1st 21. very happy. not breezy tho. the whole climb was sharp mings between crimp jugs. wet shoes from the DWS made edging feel like i was climbing sticks of butter.
For me, the crux was using one of the very crimpy ticked holds in the beginning for my left hand to reach the 3rd bolt. This hold was the reason my partner could not complete the climb. I also wouldn't be surprised to find such a hold like this on a 22. However I found the rest of the climb fair to the grade... Not sure why people were saying the crux is reachy, unless I happened to miss-climb the section around the fourth bolt and go out too far to the right (I found this the easiest way to clip the fourth bolt - on my first attempt took an unnecessary number of falls trying to work out how to clip).
FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH stunnin. Loved it. Back at Dam Cliffs after 1.5 years and now lead sending the 21 that I was falling off on top rope back then. Huge growth, stooookeddddd. and Oh my fucking god, took the BIGGEST WHIPPAA of my life on the victory whip here!!! full send adrenaline wasnt thinking, dyl had G'd me up to and gave more slack, and I shit you not it was an 8-9m WHIPPPAAA!!!! insane cannot believe it. took out a few branches of the tree on the way down ahahahah
Fell off the right crimp above draw and hard poked my eye on the first attempt. Tried it again after encouragement for the group and got it on the third try. Was power breathing the juggy finish all the way to the finish 🥵
