Ascents in Flat Rock having Beta

Loved it!

Awesome!

Hard at the grade

Never again?

Downclimbed the Crux three times, thought it was over cause I was too pumped, but pushed very very hard through for the flash. Such a good feeling.

pretty damn stoked with how i read this one.

Couldn't figure out the crux...

Surprise Flash, cool route!

Laps

Went easily this time, cheers harry for beta

First time today putting the draws in, but I think I’ve tried this in the past so can’t claim the onsight. Amnesia onsight I guess! Bit of leg dangling over that first lil rooflet!

Couldn’t make the bouldery crux at the start - might need to try some different betas

One for next time and cooler temps

Tough, couldn’t quite work out the crux but had the rest sorted. A good one to come back to.

So apparently almost a year off climbing is good for your climbing.

Classic Monty. Powered out but the route is well worth coming back to. Excellent movement

done with on "rest" to test out how one move felt on and injury before comitting ottherwise clean.

Gnarly! Closest thing to a grade 24 at west flank I reckon!!

Crux became more mystified somehow. High gravity day

better than YannChristopher

I’m pretty sure I used to onsight 23’s like 2 weeks ago… 😂

Couldn't figure out the crux

Reachy traverse but fun climb

Really nice traverse across to the big holds. Rest before the pumpy finish

Sooo close to the onsight :,) but a bit of a dry fire off the first crimp on the lip. Ripper climb.

It's a new day to send but unfortunately some bad juju had leaked in from the day before, doing my best to reign it in I jumped onto this nice number and cruised through the lovely slab to the rooflet.

The crux for me was getting to the left crimp requiring some very specific feet and the right amount of dynamism (but not too much!) to latch on the right spot.

I thrashed myself fine tuning the specificities required for my short person beta and was able to latch on 1 out of 8 times making the move.

Why the fuck am I here. You can't do this. You're shit house. You can't climb this. Despite being a low % move, and figuring out the beta. The painful ego saga continues....

Found the crux very hard, spent a long time working out the moves before back jumping with fading skin and energy

Warmup/cleaning. Pretty tricky couple of moves for the grade I reckon.

Really enjoyed this one, nice mini crux over the first ledge, top half is easy with nice views.

Crux is to get over the first roof. Balancy crack section then ladder to the chains.

Fun climb. Should have been an onsight but a misplaced foot had me spun off. Ticked on the second go. The first roof maybe a little reachy if you're under 160cm.

crux hold was too slippery to do the move. had to ask someone to throw me a chalk bag, after that it was solid. chalk was used, so technically aid

felt easier than the hot zone imo

Loved this

Enjoyable bolder moves

Bloody hard crux move. Small crimp and dish shaped hold for hands and poor feet. Heel hook was the apparently the key yet I couldn’t stick it. Not sure what it is with the two 23s I tried this trip cause I couldn’t feee either yet I could free the 24 I tried. Also had a little false start, falling after slipping off a sloper at the first bolt. Turns out it was slightly juggy just to the right.

Need to be fresher to Redpoint it now.

Fixed sling is no longer in place. BYO!

Another winner

Flashed the crux and dropped an easy move coming out of it. Spent too long looking for feet when there was a perfectly good footjam and pumped out. Sun hit the wall and we had wineries to hit so didn’t get a chance to jump back on

Got beat up by the sparce moves between 2 and 3. Good climbing either side of this

Couldn’t do the crux of tiny crimp so stick clipped past it woo

Stoked to tick this after thrashing myself on the one shut down move last time (Deadpoint to left hand crimp for the shorties) Went down cruisey today. Day Flash.
