Ascents of Eat Yourself Fitter as Working

working the last crux move before the chains

Got to 3rd draw on my own power and today (after having to rest at every drawer to work out where the holds were yesterday), then took a rest. Got to 4th drawer on both days, but fear of falling kicked in HARD and I couldn't get any higher....

Third tie in. Hang dog highpoint Managed to get to the jugs on the lip and pull up to sight the anchor for the first time. The mantle looks pretty inviting but it was soaking so dropped back down to 7th bolt.

4th tie in overall. Clipped 4th bolt clean from the ground for new high point. Then hung at 4th and 5th bolts on the way to 7th bolt clipping stance. Lowered after that as top was wet.

Couldn't get to the anchor today as the top was soaking wet after 3 days rain 🌧 BUT the rest was dry (& thank you perma-gear!) and I easily got my 4th bolt high point (albeit a bit embarrassing because I definitely had the juice to get to the 5th bolt cleanly too but I'd surprised myself with how smooth that whole sequence is for me suddenly and so I just didn't go for it, arrrgh 😤😓😖 Still working on that headgame, I guess! Anyway, everything is dialed to the last bolt before the anchor. Will work that last bit, the pullover out of the roof, when it dries!

First go. Hang-dogged to sixth bolt.

Second go. Hang-dogged to 7th (and last) bolt. This was to just below the lip. I didn't have enough power or beta to get to the jugs over the lip. But happy with this for my second go on a route that is very much my anti-style.
