Linked pitch 1 & 2; got spooked at the start of the layback (and down climbed some of it). Had to wait around for a bit until I psyched myself up and ran up it!
Rested for a while with some odd knee-bar, head-jam before the roof; then pulled the moves so quickly I can't remember what I did... 9 cams; 3 on pitch 1? Much better than my 20 pieces on Eternity! |

17 | ★★★ Psychopath - with Will Vidler | 28m | ★★★ Classic | Mon 16th Apr 2018 | |||
Compulsory jamming to pull some of the moves; and was super stoked to have pulled it off. Harder than Eternity.
Ran out the entirety of the off-width / chimney section after not being able to find a placement. (It was there and obvious apparently). The #4 I plugged in after run-out felt incredible. 11 cams. I'm glad I had extra #2s though! Lots of shuffling on this. |

Well, now that I've done the real variant finish; I can say that it is definitely much better (and easier, I think). (Fixed the old logs now) |

Alzheimers onsight! 10+ years later. Felt much harder than Little Red Riding Hood. No necessarily hard moves but the pump steadily builds!
Placed 26 pieces of gear adding to the pump and making Jacks top out harder, doubles .5 to 2. A single 0.4 & 4, set of BD wires (10), two chickenhead slings and small totems (4). Carried 2 3s to the top but didn’t use them. Left them at the crux for Jack! Bit scared at the start on the small gear but settled after a 1/3rd or so. |

Following Jack end of day; the start was nails for 17
!! (in the dark with a head torch)
There’s a nut stuck in one of the cracks, spent some time trying to get it out but that ain’t going anywhere. (How did you even get that in there mate?) Jack had a monstrous run out from that nut (just after the second last bolt) to the last bolt where he decided not to place any of his double rack of cams. Dumbass. 😂 The arete at the top was bloody marvellous, didn’t expect to be pulling those kind of moves on a 17, so damn awesome. Very keen to try the original during the day and compare. |
