Ascensioni in Granite Island

Cams to #4 big enough.

Entertaining (to watch). Grade and quality hard to assign for this one.

May have topped out one bolt early... No chains on top.

I don’t know how this is graded easier than the weird crack to the left. Much harder top out.

Was quite an easy one mover

Not sure if this was a lip eliminate or a total eliminate following the exact beta outlined in the write up. I climbed it using other small crimps, which made it much easier, and couldnt really avoid matching the sidepull without being at the lip as it was only a few cm from the lip.

This one will be an Island Classic. Technical and fully engaged.

Some enjoyable movement with a pretty terrible landing. Maybe 3 or 4 pads might be able to make a flat landing?

Would be a 2 star line if it wasnt for the awkward start! Heartbreaker final move will give your spotters sweaty hands

An awkward start to some fun traversing

Repeated for a warm up, a really nice line.

This one seemed much harder the first time I tried it and then the next session it was a breeze? Not sure what I did differently.

Some good moves with some sea spray on my back.

Some crack tech came in handy for the top moves.

Would be gunning for a classic line if it wasnt for the boulder at the base making the start awkward.

Good mantle

Oh so satisfying one mover.

Sent first go today, without the right beta this one can seem a lot harder.

Some good slabbing.

Some absolutely classic movement on unique jib features up the face. Some slopers on the arete helped too. Unsure on the grade on this one, as all beta options may not have been explored.

Really enjoyable slab climbing with a spicy finish!

Found this one really tough, as it has not been repeated and I am not a proficient roof climber I will stick with V4. A very high quality line that has some grit due to wind blasting, but all holds are bomber.

Some foot holds to start may be hidden under succulents!

First climb on the boulder to find a way up it and test any loose rocks!

Favourite of the boulder.

Some nice moves to an easier top out.

A very enjoyable line, still some grit in the crack that will clean up with repeats.

Very enjoyable line.

Some rough rock

Bit of a stiff V1 with a technical start.

Another Aesthetic line. Tricky mantle to a delicate finish.

Nice mantle.

Climbs well on an aesthetic line.

Contorted start
