Tue 3rd Dec 2019
Totally outrageous and completely brilliant for the grade. I was just warmed up enough that this route was a tenable objective, as the temperatures were truly suboptimal for any kind of climbing, but I’m so glad I jumped on. Pumpy all the way to the end and I just scraped through!

Just bungled the flash when I missed a hold, pulled back on and straight to the top. Very unfortunate. Probably soft for the grade but fun nonetheless.

My total anti-style so it was cool to manage to top this one at the end of the day. First onsight at the grade but I think it’s probably a bit squishy. Stupidly outrageous jugs through the roof forever, so so much fun. I love rock climbing.

Brilliant face climb in my style but probably more like low end 12c regardless. I had one go to equip it, then had a false start on the bottom boulder, came down and rested for 10 minutes then sent it packing. Stoked!

Three goes in the worstest most arctic-est weather ever. The forecasted max temp for the day was -1 and that wasn’t until 3pm. Radical radical route but no real hopes of a send in such horrendous temperatures. I did get the beta down pat though.

 
5.12c Orange Juice - with Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 29m Red River Gorge Classic
Will Vidler
Thu 19th Dec 2019
Possibly the most unexpected send I have ever had. Another completely arctic day and my first lap was an absolute debacle. Such it was that when I tied in on my second go with the first three bolts clipped to practice the opening boulder sequence, I was very surprised to somehow find myself flash pumped out of my brains and with no feeling left in either of my hands at the rest jug below the crux. Gradually, whilst hanging on this jug, some feeling came back into my hands and my arms de-pumped entirely and I floated to the top like it was a 5.7 hand crack as massive chunks of ice fell off the route and smashed all around me. Surreal. Face climbing is the freaking best. Not a perfect ascent because of the pre-clipped draws at the start but I feel comfortable claiming it. Two goes today with one very poor attempt to half height on my first day.

 
5.11b Prime Directive - with Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 29m, 11 Red River Gorge Classic

Thu 19th Dec 2019
I was a bit done with the cold and various anxieties about my trip so I had a very poor effort on this. Onsighted to the end but didn’t do the crux and couldn’t be bothered working it out. Felt kinda sandbagged. Amazing climbing though!

 
5.12d Jesus Wept - with Paul Frothy Thomson Sport 29m, 11 Red River Gorge Mega Classic
Will Vidler
Fri 20th Dec 2019
Perfect finish to the trip with a team send of this route! Just absolute class and absolute fun, it doesn’t get much better! Stoked beyond belief. I warmed up on it then bungled a move on my first red point go today, but it went fairly easily after that and I felt gloriously solid on the tricky crux up high. I probably owe this ascent to the weather gods for finally bringing some manageable temperatures! Third shot today plus one exploratory lap the other week and three hopeless goes on the freezing day of death. Now on to Vegas and J-Tree!!

Some consider it to be 10a to the top set of anchors - all I know is it is one amazing incredibly fun climb - and make sure you don't just finish at the bottom set of anchors, the 'in your face' headwall and handcrack to the top set of anchors are as classic as the lower section, and a perfect way to finish the climb.
