Ascents of All the Young Fascists by Kym Campbell

Introducing Paul to this beauty. Took a while to remember everything, nearly got it second run, though it's top rope, so who cares?

Finally got there. I'm calling it a classic because no one can stop me, and it's such a satisfying climb with an intricate sequence through the crux. Hard for the grade.

Getting closer. I can see this going now.

Getting better at the bits I can do already, and worse at the bits I can't do.

Calling this a dog, though a purist might argue. Progress on this route is incremental, because the crux is so damn cruxy.

Remembering the moves. But not very well. Some progress at the crux at least.

Felt like going backwards today. That crux is giving me grief, but there must be a way.

Got through the crux today with a few falls and rests - it's tenuous, but it was always going to be. Still some work to do to put it all together.

If I can find a way through the crux, this might go, but I had to aid through it this morning. For the rest it's mostly a matter of getting the sequence right.

Start's not too bad, but then it gets hard and stays hard all the way to the end. Enjoyable climbing, though. One to come back to.
