Ascents of J2

Session 2: First move is absolutely dialled. Worked a lot on making that second move with extra pads to prevent my head rattling around in my noggin' too much. Finding the micro beta to make it consistent was challenging, finding the heel placement, the right toe and latching the hold with hips tucked in the dead space really had me worked. I don't think I can cut on the second move at all due to my height so I'll have to really hit it with precision and tension on the send burns. Slowly but surely the climb is coming together. Next session will probably be dyno focused as it's still very much in my mind and I feel mentally stuck on it even when I visualise the moves. Hopefully with enough throws it will feel second nature.

Session 1: Really have to turn it on for all the moves in this one. The start move was way bigger than it looks on video, but we got it knocked off relatively quick(5 attempts). After that worked the 3rd to 5th move as the landing off the second move was just too rough and I was getting a headache from the impact of slamming the mats every time.

The dyno is probably going to be the hardest move for me, building up the mental game to make that throw off the heel will take some time to commit to, did a few practice jumps off the pads and a few off the heel. But it will definitely be the hardest.

Overall - everything you could want from the first session, moves getting dialled in, micro beta adjustments for the feet - this could well go, eventually.

Dream climb. Took 14 sessions. Powerful moves, 70 degrees overhanging, and a low percentage dyno last move.

fun steep slapping
