Ascents in Mt Coolum by Igor Khudoshin

First time getting on this line for a while. Forgot a bunch of beta on Weapon of Choice so needed to relearn and dog quite a bit. Went to anchor of CoD, super fun arete and cruxy traverse. Feels pumpy

Trying to get some links

Couldn't even make it to the top. Rain and humidity overnight made some holds near anchors of Weapon too slippery to use

Going through and re-learning beta

Fell moving to the arete on COD. Couldn't get back enough from the kneebar where weapon splits off and pumped out on jugs. Surprised I made it this far. High point. Went to anchors and figured out last few moves dogging along the way.

Made sure to engage in kneebar rest at 1st bolt and backrest really hard and get something back. Felt much better going through the traverse to the arete but still nearly fell off the mega jugs on the rete. Managed to rock on over to the face and compose myself for the finish. Kneebar pads were sliding off for the last few bolts as I didn't do them up tight enough but luckily I could still do the last few without slipping out. Very satisfying send, didn't think I'd get it today

Decided to see the rest of it after the screaming send. Looks like it could go reasonably soon

Warming up and fell on anchors of screaming, guess I'm not cool enough for that yet

Clipped the bolt past creaming anchors but couldn't go further

Fell just after clipping screaming anchors after cutting loose twice, can't get sloppy

Fell going for the crimp on crux of Screaming, dissapointed

Fell clipping the screaming anchors then went to work out the rest

Clipped the screaming anchors and sorted out the sequence for the top. Just need to do it now

Fell moving through screaming crux, didn't feel particularly strong. Dogged up to bolt past screaming anchors

Missed the screaming crux crimp again. Dogged the rest

Kneebar pad got stuck on a draw. Tried to go clean from screaming anchor after resting and only just didn't make it

Fell lots, feeling pretty useless. Then had to struggle to clean it

Putting up draws

Got clean to hold just before clipping jug 2nd to last bolt

Messed up the bottom horribly, decided to finish to get some practice

Got clean to hold just before clipping jug 2nd to last bolt

Putting up draws. Got screaming insanity clean, then rested

Fell going for the right hold just before 2nd to last clip.

New high point. Got to the knee scum right before the anchors. Fell going for the last hold

Pumped out on 2nd to last hold, couldn't even clip, too tired

Putting up draws

Dogged mostly

Feeling pretty good, foot came off moving to the two horns near the top and fell

Pumped out on the two big horns near top and fell

Fell after missing a hold at the screaming anchors. almost red pointed

Fell reaching for the last hold

Fell just after clipping the second to last bolt

Only barely clipped the screaming anchor. Won't get any better today

Fell going for last hold

And again

Warmdown

Got mega shut-down by this one. Spent ages working out the beta for the first cruxy section as I couldn't do it the same way I saw. Eventually got something passable but was too pumped to continue

Made it thorugh the first hard section this time (dogging) but still haven't worked out beta properly. Spent a lot of time whipping and working main crux with no real results

And again, barely made it into the first crux. This climb seems to be really good at shutting me down or I'm just really coolum unfit. Will get my revenge one day

Putting draws up. Conditions not great, slipped off screaming crux

Still couldn't get past top crux. tried a few times

Finally got this one

Warm up, fell on last move

working out beta and warming up. start section feels really sketchy the first time, and the top can be committing

sorting out beta at the lip

third time's the charm. didn't feel too hard with all the beta sorted

First ever attempt and just figuring out beta. Got to second to last bolt but couldn't figure out the clipping stance. Feels hard

Worked attempt. Made it through all the moves individually with about a million rests. All moves feel possible, just going to be really hard to link

Working

Fell going for final jug. Went through and managed to recover plenty upto then but just didn't have enough left for last move. Should go soon

Falling on last move
