5.11d Red Dawn - with Alex Popinga Sport 16m, 7 Classic
Warm up + Attempt + putting extended draw on 5th bolt.

The highest point possible to climb to without sending. I had the jug over the lip after clipping 6th bolt and I was pulling up onto the ledge when my left foot popped. It was very hard to swallow falling there. There's no chance of dropping anything after you stand up and you have a no-hands rest to compose yourself for the last few moves.

As is often the case, when it goes it goes smoothly. This would probably be a 24 in NZ. Rifle grades are a little stiff, but I do think that the altitude definitely affected me badly the first couple of days. I focused on breathing today and it definitely helped.

High point and one hang. Clipped 5th bolt, hung and then went to the top.

High point and one hang. Clipped 6th bolt, hung and then went to the top. Just had one move to the last jug but couldn't quite lock off my right arm well enough as I had the sloper too far right. So close.

Onsight attempt. Got to 4th bolt. Then went bolt to bolt working out the moves.

Second go. Realised that the onsight from 2nd to 3rd was actually quite a good effort as I didn't repeat it and had to suffer a lot finding the beta again
