Ascents in Sphinx Rock as Hang dog

managed to get the the third draw on lead, but ended up seconding it to clean. first time upside down, keen to work on it

Hard for 22! Or maybe a combination of my lack of steep technique and strength. Cool moves.

arrrrrgh.... need a forearm

someone needed to clean, i was there. good climb tho

Big reach moves on roof! definitely not what I'm used to climbing, went well after working the beta. Had a hang dog attempt, tried to red point but couldn't manage 4th clip after the sequence. Good workout though!

Cruised up to the lip, fucking heinous mantle, punted off. Finally pulled up on some weird nipple things/mossy slopers like a cat scrambling out of a bath tub. I feel like I missed something cause it was more desperate than “hard”. There’s also no anchors just a single bolt at the top but you’ve basically topped out by then anyway? 🤷‍♀️

nuts and a bolt. Not my greatest day of climbing after a long night out but this route is worth coming back for sober

Didn't like it much

All of my sports climbing fitness has vanished This alpine/trad climbing business is fun but not great for power endurance.

Really nice moves! climbed upto just before the crux and fell off a couple times.

sandbagged and weird. the only way I can explain this grade is if there would have been more holds previously that broke out

warmup

Bit of a play in the warm rain. Wet out past the lip, so just had a few burns on the roof section.

Seems like someone ripped a good hold/ foot in the middle part. Don't know because I've never climbed it before. Boulder moves on holds that look better than they are

Very sustain

I found this horrible..sappy as on the top out!! Probs just not my finest hour..

Fun and pumpy. Need to come back for the send.

One last burn for the road, was feeling great, moved smoothly to the crux with energy to spare and then just completely shut down again. Couldn't even finish it this time was just pumped

Wasted a bit of time through the roof and pumped at crux.

Again to crux, pure stamina issue the moves are easy after a rest

Was a bit cold, flash pump at crux

bucketing wet, slipped off into a tree
