Dialled in the crux on top rope, then went for a lead attempt. Got the crux down now, just need to be efficient on the roof moves

Nice challenging pumpy lead. First bolt clipped. Def hardest from bolts 1-3, but the lingering pump made the rest an ongoing challenge. Top roped it after and it was no easier, lol, I was gassed. I'll have another go with fresh arms though... Still have no idea what the beta in the route description refers to. Just follow the bolts!

The traverse and drop down move was scary but that could just be my short legs 😢 Cool moves through the crux once you work out what to do and then it’s just trying to control the pump easy climbing to the end.

	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
At last, it finally happened. I think I was almost surprised I stuck it and almost dropped the match before kicking out and clipping. Very low percentage move on a lead for me. Stoked to finally link it all up after working it for this long!! Do I love it, do I hate it? Idk but it’s all part of the fun 🤩
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
And again. Perhaps I’m overshooting in anticipation or I’m preemptively releasing so I don’t slide down the rock if I don’t stick it. Not sure what to adjust as I don’t even feel that fatigued after repeating the sequence up to it and sticking the move twice in a row after coming off
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Rinse and repeat. Fell again on the clean burn and stuck it twice after. Need to figure out what’s happening here 🤯
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Up to the dyno and dropped the dyno. Stuck the move twice after then lowered. Feeling super dialled and locked in for the entire sequence up to it at least
	22 Easy	★★ Terra Incognita - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Warm up/setting up TR for the gang. Always climb this a bit different. Always a little more pumped than I’d like
	22	★ Sardine - with Khya Brown, Ben Kaldi, Mitch, Shiran, Luca	Sport 21m, 6	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Watching the gang try this gave me some post send stoke to hop on. Felt reasonable although quite wandery making me wonder if stayed on route. Pumpy but always something good around. Similar to Terra Incognito with pump but a lot more resty
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Im getting quite good at falling before getting the rail at the third bolt now. Surely any burn now this will happen. I always manage to pull back on and top. After falling once at the crux. Need to return in better conditions maybe and shoes ?
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Another burn and another bottle. Just not hitting it quite right. Can one blame their shoes? 👀 Stuck the move and lowered off the third.
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
After watching Vaughan, basically onsight this and the stoke being at an all time high I still managed to bottle the the move. The rest feels dialled though. Thanks for the super soft catch Vaughan!

	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Dan millar, Paul Kinnane, Joanna Lazniewska	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Last burn for the day and bottled the dyno. Got good height and just didn’t quite latch the hold. Went back up and finished the route. Overall stoked with my progress. Any session now it could go
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Dan millar, Paul Kinnane, Joanna Lazniewska	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Messed up my foot beta on the dyno. Quite the exhilarating fall. Dialled the dyno and didn’t top.
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Khya Brown, Dan millar, Paul Kinnane, Joanna Lazniewska	Sport 19m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
First burn of the day. Took a rest after clipping the second. Lined up the dyno and got it first go and continued to the top. Incredibly stoked to get the move and do this in one hang. Stuck the dyno again on lower too. I progressed a lot faster than I thought I would. ELV R training definitely helped my mental for this dyno.
	22 Easy	★★ Terra Incognita - with Khya Brown, Dan millar, Paul Kinnane, Joanna Lazniewska	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Always more pumpy than I think it’s going to be. Just climbed it fast today which was slightly better than last sesh.

I jumped on it last week, felt completely bamboozled at the crux and then got shut down after taking several small but unpleasant falls. I came back for No Mustard today and got it on my first red point attempt. The low traverse is really cool and then you got to pull several hard moves before it gets easy.

	25	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Timothy Tan, Sarah Jessop, Andrew Dolan	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Bruno Alves Buzatto
A year later I come back to this, feeling stronger and more confident. And this time I can't even get to the top — on top rope, again. So I'm here "claiming" my top rope attempt, which apparently leads to 'grade attachment', whatever the fuck that is. Now that I got that out of the way — note to self (and spoiler alert for the onsighters, who shouldn't be here by the way): remember high left foot and drop knee to avoid peeling off in the roof; clip from high crimp, cross hands at the following crimps, drop your left knee properly and go for the furthest left part of the crimp "rail" next. I'm learning, and that's what this log is for, and remember, you chose to read it.

This is quite fun — not as good as Terra like the book suggests. I agree with the stars here at the crag more. But not bad at all, interesting start!

Tricky start which starts the pump that lasts you the whole way. Heaps of decent rests along the way tho.

	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Dan millar	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Last burn and felt pretty dialed going up to the big move near the third bolt. The two finger pocket at the first bolt felt great today and was also mini knee baring the left knee in the undercling.
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Dan millar	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Refined my moves to the second clip okay. Still couldnt get to the third bolt proper without grabbing the draw. Tried a few different methods here but none unlocked it. Dyno almost worked, got the height but felt crazy to latch. Maybe more crimp power?
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm - with Dan millar	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Felt pretty rough doing the moves again. Trying to refine the beta and what works best for me. Crux move up to third bolt was elusive!

	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Could barely make any of the moves this time. Technically took a ground fall on rope stretch after cutting feet and peeling off the holds at the first draw. Wasn’t able to find much rest on the block after the roof. Couldn’t make the big move to the last bolt. This time I did manage the top sequence at least!! The nice holds at the top inspire some confidence
	25 Hard	★★★ The Stench Before the Storm	Sport 19m	★★ Very Good	Ross Paynter
Not sure. Hard moves after hard moves. Managed to get to the last clip via many hang dogs. Very crimpy and pumpy. Could not get through to the good top holds.
	22 Easy	★★ Terra Incognita	Sport 20m	★★★ Classic	Ross Paynter
Terrific route! Gets some pump going still. Holds always where they’re needed!
