Ascents in South

A fun dynamic problem. A height dependent problem, taller people will be able to send this statically.

A spicy traverse link up.

Nice extension line

Starting matched on the big left ear felt closer to a V2. Nice line with a few new holds after some cleaning.

This one felt like a V1 once a nice hold appeared after removing some loose rock. Still follows same line

This is an absolute classic and the best V2 Ive sent in the forest. It is so pure, with great holds and body movement. This is a must for the forest.

Had a few goes today, should go down with some better footwork.

Really nice low ball.

I might have sandbagged this a little. Should have listened to Pim. Such brilliant slab climbing though. One of the best slabs at the Forest!

Nice low mantley climb

Firmly not V3 (it's a lot harder than Monopebble and I'm not convinced that is even V3) - possibly V5? Almost finished this after spending ages on much harder beta trying to match tiny footers - but still fell of with the easier sequence many times. Easiest sequence for me was right-toe on start footer; LH to gaston crimp; left foot solidly on next footer; reach up and balance-cross RH to the good lower part of sloper; step through right foot onto diagonal edge, using left palm for balance. Bring weight over and grab left hand to low bad part of sloper. From there it's probably easier to veer left more as Pete did instead of climbing up Monopebble as I was trying (but at least the MP way you get an okay rest on the starting crimp)

This was harder than I remember it being, but I forgot about the right-hand pebble (confusing it for one out left on the arete). Also didn't realise it was on same boulder (and almost same line) as Pim's Line - except this goes directly up from the big sloper then left, whereas Pim's Line takes path of (slightly less) resistance left then up

Confusingly similar formation to the boulder with Twin Peaks and Sweet Relief - but I'm pretty certain these are different, look very different in photos (Twin Peaks has comes to a sharp point, both these boulders had flatish rounded tops), and definitely couldn't have sit-started this (can barely stand)

After working out the start move, took maybe 10-16 attempts to get the top. Looking at video, first attempt was almost exactly same as send.. I think about half of those attempts were just trying to find ways around the sharp single-finger pebble hold, which was painful even with taped fingertip.. but there is almost exactly no other holds.
