Ascents of De La Soul having Beta

The saga ends.... Felt so easy today. Classic BOULDERY moves.

3rd shot- one year after trying it. Fell off on the last move on the second shot! Soft touch

Was originally graded 25, but I thing it may have lost a hold while ago after I went back for a recent ascent.

A proper nights sleep makes a huge difference to power endurance.

great route! technical but really suit my style

Bouldery! came back for this one years after first trying it. finished it and then fell off on the crux of velvet underground trying to find some endurance for state titles...

Actually felt pretty comfortable with the right beta.

Second shot. Good, somewhat sharp.

4 sessions All moves in 1st Backwards on 2nd (didn't top) Popped off after clipping last draw on 3rd Sent 4th

Crushed it! Such a fun, powerful route, and such a good day out with Nathan ticking velvet as well!

Fantastic movements, so good

3 sessions over 3 years. Good to get this done. Might be my fastest accent in 2mins flat without chalking haha.

Would be classic if it were longer and didn’t have those wobbly holds

Re ticked trying goldmine

second shot clean - great short bouldery problem

Awesome! 4th shot one day.

snatchy and niiice

Not the most beautiful looking climb but climbs really well! A large boulder 😆

Just missed the onsight by about 24 years. Looks a bit average, is actually power-enduro gold.

Date approximate... couldn't get it the trip before then warmed up putting the draws on and got it next shot.

With Siggy, Seb and Logan.

i learned how to stick clip on this climb. was too tired

...and i have a project. felt pretty easy really

16/11/04: Couple more goes, still too hard!. 08/03:Can do all the moves, with 2 rests, on second shot. wicked route, cool moves, oh, and hard.

one fall. Great snatchy climbing

Grabbed last hold too high, boo hoo hoo. Very bouldery from 2nd to 4th draw.

phil's nemisis route, i made a dog's breakfast of this one. most of the moves are bouldery and a little thin. good thing you can stick clip the first 3 bolts!!

needed more time

just needed more time.

16/11/04 couldn't pull the crux so didn't bother with the rest, SOO HARD. Perhaps one day in my fantasy. what was I thinking => 1/10/04 Again with a bit of training shouldn't be too hard.

Punchy short climb! Have to come back when fitter.

I finally got here Matt.. I though yeah doesn't look that hard, all jugs at the top and only short..... Then bam I pulled on, moves aren't that hard but the complete lack of worthwhile feet makes this route super powerful and sustained. 3 shots no dice, a boulders route for sure, the top holds aren't jugs

Much harder than it first looks. Obviously been bouldering too long as I couldn't keep doing the powerful moves required through the crux section (also helps if you have skin on your finger pads i guess). Next time.

It's been years since I have looked this beast in the eyes. Yeah, not much better an attempt. Another falling up affair.

Hard start! Fell my way up it again..

1 rest! Got the pocket static for once!

2-3 rests. Burning out.

Got the pocket on first attempt.

Got the pocket on first attempt.

close

3 falls, still a beast of a climb!

No better.. Got spanked and licking my wounds..

4 attempts today and no dice, came off going for the final jug hold on one burn. Not a hard wall to go back to, dripping with awesome lines

It's not getting any easier :-(

Still can’t figure this one
