Ascents in Millennium Caves as Red point

Boxed the cruxy reach move on first shot. Second shot. One day I might be strong enough to attempt the big boy version, Jenga made it look awesome!

Finally came back to do the other one. Pretty stready to the knee bar then hard boulder finish, that right pinch is minimal.

Barely made it onto the broken hold with the tick for the right hand and just about pulled through the last crimps. But made it. Hard 23!!

3 shots

2 laps. Fun, though short and cruxy. From the huge amount of chalk trucking right around the crux, its obvious that most people climbing this lately have been avoiding the crimpy crux (understandably, since taking the line of crimps and avoiding the jugs 1.5m right IS contrived). On my first lap to the top I accidentally avoided the crux following the chalk, so had to have another lash at it to climb the boulder properly.

Super surprise sent. My rainy day project. Lloyd had the draws up so I gave it a lash and sent second shot. Pushy stem start to blind underclings, catch a breath then power out the woody problem crux and into the roof jugs. I found a heel and toe pocket that saved my failing arns.

Shit yeah, a wicked route to pull me out of my rut. One of the best routes I climbed this trip!! The pockets and roof flakes climb like a limestone route.

a little devious.,.2nd go.

second shot. is it really 23? maybe for shorter people?

lots of rest on this short sucker, me 1st 23

Great fun, nice moves, but just way to close to the ground on some of the clips. Stupid bolting!!!

Sensational Route!! Squeeked in by the absolute skin of my teeth, soo close to falling off at the anchors.

Fell off with the bolts in front of my nose on the 2nd shot!

Such a cool route, classic bouldery thugging with a punchy finish.

Pretty cruisy, warm up today. Dont know why I ever fell off this. Shoulda tryed the extendion!!!!

Warm up

my first 23 outdoors

2nd attempt
