Ascents by Poppy

Good holds where you need them. Consistent with the other routes at the wall.

Spoilt for options, I tried to stay right in the pale groove which kept it consistent. Clip anchor from big horn for full value.

Long enough to keep it interesting. Popcorn rock was something different. What are these bolts though??

A good press move.

One move. Maillons at the anchor are rusting, mild steel?

Old man of the mountain does it again, but no sandbags this time. Pretty fun how it keeps you on the face.

Sick. Edgy. I like.

Top ropeable for beginners, like it's sister

Almost lost it drifting too far right, pretty good length to it and feels quite high. Solid onsight by Josh.

Ran it out after the first bolt. Wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to clean out the crack of foliage. First move is worthwhile.

Sun and tree in the face made it tricky! Ant nest at the anchor.

Good enough to warrant jumping on. Rock is stable

Kind of nonsense, almost an unfinished sport route. Don't lead this thinking that it is.

Up Hazy Shade of Winter for a harder finish

Be careful of the explodo holds or you may end up sideways...

Good tech and small crimps. Lost the flash hanging around and trying to identify the sequence. Second and final shot I blew off the crux crimp taking precious skin with it. Would attempt again.

'ken-'ard mate! Good stuff

Probably one of my hardest trad leads, awesome technical moves. Gear up on lead.

Linked second and third pitches with mega drag. Zara did an extra piss ahem pitch.

Sunrise

Sick stemming and jams. Pro-a-plenty. Love it. Waiting for Dunes.

Slimy slippery polish in the crack. Not a huge fan, but it is good. Would second, but not lead again.

Got up to the last buldge before after getting completely bottled below. Rested on gear rather than committing to the crux on hands that could barely open a 'biner. Need to remember to place a purple cam in the crux crack/ pocket reaching from the flat jug to the right. Before then in the big crack, place a red cam in the pocket below. Overall happy with my effort despite being very unhappy at the time. I think the right decision was made. Had a high left foot to get past the lower crux. Must try again. Single rock of cams up to #3 and single rack of nuts with pink tricam should do.

Sustained pump management with good gear. I liked this. Felt close to the ground all the time so I placed a lot.

Nothing to write home about. Crux seemed to be small hold pulling unless I missed some beta.

Some awkward beta through the lower corner, but moves throughout the rest were otherwise a delight. Impressive lead by Josh, I would have been squirming. Good composure.

Superb. Happy with how I climbed this, not as long as I was expecting. Crux moves provoke thought and commitment. Ripper. Thanks for following on this Josh.

Up on Josh's gear. Pretty fun! Started further left than expected.

Not particularly memorable

Zoom

Adequate gear and nice rope anchor option at top.

Blessed are the route setters, for they shall inheret the FA.

Good enough for a top rope lap.

The sand will clean up, some big airy moves keep your belayer guessing. Cool.

Quality rock, quality moves. Beautiful pockets.

Tough one.

Opening moves are super exciting, ring ring. Rest of them are pretty good too. Scary looking at the pro I relied upon previously..

Love this sort of nonsense

Yeah don't
