Ascents in Kingdom Boulders

One move wonder indeed. Crux is definitely pulling on and getting stable.

first of the grade! went quickly too

Three move climb and it's nails! Could do the third move to the lip with LH as a static lock-off. The second move will go too. But no idea about the first move. Bloody sit starts!

So unexpected! And what a cool move! Jumped on it after 2 months of confinement. Good to see I can still crimp.

So close! Just missed the lip.

Close, but not able to hold it stable.

Super satisfying!

I am not worthy

Also not worthy. But got to the first crimp.

Just short on the catch

Very psyched to do this! has been in the back of my mind ever since i tried it 2 years ago and it felt impossible. was lovely to come back and see the progress

when i first saw this it looked impossible

So barn doory.

Hand shredding. Stuck after the first few moves - not sure what to do with my feet.

Never thought I could pull onto a V7 but Ian showed me some beta and I could get to the right side pull, the crux awaits

Pretty mega line! Lacked a little commitment for the top move, but will come back for it at some point.

This is real hard, way harder than dark scar.

Worked on top rope solo. Got rained on a bit but after it dried pulled the top half. Will work again til solid as final sequence is somewhat commiting.

Got all the moves dialed in on a rope now. That top sloper move is pretty low probability still. Will work it more to see if that can feel more certain and then need to find some spotters!

Awesome balancey climbing. Worked mostly from stand start until skin said no more.

keen to try this again in cooler weather

First time no rope. Wasn't planning it. Got the top slope and stuck it but tips were too greasy and no chalk bag. Long fall, OK but not great 1 pad thick. Will double stack pads and bring a hip chalk bag next time! Great climbing.

Left hand exit to blob after getting right hand on poor sloper. Will work right hand exit next

Super close on the right hand exit. Now excited to get it done.

End of the day, peeled off the top a couple of times. Keen!

End of the day attempt and the start alone is quite hard. Very moonboardy and cool! Will come back next time with more skin and energy.

Awesome progress for a first session. Spooky footwork and top. This will hopefully go in the next session!

Not really quite sure of the line. The holds on the left are easily in reach but not sure if they are in.

It goes!!! Found a side pull over the top. Powerful moves.

Tried to follow Anthony's beta up this route but miscalculated his height and span. Ended up having to retreat because my limbs were so outstretched when I got to the top section, it felt like I was hanging on to a fridge and couldn't move! Will definitely go if I used the same beta with a higher foothold though. Come back to this next time.

Cool moves up to the lip. I might have to top out on the right side, where the 7 ends tho.

Can stick move to the left edge but need to commit to the top out

Pogo is hard

Too tired after the other two, feels doable.
