Ascents by Kurt Doherty having Boulder CPR

Great climbing. Took a few goes to get the mantle. Ended up using the side-pull, though it felt like the hard part was over by the time I could reach it. About 7 or 8 goes.

Best of the three that I did. Fun movement through the undercling to the lip.

Awesome. Bit of a one move wonder, so felt soft for a V4, but it is very good.

Good, but a bit awkward having to avoid the obvious blocks at the base.

Repeat. First go. That drop down sequence is still so glorious.

Repeat. Had to refresh the sequence to setup for the 180, and my foot position for the knee bar, then sent. Would say it's probably one of the better lines here, especially out of the V4's.

Had a play. Second dyno is cray cray. Cool though.

Super fun.

Not that good with the big block. Felt more like V3, though the top was a bit dicey with poop and sand and spiders. Big difference without the big footer o_O ... Will have to work up to the V6.

Great little problem.

So classy.

Really cool. Soft V5 or maybe V4. Starting at Gravel Pit would make it more convincing at V5. [3]

Loved it. Sit start is very dependent on height or the number of mats you can stack...had to start with right hand on lowest chalky gaston and left hand up on undercling. Made for a more powerful start without adding anything to the boulder. Think it's much nicer as a stand-start from the right side-pull and left undercling—would make it a super good V3/4. Regardless, really nice moves once you're established. Again, had trouble with my right shoe slipping off. [5]

Short but fun. Rock is coarse.

Awesomely thin. [4]

Very nice. Fun moves to a reasonably committing finish.

Great boulder. [4]

FFA. Super fun—one of the best problems I did during the festival. Took about 4 attempts to work it out and send.

Working on the start. So hard, but really great movement.

Great climbing, but super hard with the broken hold. Didn't touch the final jug or even try the mantle. Can't imagine it's a 6 anymore.

We started more to the right than shown on the topo. Following the topo seems much harder than V2.

About 5 attempts. Crux beta for me was starting with a high left heel hook instead of a lower toe.

Super fun.

More reach dependent than the direct version, but still enjoyable.

Couldn't pull the crux sloper move—well beyond my contact strength unless we were all missing something.

Good value.

Almost flashed then got it second shot. Ticked as a V4 because I didn't start from the pinches; it's too contrived. Took the more natural start and pulled directly onto the rail. Only felt V4-ish from there, so don't know if the "proper" start sets the V5 grade or not. Might come back and try it from the pinches. [2]

FFA. Short crimpy line with a reasonably tough finish. Felt harder than "Glen's V4" but don't think it's a 5. Took more attempts than 'The non-friction section' but that could just be style. Guess I'll have to see what others think. [10]

Straight-forward crimp ladder. Felt V1 to me.

Quite a spooky top out for me.

No clue on how to pull off the ground on this either. After trying this and Figurehead a bunch, I called it quits to save skin.

Struggled to pull of the ground... same deal for Cannon et al

Repeat. Still a fun problem.

Felt harder than last time. Still wicked fun though. [2]

Right foot pinged off the crux quite a number of times. Quality techiness.

Again to demonstrate beta to The Rock crew.

Had one attempt at the end of the day. Pulled through to double gastons but couldn't get up to the line of slopers above.

Couldn't pull past the broken hold to higher edges. Pretty awesome boulder. [5]

First outdoor boulder...ever!

Trying the full start. Not enjoyable. Too far for me to span straight to the rail. Other options felt nails. Should be logged as a V4 from the rail with the harder start left as optional.

Almost onsighted, but foot slipped after the mantle Sent next shot. More interesting than Redbank Gillete Mach 3. [2]

Good value for a V2. Right foot slipped on the onsight (it was a recurring theme by this stage). Got it second go. [2]

Just playing on reversing the Orient Express section. Pretty sure I've done this from Lazarus instead of Too Soft, but not sure why I wouldn't have logged it. Should really top-out.

Not too bad. Retreat upwards as they say.

More moves = more fun? Bit more interesting than the Mach 3 mantle, though a little squeezed in.

Tried to go for Brave Heart but, you guessed it, got scared and bailed left. Pretty cool problem though and it's at a decent height.

Nice little problem.

Worked this to vary degrees. Will take many more attempts to send. Definitely not a style I'm used to. [5]

Retreat upwards.

Repeat. Warming up. Been a long time since I was last here and it looks like the left hand side pull has broken off and is now a bit worse. Still usable and no change in grade.

Worked sections of it. Find the length of some of the moves quite difficult. Really need to work out right heel placements that'll let me extend far enough.

Warming up. Good fun.

FFA. Climbed ground up so needs a good clean. Climbs well, but the short hand traverse on the chossy plates at mid-height ruins it—there could be other options besides them, or left by them when they inevitably come off.
