Ascensões em Te Waipounamu / The South Island como Attempt

Went for it only to discover there are 2 bolts missing hangers. The first is easily by-passed, but the 3rd bolt is hangerless. I downclimbed

Great. I went for the onsight thanks to whoever left their draws up there. Fell off at upper head wall. Need more endurance. What a route!

Tried to jump on this before the rain came. Didn't get far! Super sharp, but will come back for it!

Couldn't get to the 4th bolt. I may have ripped of a crucial 'knobby' hold. Excellent climb though! Will be back.

felt hard for grade. high first bolt.

Seems like a sweet route, but I couldn't find my way past the final bolt! Next time

Probably the coolest problem I have tried. Came so close to the send but kept falling on the last move before the mantle.

Couldn't trust the smears, especially with only 1 mat, so I had to down climb.

Really fun jump to start. Came close to the lock-off move.

Turned around at top of Summit Rocks due to boiler plate ice. Lots of rocks and ice firing from the gunbarrells. Would liken it to glissading through a shooting gallery. Enormous serac fall off Linda Shelf, on way down.

super hard move at the end! couldn't clip the chains. Hard for a 19...

Couldn't make second clip:( Fun seconding though

No steam left after day of lapping steep stuff!

Couldn't figure out the moves over the headwall and was too tired to keep trying. Felt quite tricky

Just too pumped to complete at 13/18 of 18 18s challenge. Was super fun to half way.

Got about half way up it, but feet kept slipping off. this climb is too polished for a hot day, cooler temps needed

Not sure if you're meant to top out. I cant see how it would be a V5 without it though. Kept slapping the top sloper then losing feet and falling

Smearing and crimpers at the start and commitment at the end!

First climb on real rock - yay! Will come back soon and finish this

Had a quick go since Jed put the draws on. Crux start leads into pretty easy climbing (no harder than 20), but sustained with no really good rests. Perfect for gym climbers, unless they don't like taking whippers! Great fall

Pumpy and steep, must give it another try!

We asked Guillaume where we should be going and he indicated straight up, but he was further up the boulder field and parallax was in play. What James started up was definitely not DB Eh, it was somewhere well left of that. After some desperate runout slabbing, not much pro, a #5 cam in a creek, and a sketchy directional-only anchor at about 50m, I climbed up 20m while still belaying and taking in so I could lower James through gear, then we downclimbed to lick wounds. Dodgy-as. Must revisit.

Backed off due to missing bolt.

crux smashed me.

totally pumped from day prior.
