Ascents of Unchained

warmup sandbag. Thought this was the 20.

Took a while to work out a sequence.

Changed my sequence mid crux, to try a direct sequence instead.

Nice pretty area, with a adventurous drive in. The routes were probably better when they got more traffic and a good clean.

Top to bottom stunning moves. Such a wonderful mix of flowing movement on great stone. The pocket pulls, the locked in high traverse, the funky finish.

Suited my style, good conditions? But 4 weeks on the couch and a gammy knee? 21 seems right. Maybe the low traverse is 23 - looks slopy and awkward enough.

Really intimidating traverse. Good footwork was key. This rock is incredible, especially up top.

Cannot stop frothing about the rock quality! So good up top. But of a tricky traverse sequence with not much for the feet and then fine to the anchors.

Not as a warm-up. First climb of the day, straight from the Django anchors without resting and got lost as the OBVIOUS finish above is the finish for 22 to the right? Downclimbed and tried to traverse back on-line, but fell off. Potentially okay climbing, but pretty contrived.

Good value for a 23, the no feet part makes you pull pretty hard. Great top crimping but no anchor, come on guys.. do it right.

Rad climbing from Django onwards consisting of cool moves on top rock!

Rad ! Felt pretty easy today in good conditions.

A few goes, all the moves sorted. Probably should have ticked. Oh well. I get to have another burn soon
