Ascents in Butchers Boulder

my first Gariwerd v10!!!!!!

Cool

Did and worked all the moves in first session, too bad it was mega hot. Definitely a dream line

Pretty fun technical climb with big but interesting moves

Finally figured out the first half after a few previous absolute floggings. Surprisingly techy for a brutal thug fest. Keen to spend some time on this.

I love kneebar + jugs

Made the gods hear me today.

Warmed up on a couple moves through the boulder, foot slipped just before high point on first red point, sent second go of the day and it felt a little like a formality but still very nice to get my first 10 and on such a cool climb ☺️

Warmed up on the second half of the climb and got more comfortable on it. Made a link from just after the big move to topping out. Moved on to a few red point attempts with 2 pads meaning I was protecting the top section with a woolen jumper... Fell twice coming in with the right hand undercling just before the kneebar. Will hopefully send with spotters and pads next time, happy with the progress.

Night sesh, had 3 red point goes only the first managing the crux, thanks to Stanislav Likane walking in after having his own mega day of climbing. Felt suprisingly warm but the holds are all big enough that friction doesn't seem too important.

Worked out/recalled all the moves. Then proceeded to link from the start to after the big throw twice and from the catch on the big throw into the kneebar once. Tried the top and managed to sprain my ankles jumping off and then on my last attempt fell at the crux and heel kicked an unpadded rock and decided enough was enough. Happy with the progress, hopefully one or two more times out to it and it'll be done.

super happy with this one, went a lot easier than i expected. glad my arms grew so i could reach the crux the longer way.

Absolutely Beautiful

Ground-up is good style but might need a portaledge to make progress through the dyno. Not sure where the placements are given the paucity of crack. Big bro perhaps? Must admit, I saw some inspired moves from Jake and Yann

Touched this a few years back when I was just a wee plastic puller. Randomly got psyched in the last few weeks for it and made it happen tonight wooo.

Figured out beta for most of the first half. To be continued...

longest standing project i've ever had. I think halls gap heard my victory scream

My blood and skin sacrifice was finally sufficient to appease the butcher. Have wanted to climb this one ever since I saw it, but never really believed I'd get there before the looming bans. Stoked.

Tore 3 flappers on my 2nd redpoint burn, but dialled the second half and have now worked out tape beta. Feels very doable, but whether that means 1 or 10 sessions, who knows.

Small session to sort beta. Came away with it in 3 parts, but only gave it 2 burns from the start and got through the big move + tensiony toe hook with ease (what I thought would be crux). Spent most of the session dialling the second half (mostly finding that bloody knee bar) and am psyched to start giving it RP burns.

Got here 8hrs into the session, but was surprised to feel pretty good on the moves. Big move now goes almost statically and i am left wondering why i couldn't do it last time. Dialled top out too. Ready to start refining beta and going for send burns.

Stuck the first move

On a brooding evening... pretty fkn rad

Not sure i'll be back for this one in hurry. Pretty grunty

Short session on it, but apparently long enough to tear up my hands. Managed all the moves to the knee bar except the big crux throw in the middle.
