Ascents as boulder by Kurt Doherty

No clue on how to pull off the ground on this either. After trying this and Figurehead a bunch, I called it quits to save skin.

Struggled to pull of the ground... same deal for Cannon et al

Best of the three that I did. Fun movement through the undercling to the lip.

Good, but a bit awkward having to avoid the obvious blocks at the base.

Short but fun. Rock is coarse.

Working on the start. So hard, but really great movement.

Just playing on reversing the Orient Express section. Pretty sure I've done this from Lazarus instead of Too Soft, but not sure why I wouldn't have logged it. Should really top-out.

Still couldn't work out anything from the jug at the break. Not sure if I'm heading in the right direction "straight out the cave". Reido ended up going right into the finish of In Transit which looked good.

Quite a spooky top out for me.

We started more to the right than shown on the topo. Following the topo seems much harder than V2.

Great climbing, but super hard with the broken hold. Didn't touch the final jug or even try the mantle. Can't imagine it's a 6 anymore.

Great climbing. Took a few goes to get the mantle. Ended up using the side-pull, though it felt like the hard part was over by the time I could reach it. About 7 or 8 goes.

Straight-forward crimp ladder. Felt V1 to me.

A few goes, but only ever managed to get tips to the lip. Stopped trying to save skin.

Great little problem.

Onsight to high ledge, but too dirty to continue. Would have to rap inspect and clean off all the mud and dirt to know where it's meant to go up high.

Trying the full start. Not enjoyable. Too far for me to span straight to the rail. Other options felt nails. Should be logged as a V4 from the rail with the harder start left as optional.

Now called Trans-Siberian Sandbag. Couldn't really work out how to start. Not sure we were even on the correct holds. Whatever we were doing, it felt much harder than V4...

Repeat. First go. That drop down sequence is still so glorious.

Repeat. Had to refresh the sequence to setup for the 180, and my foot position for the knee bar, then sent. Would say it's probably one of the better lines here, especially out of the V4's.

Repeat. Still a fun problem.

Repeat. Warming up. Been a long time since I was last here and it looks like the left hand side pull has broken off and is now a bit worse. Still usable and no change in grade.

Warming up.

More reach dependent than the direct version, but still enjoyable.

Right foot pinged off the crux quite a number of times. Quality techiness.

Super fun.

FFA. Super fun—one of the best problems I did during the festival. Took about 4 attempts to work it out and send.

FFA. Climbed ground up so needs a good clean. Climbs well, but the short hand traverse on the chossy plates at mid-height ruins it—there could be other options besides them, or left by them when they inevitably come off.

Would almost certainly say this is a V1, albeit a one move wonder.

Felt tough for a V0.

About 5 attempts. Crux beta for me was starting with a high left heel hook instead of a lower toe.

Again to demonstrate beta to The Rock crew.

Couldn't pull the crux sloper move—well beyond my contact strength unless we were all missing something.

So classy.

Better shoes made a bit of a difference, but the humidity and recent rain made things challenging. Right foot still would stick long enough.

Warm up. Stiff start for a V0.

Super fun.

Good value.

Really cool. Soft V5 or maybe V4. Starting at Gravel Pit would make it more convincing at V5. [3]

Awesome. Bit of a one move wonder, so felt soft for a V4, but it is very good.

Shame I didn't get this. Had trouble trusting my right foot and committing to the long move. Good value though.

Loved it. Sit start is very dependent on height or the number of mats you can stack...had to start with right hand on lowest chalky gaston and left hand up on undercling. Made for a more powerful start without adding anything to the boulder. Think it's much nicer as a stand-start from the right side-pull and left undercling—would make it a super good V3/4. Regardless, really nice moves once you're established. Again, had trouble with my right shoe slipping off. [5]

Good value for a V2. Right foot slipped on the onsight (it was a recurring theme by this stage). Got it second go. [2]

I'm assuming there's some sneaky beta to make this V4...nails hard.

Not that good with the big block. Felt more like V3, though the top was a bit dicey with poop and sand and spiders. Big difference without the big footer o_O ... Will have to work up to the V6.

Pretty cool. Feet were slippery on the dyno. Again, need to wear my better ones. [3]

Couldn't get the right shoe to stick for the pop. Need to try it with my other pair. [5]

Cool roof made serious by the not-so-great fall potential.

Wicked problem. Dropping down to the shelf flows sooooo nicely. Easier than Orient but just as sexy. Not enough juice to get out of the cave though Should have done this before Pendeltåg!

Worked sections of it. Find the length of some of the moves quite difficult. Really need to work out right heel placements that'll let me extend far enough.

Great boulder. [4]

Warming up. Good fun.

Slimed off the triangle sloper twice. Bummer. Great fun though. [2]

Not too bad. Retreat upwards as they say.

More moves = more fun? Bit more interesting than the Mach 3 mantle, though a little squeezed in.
