Ascents of Gaston

Nothing all that hard about it besides the fear factor of that dirty v0 slab top out

Couple of goes. Not feeling it.

Desperately thankful I thought to empty my bladder before going for the send. Terrifyingly slabby top out had me looking like an inchworm, only far less elegant.

Deeply grateful to Alex (AKA Milky) and Johnny for the spot. Nice to meet you

Finally understand this. Will return with pads and spotter to send.

Mantle how? Big session on this. Now I know lots of ways it probably can't be climbed, but no clearer on actual send beta.

Spooky mantle out but fun

That mantle is mental. Couldn't bring myself to commit. Have to come back with some more pads.

Really cool problem. You can mantel directly from the sloper and crimpy jug at the lip.

Such a cool first move! Didn't stick it, but feels doable. Mantle looks and feels nuts! Good morning at Toohey, looking forward to cooler winter temps. Tried Fat Man Traverse and fell at the traverse crux. Feels very re-tickable. Tried Chug at EOD. Felt so hard hahaha. Gotta get training!

was hard today, very hot.. but we got there eventually. did the same mantle as for The Plum, made sense as there were no other holds.

Getting tired by now, and accidentally tried the wrong problem for a fair few attempts haha. Hard mantle for next time.

Nice committing mantle
