Ascents of Tuscan Raider

Back on the old proj, feeling appropriately weak after time off

Feel stronger then last time on it just need to link the big kick out right and moving off the rail

First attempt fell going to the gaston crimp, second attempt felt the same but managed to hold on. Sick climb with 3d moves.

Getting reacquainted with the moves

Good little climb to start the day!

Finally went back and sent the top out.

Just messing around, pulling on stuff that's hard.

Nice to pull on and try some moves but I will definitely need to grow some cajones and hopefully a spare ACL to ever try the top out

Linked once from ground to right hand on the crux rail. Harsh on the skin but I predict I'll be putting a lot of time into this thing in future.

the Tuscan has been Raided! pure Joy at the top of this baby! second shot of the day, was super happy to be first in the send train with Sei and Rob following close behind me! thanks to everyone who has help in this 5 week long process of projecting!! its been a blast.

One attempt to reacquaint the moves and try the toe hook.

Second attempt was just from the rail toehook move to top out just so I knew what the heck I was doing.

Third was the send, cheers Sam for that cheeky top out beta!

Got about a third of the moves, opening the account???

Heaps of shots from ground today, pumping through crux really well, held the left gaston but foot came off again. from the undercling got the gaston move then topped out. literally could go any attempt!

out of my current league but fun to work lower section

Hard!! I guess that shouldn't be a surprise though hahaha Managed all the moves up to the rail, but couldn't do the matching and definitely not strong enough to link all of it. Maybe one day 😁

Pumped off with one hand over the lip on the first shot. Rested properly for the second go and was duly rewarded.

Progress, next couple of sessions are on

Turns out I needed more work on my beta for the next move after the toe hook to two hand match. Kept cutting the right leg going for the left side pull from the two and sloper match. I did match the sloper with the toe hook nearly everytime. got Brosnan Degenaar to powerspot me to the next move so I could see how the cut felt and I topped out again super smooth this time. Congratulations to Clayton S for sending and pushing past the mental blocks, was epic to watch!

Resend for the vid

Redemption after breaking an ankle previous session on . Moves felt good and consistent, hard part was mentally committing to top out. Knowing where the slot hold was this time made a huge difference.

Early morning session fully expecting not to climb but was very happy to see over night the rain hadn't fallen on Tatooine. Had a wonderful day climbing on dry rock and projecting this beast again. Climbed these aren't the Jugs and topped out Tuscan got the head game down now! and got the toe hook and match on sloper for the first time! Over the moon, defiantly a send next time! 19 pads made it feel safe too

Stoked to string a couple of moves together after some stella beta tips

It rained while we were there, so obviously no top out inspection or attempt today.

However, I climbed through the crux several times in the last 20 minutes of the day by torchlight! Cheers Lauren, Michael, Carla and Ryan for a great session.

Always a pleasure to be trying this one.

Very good progress, one move from the jugs, keen to get back and send

Excellent route. Enjoyed this first proper session on it a LOT. Got all the moves from the bottom to the bump from the matched pinch rail. Figured out the following hold after being 'done'. Looking forward to next trip.

Eh, remind me in 1 or 2 years.

Didn't stick the crux move today.

oof hard, but i think with the heel hook beta it should be possible. ill be feeling sore for a few days after throwing myself through some of these moves. crazy hard but theres a chance!

In isolation was finally able to match pinch and gain jugs, before top out. Found using a heel hook on the commonly toe hooked undercling, plus a toe hook out right, and compressing hard with legs helped a ton to match pinch. Keen to go for some send attempts soon.
