Ascents of Extra G Connection

Felt okay until the pinch, it's terrible I can't imagine holding that. Might have to try something else ...

traverse = unlocked, will send next time

Felt easier than last time

Wow, excellent moves for the traverse!

Few goes at the start.

working on TR. got the moves for the start of GC and traverse, will try and strong it together next time I'm out with a TR

Close to getting most of the moves. Have moved up to the traverse to Extra G but struggling to stick this section. Will be a very sustained line when it goes.

Retroflashed it and it felt easy! (although the top rope made it easier).

I got everything done in two parts!

Another attempt today and got a bit further than yesterday. Was able to get to and hold the undercling pinch thing and stand up on the R foot. R foot needs to be higher and I need to press upwards on the R hand to make this stick. Again, too hard for me, I need to be stronger but it's good to try hard (for me) moves.

Gave it another whirly gig. Made it a tiny bit further than last time. Too hard for me. But it's nice to try. Gotta get my L foot higher to reach the L early crimp. This is so much about the feet.

Gave it a few goes. Way too hard for me, desperate moves with poor foot placement basically just hoping for my feet to stick. You really need to know the beta for this I feel.

Finally

First lead some 13 years ago. Repeat using gear preplaced by Josh.

Would be classic if it wasn't escapable.

Rapped in and pre-placed gear for Muesli Direct and Extra G. Fired first go, and was super pumped by the top. Great climbing!

Night repeat!

Managed some funky moves did my head in pretty painful too

Wasn't warm enough on my first go and had a sit.

Feeling solid, 3 clean laps today

Lap 3 had a couple rests

Lap 2 pumped out of my mind

Got a clean lap all in one go, should get the lead soon

Finally got the hard bits sorted, fell off 2/3 up. I just need the endurance to finish it off.

Couldn't quite manage the traverse, will have to smash it next time round

First crack, forgot the drop knew on the crossover and popped off

Finally got the tick on this route! Much easier with beta, been a great journey to finally tick this!

Spent a fair while hanging around trying to figure out beta. Seem to have most of the beta sorted now, will hopefully go soon

Had 2 sits, really starting to get the beta down. Will go soon!

Awesome route and my first route of the grade at mori. Finally worked out the beta for the start of Geronimos and linked it. Should go clean in a couple more sessions

Stuck on large move off of left hand side pull, need better beta for right hand and feet
