Hard one! SO good

Unbelievably happy. When I first tried this route, it felt IMPOSSIBLE. I knew if I could send it, it would be a big step up for me. Progress came and went, the time was running out, and I lost my patience more than once. Thankfully, endless patience and support from Chris, along with some good evening conditions, and it all came together.

First 13b onsight!

Still figuring out the short person beta.

Seems I’ve found myself a project

This place is hard on the body!!

A good option for the shorter folks

Just managed it fourth go of the day and last go before the snow was coming in. It felt quite hard after a year of bouldering. I think I spent maybe four days on it and had a number of goes somewhere in the mid to high teens. The shot before I sent ended with me not quite catching the clipping jug at the anchors, peeling off backwards, and whipping the entire route having skipped the last bolt. Exciting! I hopped back on soon after because i’d hurt my ankle a bit hitting the wall and didn’t want it to stiffen up. Classic scenes in the park.

The moves are all okay, putting them together will get hard. Climbed on toprope just past the fourth draw with freezing fingers (out of 7 draws + anchor) on my second try.

First try was not great, but I improved my beta a bit. I felt not good on my second try (maybe too much sun or too little water), and the perma draws might have core-shot our rope (we're not quite sure, it might also have been the draws in Magic Light), so I didn't try again today.

Too hard for warm up, then it was too hot. Did a final try in the evening but my skin hurt so much I couldn't even really pull onto the route.

Only climbed until the 5th bolt (a little bit higher). But even until there did not do all the moves really. Seems like it could be nice, but need to get stronger first.
