Ascents as boulder by Brendan Heywood

From stand start, cool finish

At first sight though this would be more of a puzzle but was surprisingly easy, the rock is really interesting fracture pattern like shattered honey comb

Had a few goes, was really great to see this get sent as I've never understood how it went. Ape and good footwork needed

Crimpy campus fun

Super happy to send this dyno first go

Had a few goes and not really feeling the jams. The cups naturally worked again for me, and on the last go got a pretty deep arm bar past the bottle neck and only a couple inches off the glory hold. Kinda kicking myself I didn't give it more

It no longer has a tree. Easily the best line on this face, the start is cool

It was dark and I thought I was already done but the psyche was high and the single shared headlight kept us going. I mostly did the very torquey crux moves through the roof a few times and fell off chopping the hand jam in on the right. Somewhat contrived but a really awesome cave roof problem.

Aarrh this thing is so good! Got onto the top arete a few times and it just teases you and demands millimetre precision and balance. After about the 3 'one more time' Benji sent it in perfect style and history has been made. We built up a much better log base this time, with 5 pads

A pulled on a few times on the higher holds, and almost caught the top dynamically. I can barely even hold the lower start holds. But enough to make me want to come back and work this again.

Fun and meaty

This scrubbed up into a fantastic gem of a problem. Another rare problem with lots of moves and at an easy grade. If it wasn't for the gaping water hole to the left there would be at least 2 more great problems here

Slopey campus

Seems to stump all of us, then found a higher side pull which unlocked it

Did the more direct version, grab the good pinch with right instead of left, then bump out to jug on right and then chin up as you swing to avoid the dreaded bum dab

In mid feb there was a flood event and Evan's stone is now buried in debris, even worse than last time I cleared it out. There is a tree spanning the mini canyon.

A few goes on this, got to the gravelly sloper a few times, and couldn't quite commit to the rock onto the rail.

Been eyeing this off for a while and it turned out to be quite good and fairly easy. A rare easy, long, varied and high quality problem.

Did a lap in my sneakers. Pumpy! Happy after it shut me down a few weeks ago

Only had a couple shots got to second last hold. I seem to be developing a habit of trying things without pads or spotters. This line easily goes up maybe 8m and could conceivably link into the route project route above to the right

Took 2 shots, a surprisingly nice problem, very castle hill-esque

1 move wonder with a challenging jam

Ben did this a much more difficult way, sketchy moves over the water. I just pulled on then pounced for the top.

Did this and also a harder problem up the face just right of it

Through the mantle I felt the slight twinge in my right shoulder still from a week or so ago at the wall

onsight of first half, over mud with no pad, up to the start of Kitchen Bitch

And just to top things off I onsighted this as a warmdown, nice end to session.

Warm up for Bellerive

Warm up for Bellerive

The moves on this are actually ok, it just looks quite dirty in places. I had done this before 12 years ago

Took me 2 or 3 goes to figure out what I wanted to use, quite nice

Fun dyno, exciting top out

After first couple goes thought this would be super hard, but unlocked it 3rd go

Finally sent! One fumbled misstart, but then clean all the way second time. Amazing what is possible when fresh

Wicked! Did some cleaning and scrubbed up three awesome slopers extending this to a sweet jug. Makes for a sweet finish. Did a few laps, including an ultra static lap. Dialed

Came back with Ben and we both did it from the sit start

Another lap of this classic. First go from the proper low bum start so pretty happy

Got it second go from stand start

Another lap, also did it again first go

This looks rad but the feet are glassy. If you can get on I think the rest would be much easier.

This thing is great but hard

Scrunched layback start then cruisy
