Pumpy! Wouldn't want to do this more than once in a day. Must go back for this one as a warmup for Spiderfly projecting.

Sent after burning off Spiderfly.

Got it second go. One of the shorter pitches I’ve done but definitely packs a punch. Pumpy. 11a?

5.10d ~5.11a | ★★ Something Short - with Neha | 8m | ★★ Very Good | Fri 15th Sep 2023 | ||||
11a in the guidebook and Mountain Project. For someone like who is working my wap up to this grade, it definitely felt harder than a 10d. But for people who warm up on this route before getting on Spiderfly (12a), I can see why it might feel like a 10d.
|
||||||||
5.10d | ★★ Something Short — 2 attempts - with Sean Baker | 8m | Fri 22nd Mar 2024 | |||||
3 attempts. First, aided a couple of sections. Second TR sent the route. 3rd lead attempt whipped about 2 moves from the anchor.
|
||||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Spiderfly | 10m | ★★★ Classic | Thu 23rd Jul 2015 | ||||
This climb is a technical test piece for off-vertical finger crack. Probably the hardest crack I've worked yet in Squamish. Late summer project.
|
||||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Spiderfly | 10m | ★★★ Classic | Sat 6th Aug 2016 | ||||
I tried this a year ago with Andrew and it felt way off for both of us. This time I went back with Andrew (who boulders like a madman in that forest) and he went for it ground up, failed, then walked around and rigged the TR. We both gave it to burns each and got it down to one or two hangs. I think this will go for me this season and it will go for Andrew sooner.
|
||||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Spiderfly | 10m | ★★★ Classic | Sat 10th Sep 2016 | ||||
I've been dialing the moves in after work quite a bit this week, also experimenting with solo TR setups for those partnerless days when I'm back in Oz. Burned off on lead today but I am witnessing progress. Shoe rubber seemed to be a limiting factor so I went and bought new kicks for my next attempt.
|
||||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Spiderfly | 10m | ★★★ Classic | Tue 13th Sep 2016 | ||||
Couplea hangs with the new kicks. They did, indeed, make all the difference. I'm close.
|
||||||||
5.12a | ★★★ Spiderfly | 10m | ★★★ Classic | Fri 30th Sep 2016 | ||||
Gave this two good lead burns today. A 2-hang and then a 1-hang, the latter being more of a "hey lets just fall off the 5.10 top out locks after you've pulled the cruxes and shaken out for a bit. I've never fallen off the top till today. Lawwwwl. Anyway, shit happens. Even though the sending is scarce, all the training value I'm getting from repeatedly climbing 5.12 finger cracks is turning me into a machine since a one-hang as far as your body is concerned is basically like finding a mid-route no hands rest. So it's nice to know that I'm getting better!

5.12c | ★★ Digital Dexterity | 15m | Fri 23rd Jun 2017 | |||||
Can confirm this thing is hard. Has less to do with the dexterity of your digits and more to do with recyclability of your rubber. I don't think I can afford to project this one...
