Climbed through top crux a-ok and then punted getting established on the ledge, felt more nervous than needed on that sloping rail... Lesson learned. But this climb is so amazing an excuse to come back isn't all bad.

Flamed from earlier climbing, this was exactly what I was looking for. Easy but cool boulder problems between super rests. That is all up until the final steep roof - where you have to hold on for longer than I was able. Sick route nonetheless. NB: there is a kneebar at the last bolt. If only I had seen it...

Perfect day at Lower Zap today, cold but not freezing and a little bit of sun to make it even more comfortable. Felt incredibly solid on this route, went first placing the first draws and remembering the beta, second go it went feeling super good, no mistakes, no rush, felt super good. Still did a repeat, went up to clean the draws and was feeling fresh enough and clipped the anchors again. From there back jumped until fixed binner and cleaned the rest from there. Awesome day out.

Done as warm up putting in the draws after 2 goes 5 and 10 years ago. Plenty of good rests but a cruxy jump (for me) move down low from the ok left edge and a solid sequence to access and leave the flake above. Top section is ok with a left heel but take some thought before the final jug. Classic of the grade and lots of good climbing and positions....awesome

Linked lots of sections, the big rests will help. But the end really is a heartbreaker. For next time, use far left of final hold, high feet and up to slopy corner before finishing. Bring long draw.

Had a fingertip flapper from tripping when we went off track on the approach, so wasn't able to give this a proper attempt but it has got me excited. Need to come back when healthy.

Did all moves until the last 2 bolts where we realized I was running dangerously close to being late for work, so pulled on draws from there. One of the steep-flake bolts looks how bolts should not look lol

Clean repeat. Despite proper alpine weather, this made a surprisingly good warmup due to the copious rests (I found 6) no-handers. As this route/crag hadn't seen any traffic in quite a while, it was pleasant to climb this with surprisingly minimal chalk on it. Fun thugging.

Absolutely wonderful. Stacks of no hands rests for when you're feeling completely blitzed. Nearly dropped it clipping the chains because all I could see was red. Safe to say my shoulder is 95% better and I can start trying harder again yew

Punted the onsight with a foot slip down low and then lost upwards momentum for the rest of that lap. Went very easily second go. I did three(?!) fairly substantial dynos at my height which totally added radness points that a taller climber would avoid. Despite this however it is probably only 24.
