Ascents of Jake's Problem

Tom of attempts on the first move. Pulled on after first move and sent the rest of the climb easy. Just need to unlock the shouldery Gaston move.

Every other time I've considered trying this over the years I quickly realised it was well out of my league. So am happy to have made quick work of it this time round. High tension shouldery moves get a big 👍 from me.

So keen to get this done on my birthday, quality quality line. the DOMS afterwards were heinous.

So stoked to send this powerful and fun climb!! I was keen to give it a good flash go, but evidently need to learn to balance being thoughtful of technique with some more try-hard factor

It wasn’t very long ago this felt near impossible. Tommy Krauss beta & lots of training has paid off!

Much more of a battle than anticipated. Ended up finding different beta for the second move, more hard smaller moves rather than one big move. Still took two session to link it from the start after thinking it should go any attempt now. Worked for me but certainly stacks up and is up there with other 10's in the area in my opinion.

Finally worked out some beta that works better for me. Did it from one move in, then couldn't link it through to the end anymore. Feels very hard for me personally. Way too many sessions spent on this now over the years, looking forward to getting it done soon.

Put another couple of attempts into Jake's. Very hard for me still but making progress.

Made some good progress today, first session back in years, good fun!

Feels a lot easier now, maybe it is v8 or 9?

Second go, probably V9

Probably V10....

Not much progress, could barely pull on this time

Had another quick play and surprised my self by moving from under the bulge up through into the 'hole'. Makes me psyched that this is doable!

working

Surprisingly can pull on fairly easily and reach the second move statically. Transferring weight over to the right gaston and feet through is silly hard
