Ascensioni in Main Crag

Still whacky, this is the sort of thing I like

Whipped on the first go. Kept it together on the second go. Fuck yeah! My legs were shaking like a leaf starting from the crux on the extension

This thing punched me in the nose again

Showing Vincent the beta

Been wanting to do this on gear for ages... super fun and good placements where you want them.

That low crux is definitely a tough one! Took a couple of goes to get it worked out. Ended up doing a thumb press on two tiny pebbles to help with the stand up. Hopefully they stay there for a long time! Overall an awesome climb, can't wait to return to try the extension.

Warm up for the day

another send at the Theej! not totes sure about the anchor placement though? I ended up topping out at top of the fridge kind directly above last bolt. but did feel easy for 23 once i knew what to hold

I am on my way to climbing every route here! (glacis is gonna be a toughie though). I have said it before and I will say it again - bury me at the Cathedral

Oh woah this gets 19? maybe? feels stiff for 18 down low sure, but 19? probs checks out. this climb is delightful though! thin hand crack start, to 3D nonsense, to sport climbing past a few bolts. it may actually be the best warmup here! so bring a rack folks and stop warming up on wacky tabacci

Back on the horse. I would be honoured for this to be my first 25. All moves go, and honestly was pretty stoked to link to the penultimate bolt. The next lil sequence is wild, and there is one move that surely is not the beta but it just might work?

climbed this to attempt the extension, but seeing as i got this clean, im ticking it! esp considering my shocking attempt the other day. moves from second bolt to third are probs my second fav sequence at the Theej

wow first go today! pretty stoked but i do believe its a tad easier for the taller folks. would love to hear some beta from shorter folks - what on earth do you do up there?! great final sequence - maybe my fav crux sequence at the Theej?

hard onsight so i ticked the heck out of it. also vvv sandy - this climb needs a lil more love

first attempt saw me to the top, so gave it another burn to see if i could pull off something incredible. i could not. but stoked to link to and clip the last bolt. the next sequence is sick af but oh so hard by that point. excited to show mr buns this one. and omg this is a way better greenpoint than hercules - bomb nasty gear the whole way!

always a pleasure and always a chore

yay a send! new tick on the crag for me but i have climbed this thing. not sure if clean though! waaaay harder than i remembered!

a day of some sending, more not sending, and a healthy amount of unsending

final climb of the day (7/7) and it was a gd shocker

plugged in my dial up for this one

tried the direct - yet another day being mystified but cruxes of the cathedral. clean once i swallow my pride and stepped into the crack. will come back for the 22 version

A much more relaxed send this time, good to get some chimneying happening again!

My memory was poor, screwed up several sequences, but somehow managed to hold on and get a clean repeat. Always a fun climb!

Took 4 sessions to finally piece the crux together! It was a long process, but the sequence is really cool. I know a few strong boulderers have talked about a dynamic method, mine was fully static.

wahoo! stemmed and hand jammed to clip the 6th bolt. then a few moves in the crack before coming back onto the face. maybe 21 this way? or easier? was i meant to do more of the overhanging crux face? maybe? but could i? no way so why bother

top was way too cryptic (read hard af). bailed onto prevenge. couldn't do that either so bailed onto dobsters. sydney guidebook thankfully says you gotta do this in winter otherwise its impossible, which makes my ego feel much better. thanks mr carter

kinda wild for 16 if you avoid the arete for too long. but still engaging and a great warm up for its neighbours

I mainly climbed fisticuffs once I could reach the crack. Those jams are too tempting

Took my first Trad whip in a long time from a foot slip on the layback up the top. Blaming new shoes. Had a light bounce of the ledge below. Thrilling. Great climb. #7 is good for top

Feels hard. Would love an extra inch of reach on this one

Tried to stay on the face too long. When I got back to ground my boots were full of leeches. Such is life

Slapped at nothing.

Much more pleasant lay-backing.

First lead attempt, let go a few moves after splitting from FIYF. Not fully recovered 🤧, also a little spooked by the runout which didn’t seem so bad on top rope.

Best route at the crag besides hecules extensjin

Should have flashed. Heaps fun climbing. There's an awesome spot for a heel. Anchors placement is perfect so you get the full experience!

quotes from this ascent in chronological order: 'why do i have all this stuff?' 'these are the worst conditions i've ever climbed in' 'f*ck oh f*ck its a leech'

I was suprised to get a clean repeat of this after having a heat death on vitez. But the highlight of the day was then catching Jake Delaminate on the Longest Survivable Whip™ on his greenpoint attempt. fell from the chains to just below the first bolt. jeez louiz.

easily the biggest whip i have ever taken. perhaps my first true 'fat winger'©. punted from the chains onto a TEARRIBLE .75 totem that ripped. guess the only way to truly know if your piece is bad is to fall on it. yep. it was bad. If the route is 15m, I fell at least 10 of that. terrifying. caught by a delightfully small 5kn peenut tho! felt a fair bit pumpier on gear ugh

first time climbing the crack above! I normally climb the arete to the left! Cool to watch Mr Buns throw in all the wide stuff. Oh, and become the sweatiest he has ever been. good condies
