Girls (and boys) In The Hood
It's fun for the whole family!
While the Blueys was soaked Nowra climbers basked in (occasional) sunshine and lots was done.
Nathan Hoette got in two fine repeats, making the second ascent of Zac's 2007 classic Trailer Trash in the Grease Cave, commenting that he thought the grade should be 32. The route starts up White Trash, crosses into Skin To Skin and then punches straight out the roof. He also made the 2nd(?) ascent of Vince's Slipping into Narcism 31 in the Little Grease Cave. This one starts up Narcosis and finishes up Slip Slop Slap.
Matt Adams made short work of Insane in the Brain 30 at the Hood, after the holds at the top were excavated from the sand pit that was covering them. Also at the Hood I cleaned up and climbed an old project to do the first ascent of Rollin With The Syndicate 27. It goes to the second bolt on Girls In The Hood and the goes right to a ring, up to a second ring and then right to the arete and up. A classic, but of course I think that! Rollin's already had a few repeats and received rave reviews. An old Fieg classic, Pimp Behind The Wheels 29 here has been cleaned and rebolted so it's primed for more ascents. There are a few projects at the Hood, please respect the work put in and stay off them until they've been climbed.
Back over at Thomos, Justin Jefferson squirmed his way up Love Bug 27 and Nig Campbell did Narcosis 30 and he flashed Evil E at the Hood. Axel Triton ticked Ain't No Sunshine 28 at South Central on his first visit to the creek.
