Ascents as Tick by Tom Reid

I led 1-3, nick led 2-4

Awesome headtorch ascent at 9pm, followed by some ridiculous/awesome bouldering on the summit, including 'mini Lappnor' and 'Alligator' (an even smaller version of 'Crocodile' In Font)

2nd shot. Slam dunk the bowl from the slopes!

3 stars for a reason. Awesome sculpted holds and funky movement with a nice top out.

Rofl. Pinged off the first hold which was weirdly really slippery. Restart all g and great quality. Probably more like v2

Played with beta in walking shoes first so no legit flash

About 5th attempt. Actually really good, loved the movement on this.

Good fun, steep and airy top out!

Slipped off in my new boots first try. Lol

Tricky footwork.

Repeat for fun

Not a 7 for me. Be interesting to know what the original beta was.. Great fun problem though

Fluked some funky beta and topped it unexpectedly.

Fun, balancy, slopey.. It was hard in the hot sun but I think it may be a V4 in good conditions?

was hard today, very hot.. but we got there eventually. did the same mantle as for The Plum, made sense as there were no other holds.

Interested to see what others think.. I've always thought I liked slopers, but could be a touch soft as well? I haven't done any benchmark 7's so I don't know.

This should have a proper name, it's great!

Good for a warm up

in sneakers. great problem.

Great problem, surprised if no one did it before us but still. Good work Cal, solid and powerful 6. Will check the old boys' guide.

Thought this was actually really nice.

Much nicer than the 3 it starts on.

Marion solved this one for me, perfect beta. A jug for topping out has been ripped off, there is still a good hold but it seems crumbly. Be careful topping out as a launch backwards could see you shish-kebabed on the tree branch

Hard for a 1

Did the stand first, then did the sit start second shot.

Missed the flash by the skin of my teeth.. 2nd go. Awesome problem.

Lol.

2nd shot

3rd shot

5 laps.

2nd go. Rad, has that classic Boulder feel.

About 5 shots.. quite tall, rediculously thin, and no chalk. Had to suss out the last moves from the top. Exciting cheese grater avoidance

Feels uber hard until you get den tricks. It's trickyyyy

2nd shot.. Can't take this as my first 7, seems a BIT soft. If you're tall, getting your ass off the ground is the crux, if you're short, I hope you got some hops! Great problem regardless the grade.

E.O.D, in the tennies, with my full pack on. was hilarious, almost cheesegrated from the top in a fit of laughter

warm up

Cool to clean up an old 'dog'.

Rad prob. A touch harder than Metro for me, 2nd attempt

warm ups

down climb

warm up

Repeat. was good to see the boys get up this today! Rad.

down climb

warm up

repeat was much nicer with a spotter, haha.

Onsight pitch 1 for a warm up, first route on Mt Welli. Climbed with OG, completely shrouded in freezing clouds! could not see the belay from the anchor, rope dissapeared into white. Awesome absorbing wall climbing thats never too hard, touch of spice up high and a tricky start. 3 stars love it.

3 shots, Fun.

Better again, 4 shots. No crash pad or spotter today, took a bit to commit to the top out

Sick problem! 2 shots.
