Ascents in Horse Paddock Boulders

Quick scouting mission.

Sent it with Matt on my 4th session!

Been trying this on and off for close to two years. It went first try today! Really clamped down on the right hand crimp, and bumped from the lower sloper to the higher sloper.

Had a couple of goes at the start a couple of months ago but couldn't do it. Today I went up it second go, thanks David Cook for your beta video it helped this go down quickly. Lovely day out on the ridge

Warm up

Warm up

The conditions were great, psych was high and I am feeling a bit stronger than last session on this. Definitely an anti style, pockets are not my forte. Great to tick this one, equal hardest boulder. Third session.

long time ago

Cool moves - felt about the same difficulty as Diesel Power to me. Tricky start move and then a very difficult mantle.

Nice moves, maybe a bit soft?

Came back to finish this send! Good climb

Really nice moves - pity about the chipped holds. Always looked at this and thought it looked impossible, but ended up coming up with a pretty decent sequence.

I think I did this the way it's meant, it's so contrived though that I have no idea.

Nice line if you don't mind the gross chipped holds. Good suggestion by Jonny, who spotted the line.

This felt harder than V3 with the beta I used, from fridge did a huge move to sloper at the top but kept bar-door swinging off. Maybe there is a better way! Top out was scary.

Finally got it, using a heel hook instead of going dynamically.

fun moves but not super inspiring.
