amnesia flash...

cleaning duty, hopefully I can get out there again to do it soon

Tried really hard on the red point attempt, mostly couldnt remember the route, almost sent it... Got it next try with the draws on.

Not too bad when I know what to do, I used the tree a fair bit.

Very scared again putting it up on lead, easy send on top rope.

Set this up first half way to do some fall practice, The roots were not feeling very solid this time... So climbed without touching the roots from the ground

This route scared the hell out of me, feel lile a lot of the route you can fall and hit the tree behind you, which got in my head, and then I was worrying about the slinga and rusty bolts... Pretty cool moves and route overall though.

First time got extremely close to the rest like before and took a pretty big fall. Took a good rest and tweaked my beta slightly to try and save energy and got it done! :-D

Grade is probably right, felt harder than all the 7bs I have done at cantabaco.

Two proper attempts both times falling around the 7th bolt, worked that section a bit to try and make it more efficient for next time.

Worked it a bit and setup a toprope on lead, got it clean next try on top rope

Struggled a fair bit, very close to coming off at a couple of spots.

Did all the moves today, and managed to link from the start to draw 3 and almost grab the sidepull in the crux.

Second try today, needed to figure out beta a bit for the traverse joining cinnamon pwet.

Awesome route, with cool moves, just a bit sketchy if you fall near the start.

Also seems someone stole the first quickdraw on the route

Setup toprope

Setup toprope

Start of a new project, went bolt to bolt, putting draws on, struggled a lot and skipped one move in the crux. Started feeling dizzy after and worked the bottom on top rope for a bit, linked start to first tufa at first bolt.

Setup toprope

Cleaning

Cool climbing but scary above the tufa!

Setup toprope

Went up on top rope first, then sent it second try, went a bit far right to get through the crux. Apparently its possible direct... Feels closer to 6b+ going the nondirect way.

Found this pumpy, and a bit difficult to get to the first bolt.

Learned about one of the holds I missed... not so hard if you don't miss anything...

Nice route, using tufa features, figuring out how to clip the anchor was the crux for me.

Fun little extra, getting to the first bolt was a bit tricky.

Felt difficult right off the ground, for the first couple of bolts. But maybe I was just scared...

I really liked this one, cool climbing and a nice view at the anchor.

Second try, first attempt an orb weaver spider landed on me, and nearly climbed up into my shorts...

Attempt as part of the onsight comp, failed going dynamic to a hold that did not exist

The more you stay on the face the harder it is, but you can go out to the side and skip a lot of the harder climbing.

Some rock broke on me at the start making my hand go flying, didn't fall though, the top of the route is dirty and looks fragile.

Kinda uncomfortable and sharp route.

Looked at the start crux sequence before attempting it.

Nice fun route with a nice flowing sequence. Probably easier if you are taller.

Has a kinda cool dynamic move in the middle of the route, but it is easier to go around.

Climbed this and then continued left on the next pitch up to the ledge, with two following

Climbed this to setup flanex, didnt end up doing it

Setup toprope/get the draws

Nice route, I feel like if you climb cinnamon pwet you might as well do the extension as well. Pretty cool moves up there, just not as interesting as the moves earlier.

This didnt really feel any harder than the other 7b climbs I've done here, other locals say it should be 7b and the book has it at 5.12a (7a+), so I will change it to 7b.

Got it clean on top rope after leading it today, figured out a little better beta for the extension

Made good progress today, new high point on top rope, one draw past cinnamon pwet.

Struggled my way up this today, think I had an easier time on my onsight years ago... Fun route

Giving it a try, not too hard at the top, just gonna have to really dial in cinnamon pwet...

Climbed the first two pitches, my second didnt want to continue after the first, so I went up one more than back down.

Seemed like a nice climb, had a fair bit of smog and it was pretty hot directly in the sun.

Missed the ferry so just went here. Cool route found it pretty scary up on the slab.
