등정들 Colosseum Wall Area에서 Hang dog로서

This wouldnt be too bad if you are good at jamming. I am not so this was hard. The top section is strenuous

Very enjoyable, I just momentarily forgot how to jam. This jamming business... It's a love/hate kind of thing.

Relented once again; the smooth thin hands section getting out of the cave was just too committing on gear. Didn't have time for another go before heading back to Melbourne.

Gear tips for next time: in order, I used a #.75 after the first few moves, a small nut (wallnut#3 maybe?), a wallnut#5 deep in the crack at the bottom of the cave, a #1 at the top of the cave (another #.75 may have left the good jam free), then a #2 and #3. A second #3 would be useful for an anchor. There are rap chains around the left.

Too tired or lacking commitment required at the end of a long day to battle through the onsight. Fell once below the jug.

Bummer, feel in the wide apart... Need to get back to do it clean. Still a good practice for wide cracks.

couldn't commit to the crux once again

Used this as a warm up for blasphemy and got a rude awakening. Offwidth yuckyness

Well, I have to come back to do it, but great climbing!

hardest trad grade attempted so far, also first time i weight a piece of gear mid-route (not at anchor). still too unconfident on the gear to risk an actual fall trying something im not super confortable doing

got the crux first try, fell going up. got everything after that in a single go as well. fun and technical, would like to get it but would be a bit scared with the runout after the bolts end

Hard jams. Ben wanted to try it but couldn't get to the top so I dogged up.

very cool but felt out of the realm of possibility while on the wall (probably because i always go on with 0 beta) i know i can probably do it

felt a bit better with jamming after the rack, definitely need crack gloves. Layback sequence at the crux with small steps up, pressing hard on the wall till on the ledge and then get right hip over for a rest before going up with easier layback to the jugs

After a crash course on jamming with Muki, tried on this little beauty, will need more practice and a pair of crack gloves for sure

Really nice crack climbing, got up it with two sits.

Still being spanked by the cold, came out of the jam at top, a bit painful, declined to go back up on lead. And why the hell is the entire lower arete chalked up right next to the bomber crack?

Always happy to clean for this kween

Play in the sun, could pull the crux with a bit of work but pretty challenging at least with jammy beta - probably easier with more facey style. C1 gear the whole way.

Amazing experience coming back to lead this route after top-roping it in Autumn. Helped get me confident falling + sitting on gear.

Got absolutely schooled! Foot jams hurt, hand jams are taxing if you don't know what you're doing, damn I wanna come back to get it clean.

Flailing around like an alpine draw in the wind. Need to come back for it.

Fun!!
