	28 ~29	★★★ Returnity — 17 attempts - with Rebecca	Sport 25m	★★★ Classic	Mattia Fornari
This route took quite too much time but it was fun to work on it for a while. Today on my last shot I told my belayer that I was going to clean it and give up with this one, but something snapped in my brain while I climbed the crux and I decided a different foot further to the left for the drive-by and clip (crossing), and there it was - I found myself screaming and holding on. Found this red point much harder than all the other 29s and 30s that I’ve sent. Might not be my style.

a consistently desperate route, some moves felt a bit reachy for me. so pumpy, but two good rests in between.

Pretty stoked to have gotten this. I went back and forth between the crux and the throne 10 times before committing to that right hand thing. Thanks for the patience linna !!

fingers are the wrong size for the lock but the undercling is fine, such a good route with some intersting sequences, definetly messed up my practiced beta for the slab and managed to just squeek it in with fingers slipping and toes rolling off! Would recommend a stiffer shoe. Glad to get this one done after trying it about 4 years ago and never returning

Cool moves to good holds! Being comfortable with handjams definitely helps a lot. Was totally fine until the crux at the top: bad pocket, horrible crimp, sloppy crimp and sloppy jugs... yum! Should go next time.

	28	★★★ Returnity — 3 attempts	Sport 25m		Matt King
It's done! Fell off the flake above the crux again first attempt, then tied in an hour later still feeling pumped but somehow feeling fresher the higher I got. Battling the mounting pressure of leaving it behind for a year, very happy I could turn the focus away from the outcome and point it towards the execution of each move one by one. Definitely in the top 2 best performances I've ever done, maybe the best but maybe I'm just psyched. 31 shots over 11 sessions, longest project to date. Would've been longer without the big ol siege with Jayden and Dave. Stoked

	28	★★★ Returnity	Sport 25m		David Barrie
I can echo a lot of Jayden's sentiments on this one. Really enjoyed sieging this with Matt and Jayden too, it made a big difference to the psych and experience. I tried 3 different betas for the crux - the standard drive by left hip to the wall, left hand bump to jug, right heel hook on the crimp next to the right hand, then cross over match on the jug using the slightly higher wide left foot, get a knee scum under the rooflet and bump left hand to the jug I think they're all about as difficult as each other off rope, but the knee scum turns the crux from an arms heavy move to more of a technical move to keep the toe and knee set, which to me was the more doable option on link.

9.12.23 - It's such a strange feeling, you put so much energy into climbing a route and then one day it just all clicks and you find yourself holding that hold that had thwarted you for so many days. After falling off the same move from the ground for maybe 8 sessions I expected to feel frustrated with myself, and this route. That didn't play out, how it had played out so many times years ago, when my outlook on climbing was so outcome oriented. With this route, I kept showing up to this climb with a wry smile, ducking the bar and dancing along the ledge, dumping my bag and gazing at the beautiful orange wall of rock with a sense of awe. This routine would continue many times - tie in, flow, sit, visualise, breath deep, flow, relax, commit, execute and fall with my hands sliding off the last hold of the crux. During the ample air time, I couldn't help but unleash an uncontrollable audible release of energy, all the way down like an elevator in free fall. Pulling up was exhausting but I couldn't help looking forward to the next time I could test myself, to feel that same sensation when you climb well. I really believe the feeling you get from climbing a route is proportional to the challenge, the unsuccessful red points and the mindset you adopt during that time. I like to think of it as "filling the cup", which means I enjoyed a big ol cup of satisfaction when I was able to climb this route. Ultimately, "nobody cares" so just enjoy each time you get to try something hard. Just keep showing up. Thanks Matt and Dave for the continued psych and patient belays! Roughly 16 sessions and maybe 45 tie-ins.

From the slot through the drive by twice, even in the heat. Once with the crux draw already clipped, once having to clip as well. Also better foot beta for getting the side pull, hopefully not too bad on link.

Super nice climb! Love how it has a bit of everything in terms of technicality (high heel mantle, deadpoint, rose move, layback…) so cool! There was two crux moves that I didn’t manage to figure out this session. Keen to try it again!

Every hold felt greasy, from the pockets to the end of the drive-by. Idk if that’s a normal state of affairs for this route, but even a solid brush only helped a little. Regardless, it’s a sick climb, although felt tougher than the last couple I’ve done of the grade

Warmup lap, just chilling bolt to bolt to save pump. Lost the onsight a couple years ago, so wasn’t worried about sending

Slipped at the crux, and noticed the sun was setting I was working it out. The climbing after the crux is incredible though
