Ascents in Rope 28

Those of us with an X and Y chromosome will be familiar with the feeling of having your blood boil. I've been told that this is caused by elevated testosterone coursing through the body, but unable to find release. If you wish to experience this sensation, then attempt this climb.

Try a different hand combination

Maybe swap hands

Perhaps getting a foot up will help - No apparently not

Maybe I'll heel hook, Nup

Stuff it, I'll just haul up with no feet. Maybe not

Belay me tighter!

You've gotta be kidding me!!!!!

That Tom had better not show his face!!!!

Maybe try the foot thingy again. Nope

Massive throw. Nope

Massive throw 2. Hope

Reverse Egyptian with heel hook variant. Nope.

Swear a bit louder. No, still no luck.

I really want to punch someone in the face right now. (x 4)

No, I'm not going to use another coloured hold to get past the first bit. I should be able to start the bloody thing!!! GRRRRRRR!!!

Smear attempt (again)

Bang head against wall. Almost got it!

Look around for something to punch. Nothing handy. Where's Tom?

This is really starting to break me

Heel hook again. Nope

Massive throw again. Nope.

I just wanna cry

I'm not gonna walk away.

Got the start! Only 25 attempts!

Demo for Tom. "This is why I hate you".

Yep, the starts absurd. Will be changing tomorrow.

Sharp holds on the volume are punishing. Can't make it without a foot on the small section of wall to the left for balance.

Great. Lots of crimps to punch through. Onsighted clean but was a push.

Love this climb. Slopey volumes ask for balance more than strength. Fun fun. Kinda wanted to do it again as soon as I finished it.
