Ascents of The Fat Man Traverse as Send

Couldn't have asked for better conditions tonight. Felt calm and satisfied even before arriving in the forest. This was only amplified during attempts and after the send. Strange how easy it all seemed, and how relaxed the process feels when you disentangle yourself from an outcome-based mindset.

I tried the start move of this on my first ever outdoor bouldering trip and immediately thought "crap that's hard!" and "I'm going to climb it one day". Three years later and it's come true. Thanks Lena for coming out to the forest with me again. Totally rate post-send picnic in the cave. Glad I brought the blanket and cake.

So stoked to get all the way through this absolute banger 🎊🎉🎊 Thanks for the spot and psyche lads!

Finally

A good variation of nice moves!

What an absolute mission. Third shot of the day but got very close on the first shot but had an absolutely heartbreaking fall.

Full disclosure I started with the lower footer on unleash the dancer and went down to jugs at the start of smoke and mirrors before the top out. I'm looking forwards to coming back and trying some different beta too. Definitely still feels like the hardest problem I've ever done. It's certainly the problem that's taken me the longest. Thanks heaps to everyone who's worked this problem with me but especially Alex Mougenot Liam Sutcliffe Alexander Jones Josh notlongnotstrong you guys are deadset legends.

Felt amazing, after falling off the last move for a session came back fresh and went second go. The boulder has finaly come full circle. So Psyched

Always good.

The golden go, everything went exceptionally well.

2nd shot! Didn't feel too hard this time. Stoked.

Manged to find a spot at the end to chalk up whoch made finishing alot easier.

Starting in the underlings and going the whole way round.

MEGA AWSUM
