Ascents by z_swander

Got on this after Lewy tossed on the draws. 2 shots, and almost sent it. Pumpy with a V2 move (crux) in the middle and then some sloper action up high. Like a 22-23 at South Central .

3 laps because most of the crag was flowing water. Getting well into the extension now. Finally learning to rest upside down and control the heart rate.

First shot today, executed the crux statically. That move is way harder than Swinging in the Rain, and with a pumpier headwall before hand. I don't like raising grades, but that is the conclusion drawn by a few of today's ascensionists.

Got on this little ditty because the line up for Binary Neil was too deep. Loved the lower half, balance and pump. I did all the moves on the first go, but couldn't repeat the crux on the following redpoint...super reachy to get to the pocket, but it's easy peasy from there. Did get an inverted double kneebar rest in the choss scoop, so boss.

My god there is some desperate reaching through the crux. This cool down route was the biggest battle all day. Best slab route on the wall.

A great line, slightly tainted by some choss through the middle, but the location doesn't get much better. Second shot today.

Warm up. Doesn't get much better at the grade.

2 burns. Got it down to one sit, with repeatable beta. That crux is tough even from a sit.

Went easily on the second shot. Well earned after a face full of semi-dry bird poo in the roof.

I feel bad for putting a newbie on this in the rain. Might be good as part of the 24.

Received the sacred beta handed down through the ages. Very sustained, but also so very close to success for me.

Great with a bit of crack lowering the quality through the middle. It helps to have big muscle strength with strong fingers for the shallow pockets.

Worked my butt off for this. Just had to tweak my beta at the high crux, sendage.

Should have got this yesterday, stuck the crux throw then stuffed up the feet. Easy for a SC 23, just got to get back here soon.

Did this back in 12/14.

Watching someone do the first move will not guarantee a send...v7 boulder to start.

Tough nut and reachy. Did all the moves, but was too spent to give a second shot.

So very overrated.

Up and down in one go. Jugs everywhere.

First shot today, second overall, stoked. Bomber rock, and nice bouldering moves between great rests. Thanks for hanging the draws Luigi!

Sharp and has that surprise choss vibe so prevalent on this part of the wall.

Would be even better with a direct finish.

Yeah, those moves were rad. Fell up high by mixing up my sequence. 2nd shot

So many jugs to choose from, and then a great top sequence.

Love that first move off the deck.

1 lash, and the crux is not where I thought it would be. Sorted after a quick hang, this will definitely get sent next visit.

I got mauled. Day 1 getting back on the steep stuff. Easy moves, there are just a helluva lot of em.

Up and down early funk to warm up and sussing trad placements. Perfect conditions today.

Unreal holds on this side of the wall.

Got all the moves, but didn't have the juice to link it.

An easy thug climb for sissy. Traversed into bill smith, and down climbed.

Couldn't hold the finish jug.

The beginning moves are great. Unstylish finish to my send.

Should not have gotten on this in full sun and with the heat. Very average roof climbing. Couldn't be bothered to go again.

Fantastic. Stuffed the high undercling crux on the onsite. Second go, no worries.

Great route. Harder slab to start and then an easier (than hot flyer) crux, but very techy (my fail). Second shot.

Second Shot, might be a bit squishy if you have good power.

The sloper pinch was the bane of my existence in the heat. Very delicate and balance oriented, worth coming back to when it gets frosty.

Fell at the roof using silly footwork, then straight to the top. Second Shot ticked, and a great way to end the extended weekend.

Placed a .75 cam above the ledge, just to say I have done every conceivable type of climb in the past week.

Better than Bandoline Grip.

Done hanging the draws

The trigga nigga of the blueys. Power endurance shut me down for the crux. 5th day on in 6th.

Felt tough with well spaced bolts

Loved it, very thin.

Johnny Dawes start for the win!

The whole third bolt decking mandate is so 80s.

Every crux here is getting up to the first bolt. Freaking runout after you pray the flake won't snap.

Best climb of the day. Sequencey start.

Sharp

Started far left for a longer warm up.
