등정들 Britten Crag에서 Alexei Drummond에 의한 sport-cpr 또는 ascent-date를 가진

Getting the gear back.

Not really feeling it today.

Really nice route. Apparently my choice of finish after the last bolt was a body-width left of the sanctioned route because I took a left hand hold in my right hand My theory is that the true line is always whatever the visitor says, not the local. Since the visitor is the one looking at the route with fresh unbiased eyes!

Warm up.

Very bouldery at the bottom and the beta I had for the flash attempt didn’t suit me, and didn't make it to second bolt. Tried from the ground again on the same tie in with more front on beta but didn't feel strong enough in my fingers.

Fun climb. Got great beta from Richard.

Warm up.

First time I managed to clip the third bolt from the crimp rail. Not too keen on a climb where the hardest move is clipping a low bolt

Managed to clip the third bolt from the glued in jug, but won’t do it that way again as my foot was perilously close to slipping as I clipped.

Putting a top rope up for Alysia.

Warm up. Thought this was the 19 to the left, but felt harder and guide revealed the mistake.

Taking the gear down. But at least I worked out how to get to the clipping hold for third bolt.

Putting the gear up.

Warm up.

Better than expected. Great movement on head wall.

I had to onsight it because I was too scared to fall

Went easily after I sat in the sun and warmed up my fingers. Really nice route!

Fingers way to cold to do this first go today.

Warm up

Warm up

Similarly enjoyable to the routes on either side. Anchor chains rusty!

Nice route

Interesting bolting. You would hit the ground if you fell while clipping the anchor. Obviously top is easy but the consequences are much greater than I am after on an average weekend.

Cruisy if you watch somebody on it first

Repeat. Warm up.

Onsight attempt. Hung after clipping last bolt. Moonboard session yesterday seems to have stolen my small crimp endurance and I hung around too long.

Easy #2ndgo once I knew where to go for the slopey top-out.

Awesome! Highest onsight. Felt every bit the grade with a savage start on very small crimps up to the second bolt. Then there is a nice no hands rest after clipping the 3rd bolt. I really didn't want to do the bottom part again so went into full take-no-prisoners mode for the steep section and powered over the top of the 5th bolt where there is another rest and dawdle to the anchors. Really nice climb.

Hard for a 16. Nice filler climb before trying hard again

Actually clipped the fourth draw this time, but got desperate and grabbed the 5th bolt after placing it over the ledge. I see why some recommend skipping that clip. Not quite a hangdog but definitely an improvement on the first go.

Awesome route. Fingers were frozen so very happy with the flash.

Warm down after fighting to clean off Mt Pleasant Butcher

Working go. Worked my way up to the anchors bolt to bolt, grabbing a couple of quickdraws in the process. Quite a muscular climb, but I will give it another go to see if it feels any easier.

Warm up. Had forgotten the sequence from my onsight attempt last time we were down in Christchurch and my fingers were numb from the cold. One hang.

Red point. Easy after I had remembered the sequence. Even with cold fingers. 2nd attempt of the day, third overall.

Too relaxed on this one and found the crux after the last bolt. Called a take instead of reaching for the big jug

Nice but quite soft. I think it is more like 19 as stated in Rock Deluxe South. I didn’t clip the last bolt because it was in an awkward position and the anchor was just beyond.

Putting up the gear for Alex. Took a rest after clipping 4th bolt.

Repeat. Full red point. Put up the gear for Alex and managed to do this one clean again Feels so good to have the top moves really dialled in. I still managed to slightly botch the boulder sequence and I got a little pumped at the end, but nice to repeat it. Makes it feel real.

Repeat. I was trying to climb a different route for a cool down, but the bolting is a bit confusing on this part of the wall and I ended up climbing this one again...

Putting the gear up. Climbed beyond the third bolt cleanly but still hadn't worked out the beta to clip the fourth bolt. After a take I found a nice sidepull for the right hand and worked out the left hand and feet to go to the far right edge for 4th bolt clipping position. I was trying to conserve energy so I grabbed the fifth draw after I put it in, hence this is not logged as a hangdog.

Red point! Second go of the second trip. Sixth go overall. I had a long rest after putting in the draws during the check out, had some food and water and thought about the new beta I had learnt. This time I was only trying to get a high point (i.e. clip the fourth bolt cleanly) so I hadn't set up the camera. But everything came together beautifully and it went down really smooth and clean! So stoked!

Warm up. Couldn't find the fifth bolt so it felt a bit run out, but was a nice warm up. (There was a fifth bolt but it look too far right to be in line with the anchors.)

Putting gear up for Alex. Clean up to clipping 4th bolt then rested there and after 5th bolt.
