Ascents in Halfcar

Power endurance beast. Many good attempts but always ran out of juice at the very end. Hopefully next session now that the beta is dialed. Damp holds not helping.

Deceptively tricky. Maybe just too tired. Should go fine next session when fresh.

One go to rehearse the second half then got it first try from the ground. Infinitely easier with fresh arms and skin. Dryer holds today too.

Harder than the normal finish but not quite as hard as 'Drop the Clutch' proper. One of several obvious link-ups in this part of the cave.

Lots of fun moves, including a heel-toe cam to traverse left on the crimps. Quite a bit harder than the original V4 start. Another obvious link-up in this part of the cave.

Stopped at the Roland jugs, didn’t top out.

Unsend. High gravity day.

Sit start

Down climb.

This is certainly as good as bouldering gets in the Port Hills!

Jolly good moves!

A bit contrived given that it doesn’t top out, but holding the cut loose moves at the end feels heroic.

A bit awkward and sharp.

Fun traverse.

A bit brutal!
