Ascents in Evan Stone area

Succumbed to the peer pressure and the mounting psyche of what would end up as Alec's first V7 and got on this. High humidity and spooge factor, could barely hold the left crimp let alone dyno off it, which makes Alec's send (and then repeat for the camera) so much more impressive. I think he had 35 goes!

In work boots

After 3 attempted “I’m Finished let’s move on’s” and slowly grinding down Skin on a day that potentially could’ve been awful, stoked to have dynoed through the wet rock, moss and pine needles to send this one, then to send it again for good measure

I remember being freaked out watching Ben on this but this time it just seemed like no big deal looking up at it. You absolutely do not want to fall but it might even be a V0.

Super happy with how I re-sent this, very smooth and controlled didn't struggle or grovel at all. All in the hips

Felt pretty hard getting back on this, took long breaks to save skin and made each go count. Got it maybe 3rd or 4th try

A bit of a banger one move wonder. I think the grade is debateable depending on your dimensions, but otherwise its definitely a neat little climb.

Great Dyno off nice crimps and nothing for feet. Lovely little Dyno.

can't remember when but did this when working The West Face

Repeat

short but fun

...if your're here anyway

a few options down here and a bit too dark/pumped to complete any of them.

Another splendid Gara surprise

a little contrived but a fun challenge with a little bit of commitment for the top out

It was dark and I thought I was already done but the psyche was high and the single shared headlight kept us going. I mostly did the very torquey crux moves through the roof a few times and fell off chopping the hand jam in on the right. Somewhat contrived but a really awesome cave roof problem.

Did the traverse a few times, first using foot looks at arm bars, second with crimps and third with underclings. Was pretty gassed generally by this stage and just couldn't pull onto the mantle.

Took a bit of figuring out but such a great problem. This thing is such a cool find despite us looking at this block before and dismissing it. Maybe 10 attempts and was close to leaving it for next time.

Coupla goes, another gem for this area 🤙

Hard start move and then balancy stand up and done

More or less a nice extension

I thought this would be really spicy but the left side is too close. A wild hard sit start could be possible off a little crystal pocket
