Ascensioni in Nowra come vari tipologie da Gino Lagazio

I was lured in originally by a dude at a tibro rap station who frothed this line, then upon reading Iain Hunter s crag log about not having to pull that hard, i knew id have to see what the hoof is hissin up here. 3 seshies later, accompanied each time by georgia, who eventually sent the approach hike in evolves, i came away with a very unlikely result. 1st burn 3rd session, i went for a lash, threw the full laundry load at it and got tossed at the crux. Georgia went up there and found a new way to traverse the crux, claiming yet again she'd broken the beta. Naturally skeptical, i was on the fuckedge of not going for a second shot but georgia insisted i at least suss her magic genius-guy beta and dipstick clipped first before i could packup. I somehow made it back to the highpoint and figured with nothing to loose, id put all my biccies in the bucket of the girl that holds the slowest known time (skt) for descending caves route. I clipped and found myself above the crux. Terrified id fuck the dog on the final stem corner, i bridged as long as my calves held out and landed the most satisfying of alpine knees in the bushy ledge.

Id recommend this route to anyone that can climb 15 (you read correctly). Lights out movement thats never too burly the whole way up, well protected, and easy to aid.. because its literally an aid route. Very beta intensive, and a great opportunity to learn about the dark arts of stemming in a state that doesnt offer much of it apart from 27s at frog. Im still not real into projecting but to echo Angie's comments in a previous log, this one is worth it, even for the most purest of naked barefoot onsighters.

Feels good to be able to lap this on the way to the extension pitch after redlining my way through a redpoint of this 2 years ago. Still one of the best at the grade in nowra imo

The last of the souths 7s bagged! Punted at the chains on my very first redpoint burn and then spent the next 6 or 7 sessions trying to get back there

Went to NZ to indulge in copius amounts of food and alcohol for a week, came home and sent the proj 2nd shot? Weird beta but ill take it

After punting off this 40 times over many months I rock up today and warm up on it? First 27

Forgot about this gem. Such a fun move

Ice cream!

Still a bloody great route

Harder than I remember

Easier than I remember

Flashed but it wasn't pretty

Felt V7 or hard V6

Dropped the flash at the end, went 2nd shot

Warmup

2nd session, went down pretty easy with fresh fingies

Missed the flash by a bees dick, went 2nd shot

Warmup

Skipped the dicey undercling and popped straight through to the sloper with the razorblades poking through it

Mega stoked on this one. Felt miles away 2 weeks ago but managed to pull it together nicely today

This took way longer than it should have, maybe 20 burns over 2 years. Stoked to finally put it away

2+ year nemesis finally in the bag

Icecream! First session without too much of a fight
