|

Fri 29th Apr 2022 - Bear Rock | |||||||
5.10 | ★★ Rainbows and Unicorns - with Michael Wong | 11m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Had to work out the beta for the crux right before the third clip (on the swinging second bolt). Followed by a gratifying jug and rest to reward you for your footwork, and then careful pulls up into the bones.
|
|||||||
5.7 | Symbiotic Seven - with Michael Wong | 15m | |||||
A little scary going over the lip for a warmup, but overall nice primer for the sharp and irregular rock at Bear Rock.

South Buttress Ball Field Slabs | |||||||
5.11a 5.10a | 30 Seconds To All Night - with Michael Wong | 30m | Average | ||||
Some crazy crux at the second bolt I seriously do not understand. Had to hack my way up with tension. Michael can confirm.
|
|||||||
5.9 | ★ Nickel And Dime - with Michael Wong | ★ Good | |||||
Some real sketchy feet at an early crux - had to rest before getting it clean the second go. The remaining is a cruise, though. Altogether probably wasn't worth the sketchy scramble up for me.

5.10c 5.10c/d | The People's Rock | 17m | |||||
Really fun stuff, although in my opinion climbs easier than Cloud Surfing.
|
|||||||
5.11b 5.11b/c | Slightly Removed | 30m | |||||
Great climbing up to the crux with plenty of roofs and jams, mistakenly thought it was a crazy slab up the two crimps and failed the onsight.

South Buttress Old Quarry Walls | |||||||
5.10c 5.10b/c | Cloud Surfing | 17m | |||||
First part is some fun face climbing with good holds and tricky balancing - last section is a bit of beta testing but incredibly satisfying to stick. Took three tries, but working back up to higher grades!
|
|||||||
5.9 | ★ Crackrock Corner | 24m | ★ Good | ||||
Cleaned it this time - still wet, but my shoes found a way.

South Buttress Old Quarry Walls | |||||||
5.9 | ★ Tax Evasion Haven | 24m | ★ Good | ||||
Toproped dogged before an emboldened attempt - cleaned it the second try. Feels like it would be real tough without any height.
|
|||||||
5.9 | ★ Crackrock Corner | 24m | ★ Good | ||||
Had to lead up to setup anchor, but suffered hard. Climbing to the first bolt took a bit of trust, afterwards it's all about trusting the feet.

Really nice upper section, but the offwidth/chimney section in the first half was pretty dirty and unpleasant.

5.12 | Psycho Jap | ||||||
I like the name 'Psycho Javelin' more. Hard for me, 3rd try send. Did the right exit, pretty desperate slapping slopers. But the crux for me is low moving off the half moon hold with the high right foot.

2.5 sessions, ~9 tries, all in terrible conditions in muggy July. Still, I really started liking this rock and climb. I thought this was hard, harder than the 12b's I've done. So I stick to 12c = 7b+
