Beauty Mountain Thunder Buttress | |||||||
5.9 Hard | ★★★ Super Crack - with Mark Hoggard | 30m | ★★★ Classic | ||||
Wow, this was quite the journey. Takes you through a chimney, cruxy overhang, fairly enjoyable crack, gnarly chicken wing, and steeeeeep finish. Forgot to breathe for the last 5 mins. Mega!
Took so much out of both of us that we packed up and went for a swim in the New lol

5.11d | ★★★ Disturbance — 2 attempts | 21m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Two goes, on lead, then top rope. Very cruxy, major issue getting to first decentpod with the negative 9 cm ape factor my right arm has. Not sure it’s worth further time. Nice line though.

5.10b | ★★ Wham, Bam, Thanks For The Jam | 21m | Average | ||||
Overhanging Fist crack- maybe if you have men hands, more like overhanging offwidth start. Didn’t even like the traverse around the corner or the crack to the top that much which were straightforward compared to start.

5.9 | ★★ Happy Hands | 21m | Average | ||||
I wasn’t a fan. Hard to get out of sentry box type bit. The whole thing felt dirty and slippery.

5.10c | ★ Sixteenth Rung | ★ Good | |||||
Kind of fun. Very pumpy at the top and again kind of surprising for a 10. If I weren't stupid it would have gone clean and I didn't feel like doing it again since it was 'supposed' to be a warmup

Nothing special. If you do it traverse left at the 1st bolt. Going straight up and left is VERY hard and not 11b.

|

5.11c | ★★ Butta | 20m, 5 | ★ Good | ||||
VERY difficult, bouldery opening moves. In my humble opinion the move felt harder than 11 but what do I know. The line is beautiful and climbs fairly well too.

5.12a | ★★ M.E.N.S.A. | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
