Ascents in Octopus' Garden having Beta

super fun 10a...painfull foot jams at the start and super fun roof and offwitdh endind, leadable

most excellent

don't like hand jamming

Really nice crack, hard lead for me, not the easiest protection

funner on top rope

Great line! I really loved the cruisage up the flake at the start.

Another solid lead by Locky. The bulges are fun

Warm-up for the heinous slabbing to come!

Survived the walk up on jelly legs, the climb seemed ok

lots of yellow red and green cams, solid gear

Fantastic splitter crack. With Bec

Bit stiff for a 5.8

Awesome, one tricky move where the crack gets thinner

Lovely hand jams

Not technically hard, but learning to jam is scary

great climb, feels burly

start is a little tricky. use right hand to stem

Worth doing for some enjoyable fist jams.

Ok

If a climb starts with a 5.9 boulder move, is it not a 5.9 climb?? I'm regrading it.

Put up a toprope for this, such a neat climb, but I'd probably never lead it.

Ugh, I don't know if this is an offwidth or simply a fist crack, but I hated it. I also bled all over it. Sooo much harder than the 5.9 next to it. Or maybe I just can't climb.

Climbed in the rain.

extremely fun climb, although beyond my leading ability as the last few moves are very diff to protect

Giving the new shoes a burn. I need a new body though

All over after the start

A #3 size crack, fortunately a slabby one

Fun start

still a bit wet

Great 5.7 with 5.9 bouldery start with super solid gear...early on the season so needs some cleaning in the crack but otherwise amazing hand crack

5.9 start of the ground but with good pro throughout

Some nice OW sections

With Bec

Awesome, cruxy, slightly offwithd

Super hard. Also, if you lead you kind of do a big part on free solo since you can't protect some crucial parts of the route. To finish, you have something like 5.10b slab, long, not protected and non protectable.

Génial

Great sequencing, and definitely beta intensive. Stoked to get it on gear one day!

Awesome route! Fun crack, a fun move over the roof, you can avoid the wide section (offwidth?) If you use footholds at the outer edge of the crack. Maybe it will bey first 5.9 lead?

I think this climb is fun,I was just way to freaked out to appreciate it! Definitely overprotected the main crack 😅

Absolutely stunning climbing. Probably the best slab route I've ever tried. Nice and safe too! Mega proj!

Got on the slab project again. So freakin' rad! Can't wait to get on her for realsies!

One-hang and after having forgotten the entire climb! Such nice features. I'm just stoked to be climbing this thing again!

Gave it a burn today but no joy.

I did better than I expected

2 goes. Worth projecting this one again at some point in the future as I never sent it.
