Ascents of Phoenix

The boulder problem start seems to be well above the grade (unless you are tall), and if you can't crack climb/jam it's also much harder than most people would expect from a grade 12! still we keep talking about it. My hands are torn up from fist jams and side pulling in the sharp granite.

Chossy start through shrubbery leads to a few decent but desperate moves up the flaring crack. Exciting last few moves past where crack finishes, belly flop onto a sandy ledge with relief, watching out for the jumping jacks that share the ledge.
