Ascents in The First Cave as Tick or First ascent

Warm up

I couldn't stick the gaston move from the ground, although I can do it in isolation consistently. I heard there was a "tall people beta" for the crux, so I gave it a shot and it felt so much easier! And I'm not that tall (1.79m). Instead of doing the gaston, you palm right, bring the left foot in the slot, and reach the jug. The description doesn't say that right hand palm is off, and on the YouTube videos I've watched, everybody uses it for the foot while resting on the jugs.

I still feel like that gaston move is the "soul" of the climb, and I want to come back to it and do it properly. If this is true, then maybe someone should specify it on the description...? The way I did, it felt closer to a 24 then a 26.

All wet starting from the crux up. Just exploring the moves. The section up to the crux feels fine

Lacking fitness made it the worst looking red point ever but managed to get it done in 4 goes

Dooooogged

2nd shot

So much struggle it felt like a joke.

A bit skatey but pretty rad. Found a cheeky knee bar mid way which helps.

Stick clipped my way to victory while working the route !

First outdoor climb
