攀登 of Shocked

tough, pumpy also

A quick exploratory lap. Bloody oath... I was definitely "shocked"... by how tough this thing is at the grade. About 3 grades harder than Trigga Nigga? Battled through most of the intense climbing with quite a few falls and rests, but never quite managed to put the actual crux together (seems quite desperate to me). A high quality route, and probably my favourite climb of the day.

Well named.

2 shots, much time spent trying to come up with a viable sequence for the start (eventually succeeded). This hasn't gotten any easier in the 2.5 years since I last tried it (there are easier 28's to be found here), but it's a rad test piece. Still need to dial the final "huck" to finish, but it feels possible... one day... maybe??? Anything worthwhile shouldn't come easily.

Rad, but whoever wrote the 26 grade against its name must be dyslexic. I'd say a v5 to start, then solid 23 climbing and probably a v6 before the final jugs. Hardly adds up to 26 in my book, but still a great route. 1 shot to decipher the moves. Succeeded in that except for the top crux.

0.5 shot as I just wanted to see if I could link the starting boulder problem (first 3 clips). The answer would have been yes if it wasn't for a foot slip. Doable though... Something to go back to for sure

Working out upper crux. Felt hard.

Second attempt, stuck the upper crux with the awesome dyno. Now to link it all.

Warm up draw to draw. 2 attempts on the send, getting so close. Fell off the crux hold.

Soo good! 2nd shot 2nd day

This climb is pretty rad! It's a shame that final boulder problem is way harder than the rest of the climb. I'm really hesitant to latch that sharp jug on the dyno, don't want to deglove my hand again. Commitment issues.

Got the upper crux first go today. So happy! Linking everything together seems insane. Maybe one day...

Repeat, trying to link into gay porn crux up high, brilliant

Multiple goes working it out. Super sustained with a really hard start and tough top crux. Really enjoyed this one.

Primo conditions, albeit humid and close to 30. Such a good route, always liked punting off the final boulder problem. If the first boulder problem went better this would be a 4 star route.

So much fun

Crux always felt desperate on link but what a fun climb

My new goal to strive for 💪

the warmup sends continue. Felt easy today

Pretty great route. Very sustained. Feels hard for 26.. or maybe too much bouldering not enough leading lately..

Loses its third star for the heinous start boulder. The rest is top tier. Few dog laps and beta for Redpoint attempts next.

One lap, cool and pretty hard. Lots of commitment and fitness will be needed for a send but this might be a good PC proj for me now!

Linked the star boulder. Need to sort a better sequence leading up to the rest before the crux then get some decent conditions to pull on those crimps!

Fell off that last move more times than i can count, can link the rest of it quite comfortably but that top boulder still feels nails. Came super close a few times so hopefully it'll go soon!

Finally stuck the crux, was desperate but got the job done! Solid for the grade!

All that crack climbing has paid off! Got some awesome hand-jambs to rest fully… sadly wasn’t enough to get me the onsight, that top crux is tough

Busy day at the cliff, so hopped on this because it was free. Felt very solid for the grade, some great dynamic moves

3 shots, highpointed to end of the crux on the last burn of the day. Hopefully next session

x3 Couldn't stick the final dyno (again). Quite a painful one to catch, the jug is super sharp

bouldery start to good rest in the middle. being tall definitely makes the final sequence much easier.

Mega stoked on this one. Felt miles away 2 weeks ago but managed to pull it together nicely today

soft

Very nearly retro-flashed this one. One of the better 26s in Nowra and felt much easier than when I first sent it.

The inspection lap went really well, so when I didn’t even get a 3rd of the way up on the next attempt I was a bit confused. Next shot for sure 😉

Felt hard also the condition where pretty average.

Account opened ! Refreshing to try something new ! took the whole session to work out the lower crux , have something that is workable . Didn’t have much trouble getting through the top crux to the jug .. being taller certainly helps !

Lots of progress made this session. Getting past the bottom crux consistently after some beta refinement. Middle section also cleaned up a bit and have found two rests before upper crux that will give me the power needed to execute that sequence.

Best 22 in Nowra !

EOD sendage in primo Connies !

What a great way to finish up the season !

A bit too hot

Gonna be a good season
