Ascents in Flinders Peak (limited access) by Jill

New project incoming! I could do all the moves with rest, now I've just got to link them on lead and not pump out at the top 😳

Hurray got it this time! So many cool moves and such a striking climb 🥰

Thought provoking, challenging and brought out the full try hard noises. So happy.

Ughhhh foot slipped. But at least I have the beta dialled now for warm up.

I didn't realise how spent I was until I went to toprope this to finish off the session. I felt relatively fresh after the onsight attempt and then I was climbing much sloppier on the top rope finish to clean it.

Such a satisfying first day at Sanctuary!

TR lap for endurance training

I didn't notice any obvious cruxes on this pitch, just smooth and thought provoking moves on interesting holds and feet. Not too tricky, but nice and long and flowy.

Climb number 3 for the day and I was feeling really confident and and comfortable leading.

I kept on thinking, maybe I will take a break before this section and sit on the rope, but I kept climbing and by the time I was in the crux I was committed, I pushed through it and happily clipped the chains for my hardest onsight postpartum. It's hard to not dismiss it as a little soft for a 20 but until it's officially downgraded I'm claiming it

I really liked the mix of balance, technical moves and the bulgey crux. Very enjoyable.

I have been practicing taking rests and intentionally blowing the onsight so that I don't overgrip and let the ego demon pump me out by stubbornly pushing through bad rushed and reckless beta and instead taking rests ahead of a tricky bit to problem solve and climb things smooth and confidently.

It's hard to know that maaaaybe/probably I would have got the onsight if I pushed through but I am happy that I feel like I can now jump on a lead without being sure I will onsight it and taking the pressure off myself.

It's a great headspace breakthrough to separate the fear of failing from the fear of falling. It has made leading so much less scary for me!

Silly stubborn ego I think I was always more scared of failing but my body associated it with falling.

Will be coming back for the red point! I really enjoyed this climb and I think I could have got the Onsight if I had pushed through instead of taking a headspace rest before a crux.
