Ascents by Julian Parsert

2nd 8b i sent in the last 3 days . Tried it first 1.5 years ago where i could barely do the moves. This year it felt a lot better, it's nice to see some progress. The route has 4 (6C-7A) boulders and everyone seems to disagree on which of the 4 is the hardest. For me it was the second one. I sent it the first time i passed the 2nd boulder. Also thanks Mischa coming in clutch for the beta improvement suggestion for the last boulder. The easy top out felt so sketchy today, I almost pumped out up there.

6 goes, 2 sessions. First 8b in so few sessions. Maybe soft but suited me very well . Amazing boulder with some technical kneebars.

Hard, hard, hard.... Feels like 8a to the rest followed by another boulder. Tried it the first time 3 years ago. Many sessions over the years, this year 2nd session. Cant beleive i sent it first time i reached the rest, i was certain i'd fall on the last boulder at least once. Started all my send goes from the ground and not platform.

Softest 8b around, climbs nicely though. IMO easier than Uranus. 2nd session this year, tried it a couple of times over the years and last year it was wet all the time. <20 moves from the no-hand to the top, very enjoyable power endurance. This really is the end of my grade sky-scraper

Nice line. Lots of kneebars. Weird and pumpy finish.

Nice route, stupid name. 7c/+, top boulder over right, no preclip. I agree, going over left would be nicer but i'll reserve eliminating holds and other shenanigans for gym climbing.

7c+/8a. First redpoint try. Hard to find beta, but once you've found it, it's easy. Used 4 kneebars. Cool line.

3rd go. Felt really hard. With kneepad.

3rd go. Really nice moves, unexpected send. Felt very hard in the first go.

Really nice combination. No idea about the grade, for me a lot easier than baylon and a lot harder than Movie It. Tripple send with the crew.

Very nice, my style, 3 sessions with long time between. If you are tall the crux is before and after the "jump". Is this the start of the foundation of my beatiful grade sky scraper

Hard start boulder for the grade.

Couldn't do the start boulder last year. This year it felt easy and sent right away.

Fell once with the chain in my face.

2nd go. Pre-clipped 3rd draw because the first two were completely rusty.

Kneebar heaven. Easy to read for onsight, probably soft.

2nd go.

Finally some sends. Felt Hard for the grade.

2nd go. Beautiful.

Felt a lot harder than 7a+. Also more than one grade harder than the route to the right.

4th go, one day. No pre-clip. Took me 3 goes to realise that climbing on the outside of the flake is easier. Almost fell at the top with the slopers, haha. That would have been devestating.

2nd. stupid foot slip while resting during flash

What a journey to arrive here. Never took a train with 4 hour delay due to an emergency, never missed a flight, never got stuck in an elevator. Somehow managed all of that within 24 hours while travelling here. As a result climbing my first route was hard on the head, proving once again that climbing is as much a mental game as a physical.

3rd go. Cool route, did the crux with a cross from a heelhook.

Lohnende Verlängerung.

3rd go. One session. I need to relearn moving on rock.

2nd go. Beautiful.

2nd go. Guidebook says 6c+. Felt a lot harder

Feels good to touch rock again. Edinburgh chapter closed.

5th go.

2nd go

2nd go. Spanning from one jug to the next.

First flash of the grade 😂. Thanks for the beta everyone who was there.

First sport route in Scotland. One-move wonder

3rd go. Double send with Felix. Pretty soft for the grade. Start was the hardest bit, cool top boulder.

Felt really hard for the grade.

Tried it 2 years ago. This time second go. Ceuse keeps humbling

2nd go. Let's hope this is good Ceuse training. Pumpy business.

Climbed it until the carabiners (Not to the chains of Gondor), hence probably quite soft. Beta-Intensive boulder, 4th go this session. Second session in total but could not remember anything from the first session last year.

Nice climb. Finishing old business. To be 100% fair, I started it from the jug (i.e. not the ground but from the ledge 1/2m up.)

2nd go. Very nice route! Really pumpy!

8 goes. Fell at the top 4 times, good training i guess. Good times with cool crews. And congrats Edu on your first 8a. As much as I hate comp-style indoor bouldering it's amazing when you find coordination moves on rock like on this gem.

2nd go. Nice route looks easier than it is.

2nd go. Nice Jump beta

Tried it like 3 years ago. Nice to see progress

2nd go. Guidebook says 8a, but that's probably too generous.

Maybe 8a. Cool Lines, amazing kneebars. What a day, did MG connection the go before.
