Ascents as sport by Laurence Judd

Lead twice TR twice, feels easier to me but the jury is out as it got mixed opinions with fellow climbers.

Lead once and TR twice. Tricky start to an easier finish.

Lead twice and TR twice

May now be a 18/19 after some accidental landscaping today...

Took a hold off, that I believe may be AO's crux move. Might make it a 18/19 now. Small 3 finger crimp above the big sloping sidepull is now a sinker jug.

Killer fun.

Always good, super dialled.

Went 2nd go today after getting mad flash pump. Finally found a good beta through the roof.

Better on natural gear, but didnt have the rack handy today.

Great fun with a very satisfying jump

4 laps

Now has an extra bolt.

A few good options next to the chains. Still feels quite a lot easier than a 20.

Climbed to clean draws, simple enough, bit chossy

Couldnt really work out what to do after the double undercling in the roof. Pretty hard to work on TR too which was frustrating.

A taste of some more organ pipe movement. Reallly thought provoking. Love how sticky the rock is too.

Really fun movement! Lack of endurance showed on this

Very interesting climbing style here. Technical and filled with side pulls.

Cruisy end of session lead

Lead twice, +3 laps on TR for warm ups

A lot of beta to be remembered! Good to get back on this one, keen to spend some more time on it

Good enough, scrambly start with a few interesting moves onto the slab, then a very easy finish.

Seems to be quite a bit of gear, not sure why this is bolted.

Fantastic Gear the whole way up. Big Nuts and medium cams (0.4-1)

A one move wonder low down leads to an easy finish.

A great warm up.

This would be a committing lead. Some better beta may make it less committing.

A committing start up to the first bolt! In hindsight it would have been wiser to stick clip it, but where's the fun in that?

Absolute classic. Sequence dialled and finally went today! Looks like its time to get the quick draws out soon.

New highpoint, missed the brown sidepull after the double gaston. Sequence is getting smoother! Need to learn to rest still. Love the technicality of this route.

3 clean laps this session. Finally locking the beta down.

2 ground up attempts today. beginning to get the flow. fell both times between 3rd & 4th due to pump.

Worked out nearly every move and worked out clipping positions. Will take some power endurance to send this burly line.

The least technically intense line of the wall, the most approachable for climbers new to this wall.

With beta dialled on TR, this went butter smooth first go. A tough couple of moves with a much easier start and run out to the chains. Found this slightly easier than Mercey just for it being less sustained.

First go today, shoes with a proper edge made a big difference!

All moves go no problem, bolt to bolt hangs, just pump management. Time to start linking it up.

Sent this a while back finishing for PO accidentally. Sending today with correct finish. Felt about a grade softer than ELV

Quirkie sequence and a painful hold.

Killer sequence. Really enjoyable climbing.

Fell at the 3rd bolt again, studied the holds for some time and tried some new feet, with some success.

Found a juicy new footer that makes the top move static! Much less desperate from the ground now. First time clean and no pump. Lead with new beta next session.

Got to third clip free. My beta above the 3rd clip did not work in 30C heat.. Found a better clipping position for 3rd bolt tho, thanks Ross.

Just got to dial the beta a little more and the lead will go a treat! Felt strong on this today!

Onsight attempt. Got to 4th bolt and pumped out. A lot of guessing holds and lack of endurance got the best of me. Will work on some strategy next session.

First time was clean but wow ive forgotten how much endurance matters when you climb more than 4m off the ground! 2nd time took a fall which was exciting

First attempt at this one, an adventure and a lot of spice on the traverse. All the moves go individually, now its just putting it together!
