Great day with Ev. Almost hit the triple crown of climbing the 3 mega 25’s in a day (trundle, stroll and crossroads) couldn’t hack crossroads at the end as it got way too hot. Next time!!!

After coming off of trench warfare, this felt about grade 14. Hahahahahah. Really fun climbing

 
24 ~25 Trench Warfare Trad 35m Good
This felt insanely hard. Like 26 hard. The start was also extremely runout on holds that could totally explode. Might have missed some gear in the spiderweb crack but also didn’t feel like hanging around and placing it. I definitely would have hit the deck if I fluffed it at around 6-7 metres. Feels like the most bold section of climbing I have done. Totally scary and felt kind of stupid for climbing on. Lol. The actual trench part of the climb is fine and really fun.

The annoyingly hard boulder problem at the start isn’t very fun hahah. Wouldn’t blame anyone who would rather pull past it lol. This route will be a memorable one as it’s the first time I’ve ever ripped a piece. Got flamed on the flash burn and rushed a placement and took the plunge weeeeee. Very good

I think I could run laps on this all day and not get sick of it. Love the headspace that this kind of climbing creates. Forget about the bolts and focus only on the moves. Wicked

 
23 Smooth Sailing Sport 30m Classic
Superb, The harder, scarier older sibling to Apline. No onsight as I peeped a look at the holds lowering off of lost socks. Pretty cool looking up into the seemingly blank section and making it happen. All on the feet, sooooo good.

Sad to not send er this sesh. Feels legit at 25. Am choosing to avoid the apparently super good rest in the slot and just go for it arms blazing. Such a good route so I’m happy to keep ripping it up such a mega line. Probably have had 10 full laps on it now. FITNESSSSSS

20 R ~22 Layback And Think Of England Trad 25m Classic
Pwoah! Incredible and super tough at the grade. Note to future frothers - Bring sling that you’re happy to leave to rap off chicken heads up the top... the existing sling is ancient and shouldn’t be trusted.. The other option is to solo off the cliff and that’s not so nice. Also climb right out of the crack at the orange break with sharp jugs. Continuing up the crack left will lead you to an impossible sloping ramp. I had to downclimb these moves and made things much harder than they needed to be. Big gear - 2 x 5’s and 2 x 6’s. Could easily use 4 of each to make things easy though.

And so it begins. The quest for my first at the grade. Went bolt to bolt to the crux with little effort as Mr Conroy is my beta king and we will likely climb this pretty much exactly the same. At the crux I tried a few different things as there seems to be a few options. Made all the moves and can have a go at putting together some solid links tomorrow. Powerful and sustained this beautiful line won’t go down easily. Hopefully this is the trip! Mega psyched!
