Ascents in Beulah by Brendan Heywood

Got it 3rd attempt, really burly good fun. Felt a bit vomity for a while after

Psyched myself up and did the 3m jump across the canyon to get off instead of the cave

Had a play at the start but wasn't committing to get my feet up and didn't get far

Keen to tick this off but took an unexpected fall after the second piece, somehow nipping the tip of my 'flexible stem' and had to sit down for a few minutes. This might have also been when the mystery rope burn in my arm pit also happened that I found a day later.

Had a go at the start but didn't get into it properly. The B's had worked most of it but were struggling with the finish section, which I was happy to jump on and flash with my weird caving tactics.

Crux is a high fingery start then good jam practice. Perfect spot for top roping crack practice

Did with no gloves. Was good but I should have worn them, a few teethy bits

This thing was so sharp I could barely pull on while dogging it. This is NOT river rock!

Ben led this and we thought it was an FA. I pink pointed and my sequence was very different, I had a solid knee bar in from the first move (of course I did) and I felt very secure dragging that back step up the whole way until you can stand for the easy vertical crack part

Looks harder than it is, sharp but not actually that sharp either

Slopey campus

Possibly my fav problem this easter

Still feels as hard as ever

Lap in sneakers

Lap in sneakers

Epic, scary, sharp, slopey

Did the first bit but bailed on the mantle as when the crack turns awkward

Was just pulling on, looked down at my left shoe and realised that the tiny hole I'd seen earlier in the day was now an inch wide. Time for new shoes, and a cider

Nice high step mantle

Good, but too sharp. One attempt

Sharp but good, first go

First go, redid it a couple times using as many knee bars as possible, I think 4

Warmup first try

Had an awesome session with Ben working this and making progress inch by inch. I'm optimistic this will go

Noice

Always struggle on the sloper crux. It's almost 2 or even 3 different problems linked together, sloper tail, mantle, and slab

Came back with Ben and we both did it from the sit start

Got this but not from sit start, maybe V4

Got it second go from stand start

Nice, how come I've never done this?

Another lap, also did it again first go

Another lap of this classic. First go from the proper low bum start so pretty happy
