4 total tries including putting up and taking down draws. no pads. Thanks to Dimitri for the beta

Wanted to try this again! Got all the moves now. Endurance would be an issue!

Tried this at the end of the day. Probably didn't spend enough time to work out how to reach the right pinch from the big left tufa at the start.

The middle tufa bit is super cool. I thought it would be really hard for me because I get so scared of tufas! Also haven't done the top bit getting the left undercling or getting foot up to pull on it. Otherwise seems like i could do all the moves- haha.... Not sure if i like it though. Maybe....

This route deserves a music note, the middle boulder section is pretty cool, but the think the grade is 7c+

A hilti instead of a flying broom, that its a children story i could get behind!

Warm up shot to get the draws on and brush the holds. Remembered all my new beta!

Woohoo! Nearly lost it on my previous high point but this time I wasn’t tired. Went pretty well!

Putting the draws on. It’s so dry! Conditions are good. Got the first crux first try

4 shots just til I fell off. Each time a high point. Re jigged some beta but I may have sabotaged myself by climbing yesterday.

High point. New beta worked a treat but now my dodgy right hand was just too fatigued. Got back on and clean to anchor. 1 rest

Still wet but not dripping like on Friday. Spent ages doing laps on the crux. It’s all training right? Weather is looking crap for yet another week so I’m just trying to stay fit on it. Can do all the moves but some today were just a little harder and greasy.

First shot to put the draws on followed by 2 shots just perfecting the low crux. Interesting day.. everyone who walked past assumed I was on a lower and lower grade. By the end of the day scott and I were joking about my 4c project...

Whaaaa! I got through the first crux! But then failed. Haha. Happy about doing the crux though. 2 rests in total.

But then was too tired to make the crux again.. oh well at least I know I can do the move.

refresher top rope.putting a lot together

transfer move is just a little tricky

getting tired but all moves pretty wired

still working on my fitness but definitely seeing improvements. back is still ok. x3

first real day of climbing...im so unfit! can do all the moves though

second shot realised how really really unfit i really am...for now..
