First proper days back on this line this season and all the moves felt way better than last year. Only fired off one proper attempt at it on Sunday but the knee bar was wet and slipped out, dried off and went to the top... Feels close but you never know 😂

Started this battle long ago... Didnt give it much thought this year until last weekend when I hopped back on and realised it was ready to go... first go today froze... second go ✅ Im not quite sure how the crux stuck as I improvised new beta 😂 the rest was the battle I deserved and I finally got my draws back... Thanks for reading... the video will be up some day soon... The End.

Not really clear what starting holds were used on the original ascent. If you use the crack to the right to start the grade is a lot easier (e.g. V5/6). I have added this as a variant

Dogged the route 3 times today working out the moves, turns out the beta vids are pretty useless for the move before the crux as there is a hold missing. On my final session of the day I worked a low cross into a Gaston pinch then a big move to hit the smile... feels nails but stoked to have made all the movers in the first day.

Second day and 4th go working it and managed to make some foot adjustments and dial the crux move a bit more, high foot for the crux throw worked great but 2 days on this and im wrecked... rest day tomorrow then back at it. managed to work out the best part of the smile finger "jug" and how to clip the draw from it.

Mon 14th Dec 2020
First weekend back on it, new beta worked for the bottom section to the smile which flows but does end in a cut or a bit of an awkward heel. never the less it works and sets me up for the crux without being too gassed. The crux move feels more doable than last year, can make the kick out every time and the drop knee but I need to micro beta the feet... The kick out needs to go about 5cm to the left and ill be ready to send. 70 seconds of climbing to get this thing 😆

first day of working it, comes down to a hard boulder problem then easy climbing up to the roof and a 23/24 through the roof. Bit of a skin destroyer and the traverse in from right to the crux could be better as a direct. More scoping out tomorrow and try to get the boulder move worked out.

Sun 4th Oct 2020
Its all coming together!!! jugged up to the anchors to clean the top, scrubbed for 40 mins and revealed the top out to be a casual 18 hahaha however the crux at the bottom is still where the money is at. Made progress sticking the first move of the crux every time I make it but now need to have skin and power left to release and hit the jug. Should go down like this easy start into V4/5 boulder (clips 4/5) into a V8/9 boulder (to clip 6) into 21 climbing to the roof then a V4/5 boulder getting into and out of the roof, 18 to the top. ooooosh.... coming together and will spend the week training re growing skin read to return on saturday and throw myself at it again.

Took 3 sessions all up. It did not look pretty but happy it went down. Took a lot of effort to work out the sequence through the roof but the dyno move feels great when you stick it. Would be a classic if the top slab wasn't so caked with mud.
