Ascents in South East as Working by Alexander Jones

Unreal. John showed me this today. The waterfall was flowing and the pool was deep but we figured it out. Probably around V9 or so. Fantastic boulder traverse! Up there with the best of SEQLD for sure.

Beta thangs

Gawdayum. So the all points off could go. I’m not committing to the entire pull up because I can clear all the pads and land on the chill-out rock behind it. I think it could go in the future with more pads and bigger balls but like I’m flying 3-4m off this thing. Sick!

Pretty hard great climb. Will try again for sure.

Bad warmup

It's hard pulling on to something you think is above your pay grade. It is mentally difficult knowing that every session you improve by 5-10% and that battle is what makes limit climbing worthwhile; fighting against the feeling that it cannot be done. Classic boulder.

Holy fuck this thing is a proper mega king line. Well hard maybe V10 but pulled some moves and worked beta with the fellas, it does go and will be a classic.

Man this is sick. The move into the tiny 5mm pinch is mega cool, and moving up from there is amazing. Probable double digit climb at least. I can see it going for someone with strong fingers and powerful movement ability.

Linked all sections besides the start extremely tough first move. Absolutely classic line. I reckon it'll sit pretty good at V7-9, more likely V8. High tension moves and beta option for shorties or tallies. Quite similar to a spray wall problem.

New topo to come.

No gas but this is fucking sick. I said I'd come back next time but I'll say it again: be fresh next time!

Sweet easiest it's felt just should come fresh, not after a hard day of sport climbing.

Bam can pull off, tickle first move. Tickle second move and move half way on the final move. Weird eureka moment knowing it can go now with some more time.

Seem to be able to start moving on some holds now, and can hang the positions. Don't know how to do the start yet but feels good from not being able to hold any positions last time.

Piece by piece.

Properly opening the account I reckon. Classic.

Working into send burns. Feel good about tomorrow!

Always a pleasure to be trying this one.

Good to touch base and get it linked up again. Surprisingly the conditions and temps were workable!

Wild. Just trying some moves with timbo beta.

Much closer.

:o cool line

Oo baby going to come back to this. Stuck that big move and the micro beta compression style is my fave. Reminds me of Parks and Rec but hard mode.

Big links keen for it to be the first of the grade. Absolutely awesome route.

Always feels so possible but just out of reach. Just have to keep showing up I guess.

Not sure why I haven't touched this before. Great line.

Hell yeah all locked in on send burns. It'll go any time.

Back to business. Feeling much better than last set of projecting -- getting off the ground is easy at least. The ticket will be skin management this round. Keen to get back to it and commit some send burn sessions.

Maybe it'll feel V8 one day but I can't even hold a single position?

Sick got a new high point. Definitely out of my range for now unfortunately.

Ned Giess had the thin Gaston explode on him. Made for a wild fall. Harder climb now??

Should try send next time really great line.

Nearly got the send -- great line!

Still a tricky one. Can't seem to make a lot of progress or fit in the box. Confused.

Hard to not bonk the nog. Easy at first glance and hold fondle but will end up being decently tricky.

Wow this is definitely the coolest route I have ever been on. What a sustained pumper! Managed all the moves and sequences up to final bolt... After I thought I did the crux, it just got harder. That dyno/throw is so satisfying when you catch it. Hard as 25 wtf lol.

Awesome it all goes. Next cooly proj me thinks.

Comfortable in all moves but unsure how to get out of early kneebar and not burn the gas with accidental cut. Boulderer's dream 😂

Awesome to come back to compared to 6 months ago not knowing how to lead.

Will be back, super cool for a local proj.

Not today

Very sick. Huge start into a mystery finish. Will be a great V5(?)

For sure coming back for this absolute classic. So sick.

Send attempts are a go go. Not much else to improve on for now.
