Ascents as Send by Ben Jenga

Sweet final problem.

Great gritstone arete slap. Didn’t top as I didn’t want to die while my family was waiting.

Lots of jugs and sand.

Felt pretty hard till I switched to feet first. Did the top out from the big pocket, got scared.

I flashed but I had done the other 6, just as good, perhaps a little easier?

Flashed up to the compression move but got over stretched. Sussed the move and sent next shot. The compression section is supa.

Turns out I cheated this little using the knee bar on go go gadget. Next time.

Love this problem, just a bummer the jug at the end of the traverse is wet at the moment.

Fun pocket Jugs.

Finally dry, a little heady over the bad landing.

FFA. Fun addition to the cave. Easy juggy start then long reach to bad edge, hold the body position, match and move right to the flake jug and continue.

Seek and you shall find, jugs Fun to get a bit higher of the deck.

Warm ups

Some much chalk on this these days, classic

FFA. Paul sussed out the line and together we figured out the beta to get it sent. Fun pockets through an near horizontal roof. The rock is a little suss in spots but the holds feel solid.

Used to be an old project but we used a couple different holds to a logical finish.

FFA. The holds I looked at last time have come good for a sweet roof addition. Big first move then a lot of trust in a pinch and toe hook. Scope for a much harder version next to this.

FFA. Along rad new line that is a harder start to Hopes in Slopes. The big move out left is committing and hard but shoulder boulder fun. Maybe V8?? Who wants to verify?

FFA. I finally brought a ladder down to inspect and clean the holds. Turns out they are better then I thought and a awesome new V5 is revealed. Most of the moves are easier to campus as it climbings along a roof fin..

FFA. Well kind of, started up Nephrectomy and and finished at the jugs of Photocoagulator. Some funky big moves and a pumpy finish.

Just adding a little Jenga fun to the infamous Brown Room. No chalk on most of the holds so I am fairly sure this has never been done. Big span moves on good incut along a roof. Pumpy!!!!

FFA. After I removed the big loose block it was time to send, ground up style. A good stance half way allows you to scrub the holds and commit to the high top out.

FFA. Its a problem yes but not worth the effort.

FFA. A bit of low heel hooking fun but pretty dirty at the moment.

FFA. A great hanging arete on the edge of the garden.

FFA. A cool little wall problem.

FFA. Just part of the sending frenzy. I would be interested to see anyone short try this problem.

Every crag needs a dyno. Going to be hard for the shortie, you just got to commit.

FFA. Nice arvo session send, in work boots

So nice, just like climbing in the bluies

A great tall problem

FFA. Two moves and it's over, good fun.

Wide moves with a commiting finish. Nice and close to camp.
