Ascents in Ordinary Men Boulder

Sure, it's super easy but the position and exposure give it some stars in my book.

What's in and what's not.. wondering makes it seem rather contrived. I probably used something that was too close to the top, who knows.

Rad line. Get on it!

Got all the moves sorted... but then, as I put a LH gaston on in a hold on the left side of the dish just left of the big juggy flake, I took the hold with me. Sorted out a new sequence that worked for me (outside edge step through), however, all a bit frazzled by blasting off. Will come back another day.

Thankfully, I don't think I've taken off a hold that most people use, it wasn't chalky, and Neil didn't use it in his video https://youtu.be/VImyTWqoHa0?t=73, instead going to the right side of the dish.

Spent way too long ironing out the bit from the flake onwards. Sorted. Notes taken so that I dont have to spend all this time again!

From flashing it to having no idea how to do it. I think my feet were in a very different spot last time

Bleh. Everything is there and ready to go. Need to be fresh.

It's easier than Pockets, from the stated holds it can't be tougher than V0

We wanted to see if we could make Ordinary Arete feel like a V2. It adds 4 moves to the start, and puts the feet in a different position when at the start hands of Ordinary Arete. Flows nicely

What a great line!

Rad.

One of the few dry problems on the hill.
