Wooo! Sent on the 2nd go!

SoC - I Ran (So Far Away) by A Fock Of Seagulls

Really good climb, fumbled at the crux on my first go and had a fall. Still good because the top is not easy either.

Decent flash till just below whar Sasha said was crux 1. Would be hard to control the pump from there to the top. Some really nice sequences.

Still so good. Low crux felt easier. High crux felt harder. Start roof boulder felt the same (nails 😅)

Very enjoyable climbing.

Very fun rock climb! Squeeze the right lock off hard.

End of day burn because why not try for the onsight-ish. Fun route

Got right up to the undercling, despite getting lost and burning juice in a few place. Was too pumped to recover on the jugs and punted.

After falling twice at the underling on my previous session I did it as my warmup. Fun boulder into a good rest then two tricky sections to the chains. Needs some omph if you are short.

Mega line, able to pull every move. Hopefully can link most of it next time around.

Nothing is dry in the misty rain. Every attempt is worse than the last.

Bolt to bolt first go then managed to link to my crux (going to the slot), yet to actually do that move but then rest seems manageable.

nearly got the one shot but hesitated with everything being chalked after the first crux

Banger! Thanks Will Gregson and Tom for spraying me down.

Toehook prevented me to go through the crux. Keen to get back on this fresh

Expected a bolt to bolt dog but grit the teeth and just dropped the onsight at the end of the 2nd crux. Added to the blueys groceries list for next expedition

Two doggy laps. Still pumped. Is there any rest on this thing?

The individual moves felt easier than previous, but my endurance is still lacking. Burly moves to start to endurance climbing above with only a couple of rests.

First boulder is sick, had no desire to try the head wall so bailed

3rd session and second go of the day after hanging the draws. Nice to get this one done and with a bit of R foot beta the crux became surprising doable. Then it is just managing the pump. Feels solid for the grade and definitely worthwhile.

Thank you who ever let us use their draws! Awesome line, didn't get the move for the low crux but everything else went ok one to put some time into!

Went putting draws on after trying around 6 months ago. Super climb.

Nearly got the OS, no worries second go

Love this climb The upper part is so good.

5th go.

First bolt to bolt made it feel unlikely but managed to keep it together through the Redpoint crux! Super psyched to finally come back and get it done!

Got the start dialled finally. All about where the feet are.

Blew onsight not going to slot out of crux. Second shot to same point. Nothing crazy hard, very pumpy

Reverse progress, struggled a lot on the start boulder today and felt weak up higher. Feels good to blame the humidity

It all came flooding back to me.

Done in one sit, stoked to keep trying this route.

End of the day look. Really enjoyable and tricky climbing, requiring consideration into lots of the sequences and the order of using holds and such to really conserve your energy. Lots of fun to work through the moves and try the different sequences from the first crux onwards.

Surprised myself with a tick. Managed to climb quicker than my typical snails pace to prevent myself getting crazy pumped.

Putting the draws up. Managed to get to the slot from the ground, then spent a while figuring out the higher moves again. Most of the rests didn't feel particularly restful.

great climbing, but this made me realise how unfit I have become for route climbing

Nae bother on the unexpectedly successful warm up. Covid vaccine power strikes again!

Couple burns, 2 sits and a highpoint at the slot on my best attempt. Need more muscle, less fat and more psaaat. Pretty stellar.

Glad to be able to try this one again. still couldn't do that first crux bit. Its probably too pumpy for me to try and link it
