Ascensioni in Samaritan Rocks

Evening climb, bit of seepage but sick climb

My fingers where too fat :-(

Had to rest to get the nuts out, very nice climb, rather pumpy

Very good, technical climb with ok stances for placing gear. I found the rockover/mantle at the end of the crack pretty scary.

Loved this little ripper. Short and sharp. On a mission to climb as many perth cracks as possible.

Great little crack with a fun mantle. I need smaller fingers or just need to be better generally to do this while placing gear.

Short fix practice

First trad 19. Almost onsited :-( Real decking potential.

Great little climb, fiddly to protect but great fun.

I guess I'm not as good anymore as I was 8 years ago

Felt hard. Moves are fun though.

Came off the pinch and shredded all four tips on my right hand. Taped them up and managed to do the moves to the third bolt with the rope pre clipped. Got shut down topping out but I think mainly due to being psychologically and physically cooked. Loailing forward to coming up with fresh skin. Feel confident it'll go.

Finally coming together! Should go this week. Working this is hard on the skin. Limited burns possible each session on those sharp holds. Slab at the top is really nice finish.

Super bummed. Made it through the crux on my first attempt, but then when I went for red point I had to tape up every tip on my right hand as they were bleeding, and I just kept coming off those sharp holds. This is completely ready to go. Will come back in 10 days with some renewed skin and get the send. It's a great climb, the two middle holds are just really unforgiving to those who take more than a couple of goes.

Made it clean to the slab on top, came off in the final hard move getting my right foot onto the good edge. The bottom felt really solid on my first attempt. Long draw helps on the third bolt!

So stoked to finally send this. It took a much longer battle than the grade would suggest. But I could feel it coming in the air tonight.

Big shout out and thanks to Gwyn for all the belays. It sucks that an over enthusiastic belay on my part during a slip pulled you off what might have been your pink point. Yours will go next time definitely!

Thought I'd onsighted this when I did the mantle and went up the arete on the right of the slab but was way too easy. Worked out the slab on TR on the way down, great fun working out the crux past 2nd bolt. Will hopefully be back to lead properly.

If you climb this as per the topo on here and in the book, it's just a couple of hard moves then easy through the middle and top. Not 24.

Climbing straight up the slab without the holds on the right arête, would be significantly harder than 24 I think?

The hard moves are all on the first bolt with ground fall consequence, so pre clipped the second bolt.

Some sharp holds and tricky moves. Ran out of time to have a proper go from ground sadly.

Hard work.. 14???

14 is way soft

Found this quite hard, I couldn't get good jams and the body positioning was a bit hard cause the cracks in a corner

Didn't have big enough cams to lead this, and I wasn't about to solo it. I agree it's more like 16 than 14.

Slighly awkward corner crack.

Just glorious for a 14. You name it, hands, fists, it loves it. Ang led

Probably very good if you like crack climbing. Did this without any hand or foot jams and it felt very hard for a 14. It was a little desperate, haha.

Nice jamming. Too bad it´s so short

Awesome climb! Such a beautiful corner crack. Starts as tight hands and gets wide to fists.

Tricky little crack, well for me anyway. Nice jamming. I feel it could be harder than 14 but could just be my lack of crack skills.

Another crack to humble me.

Would've been more fun with the right rack

I'm just not going to hand jam when laybacking, compression, face climbing or any other thing is an option

Lovely arête with good movements and small feet and smears. Had a hole in my shoe so will come back for the send.

Came back with new shoes and sent this one. Really great arête and face climbing. One powerful move to a small hold into the crux, followed by some smearing to reach the jugs along the top.

Pretty much sums up my weekend
