.

Rad to see I can still climb this. Refigured out the subtleties of the beta and sent 2nd shot.

Short and thin slab boulder, hard to work out. Holds that seam important just aren’t. Great puzzle 🧩

A girraweenesk KP climb. Awesome

Wages was wet so why not Wally? A complete mystery from the second bolt to the chains. Nice to have a little proj to paddle on

Just for kicks, wanted to try this out.

Had a go to see if I could remember beta for Dave and was surprised at how I could remember the beta! Amazing moves that is underappreciated imo.

Got some beta from Moogi and feels achievable now. Still feels like the hardest move I’ve ever pulled on a route, including those with higher grades.

Thought it looked cool from the ground and jumped on with no idea what the climb was. Made it to 2nd bolt, after which it was just hopelessly insecure. Thought it felt kinda hard, glad it wasn’t just me!

Feels more achievable with the new shoes, but still barn doorey as.

Beta is fairly well refined now, but spoogy conditions tonight.

Thanks David Jefferson for cleaning that huge cactus off the ledge! The next problem is climbing to that ledge...

Super duper hard

Hanging draws and putting up top rope

Made all of the moves clean and refined some beta, but still need to link it all together. In my view, far harder than anything else at KP.

Took some pretty rough falls. It's probably a good idea to clip the third bolt while working the moves.

Aided to the anchors using the stick clip to prune the prickly pear and remove 10kg of debris from the ledge.

Figured out the crux, and good lord what a crux it is! Couldn’t manage to link all of the moves tonight, but feels achievable.

Bailed from the top bolt due to the extreme overgrowth of prickly pear on the ledge. I desperately want to like this climb, since it’s one of the few hard lines at the cliff I haven’t done, but it just sucks.

I looked up from the ground and thought "sick slabby move, looks doable." Boy was I wrong. Bail biner left on bolt 3. You can only access it from the top through cactus. A true 26.

I think I might have figured it out! Will need to come back with a vacuum cleaner for the top though...

Way harder than it looks. Had to aid climb it out with the clip stick haha will come back to it maybe. Very hard!

NAILS.

NAILS.

Barn door much!

Just... hard.

Didn't expect to re-send this second shot today. Took ages to suss out the moves again, but it went super smooth. Afterwards, Ash helped me figure out a perfect static way to do the lower crux.

Every time I get on this it reminds me why I usually don't get on this.

First attempt at a 26. Wasn't able to get the move to the pocket, but managed to eventually get the dynamic move to the top.

First time falling on this in a while!

gah, not really close tonight

Sick!
