hehehe !! --- Arnie's ' Girly-man ' culture is spreading nicely !

The Jap-dudes key ascent is indicated with * --- he returned to the route to ensure a true continuous ascent . No cred for the ' jug back ' ascent --- he knows the deal & will probably return to this route also ...

Lynn's ascent is IMPRESSIVE but itz not CONTINUOUS ...

Lee retreats to belay ledge ; Jap jugs ; Lynn hopes no-one will notice amid all the razzamataz ...NOT continuous ascents...down-climbing from a hard-bit , resting and then successfully ascending the pitch would barely scrape in as continuous ascents, because significant back-towards-the-start-of-the-route movement had been made...

Australian climbing still has a lot of catching-up to do...
