Ascents in Boulder Cove as Red point

Psyched to get a this in 2 sessions...the headwall is some of the best climbing I've done for sure

Not a bad warmup

good warmup now

Finally clean, second go today

Finally clean, second go today

Broken holds reported previously hasn't seemed to affect the route much, not quite sure what broke exactly (something quite big did break as I was there at the time), but I would not give this 7c because of it. Went second try after figuring out my sequence

Second try ez

Came back for the tick, lovely line

It is ok after you get the right sequence.

6b all the way with one tricky mantle at the top. The classical heartbreaking route...

Meant to be easy for the grade, but he bouldery style didn't suit me at the time. It took me a good few goes Can pretty much be broken down in 2 two halves if you take the good rest at the break

Great route. Meant be hard for the grade, but well worth it

#2go

Very nice. After having done Chulilla, this went down quite quick. I did spend A LOT of time on Storm Warning Variation (Fr8a), which is not listed here, but never ticked it. The Variation takes the first half of Storming Warning (also share with Black Snake Moan and Brean Topping, 8a and 8b respectively). After the break it goes straight back into Chulilla (instead of traversing horizontally). As a consequence you arrive backwards in the crux of Chulilla. Probably makes more sense at the crag...

actually a really good route! pretty engaging wall to start, hard bouldery steepish crux. Best conditions ever at Brean tonight, felt awesomely easy

Damn, this thing brutalised me. Felt easy on the actual send. Hope ya like dropknees - lots of em.

Links Brean Topping, through the two finger pockes of Chulilla, then slap out right to the slopers on Prisoner...and finish up the last two bolts of Prisoner

Done. Quality route. 3 work sessions to suss the moves, then got it first redpoint attempt. Went really really smoothly, didn't have to fight at all. Excellent focus and control, got to the chains before I even realised I had it.

Brilliant climbing! Second shot redpoint after having an excellent and rather long fall off the heel-hook and skin-fucking crimpers. Good to keep my belayer awake! Felt totally solid - awesome long, technical and bouldery sequence - the whole route's a crux!

Awesome! So close to onsighting, but again technique wins out to desperate dynoing. Wicked campus moves through the bulge and crazy foot-swinging crossover move

So close to onsight! Awesome campus moves through the bulge and crazy foot-swinging crossover. First shot redpoint

Damn right!! 3rd shot redpoint, went pretty easy in the end after falling off the last move twice. Great route!

First shot redpoint, cruised it. Nice climbing!! Slipped off onsight after the crux - brain fart!

Really nice route, classic power endurance, steep and pumpy into vertical and technical. Weak redpoint. Couple of nightmare clips up high.

first shot redpoint - weak. nightmare 4th clip makes onsight hard! Really nice climb - steep jug hauling into technical sidepulling

My first 7a!! hooray! fantastic route
