Pure finger licking good chicken wings. Left side in, tried right side with no luck

Strong possibility I did this a decade ago with Bruce, but seems lots in time. Really great problem with delicate feet

Brendan Heywood
Sun 13th Feb 2022
This cleaned up fairly nicely into a pure crack problem without the features to the left which we thought would be needed. Could be a couple variants. All over in 2-3 moves but still good fun. Still not sure I'd want to solo boulder it.

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.

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

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.

V7 The West Face - with Alan Ezzy, Brendan Heywood, Phil Boulder 3m Upper Gara Gorge Classic

Sat 16th Jan 2016
This just looked a bit silly at first. Okay holds to a point and then nothingness beyond. After a few flailing attempts Dr. Phil uncovered a new footer which I found to be quite useful. After plenty of psych I followed Al on the send train, but only just - the difference between sticking the finish and not was a couple of mm's of my middle finger pad. Good times!

Such a nice line! Perfect height for a bit of spice. Had a foot hold break while making the move to the lip on a roped attempt which scared the shit out of me and put me off, but calmed down and sent next shot off rope. Slightly intimidating with one pad and no spotters..

What are you like, Skip? Quality, erm... good, but perhaps unnecessary? Basically look at all the holds you'd like to use and then only use some of them. At least 30 more combinations awaiting a F.A up this very wall

Had vague memories of trying this but don't think I'd got it before. Work it a bit. Alan did harder torquing heel hook then sidepull, I finally did it with heel on and dynoed up to left jug.

A high quality burly number! Had gotten close on previous attempts but managed to hang in there long enough this time, think more about my foot placements and push through it. Plenty of send-train psych and action out here today!

Fri 8th Jan 2021
First proper session on this unique and burly piece. For much of the 3 hours we were here it was sprinkly mist above yet FC remained dry. Worked the start thanks to Skippy's hard earned beta and got myself into the jams which felt way more comfortable than the more marginal crux sequence. Elated to get the send but dampened a little given Skippy was all but on the send train before pulling up just short after a very solid session.

Last session we wanted to scout this, but the bridge was 40cm under so we never got here. Now 2 days later the water had receded but we assumed it would be wet as the flood a week ago peaked roughly 4m above fight club! It's been almost 3 months since I've tried this, or anything at all over the rainy period. I pulled on, and could barely move and then grunted and sagged off feeling very weak.

Everyone else had a go, then I silently pulled on for the second go, and all the muscle memory returned and I flowed smoothly through the first crux, got the double inverted feet, plugged the next couple hands, then ended up doing a different sequence through the crimp to touched the nose to finish ...

And then just like that it was done

Almost anti-climatic and it's easy to forget how much of a battle it's been unlocking this, around 40-50 goes over 8 sessions but it feels like longer. New shoes really show how utterly trashed my old ones are, they are at least 16 years old, unsure how many resoles, and have served me faithfully. The Scarpas are dead! Long live the Scarpas!

Later on I worked the extension a little, which Ben put up today as well

I surprised myself by remembering the beta! Plenty of psych from the crew and even the mighty Gara chipped in with some post-flood froth of it's own for the occassion.

Weird that I haven't logged this, done it a whole bunch of times. Got back there today to see how bad the flood debris was. Took about half an hour to move all of the sticks out and flatten it into a nest for the pads. It's probably a better and softer fall zone now than before. And then re-sent it just to make sure. Took maybe 5 shots

I first tried this 11 years ago! We intended to just have a look at this and then chase some underground shade at FC, but then we thrashed ourselves for 4 hours straight, maybe 20 attempts? I was done numerous times: left hand was swollen from the jam and right tips were shredded, but psyche kept regrowing. In the end some new subtle beta eliminated the jam altogether. Super stoked and quite unexpected. Now it just needs a proper start on the underclings, the two moves into where I started will likely bump it up to around V6-7
