Ascents in Bangor Blocs

One of my absolute proudest flashes. The full package problem; powerful down low with a gorgeous, bold top-out.

Okay warm-up.

Maybe I didn't read the topo right, but what I did definitely didn't feel like a v0. Okay top-out but ugly start.

Very cool, thuggish problem, with a thought-provoking mantle.

2nd shot. I really wanted to like this problem, but sandy holds and awkward moves combined with the terror of doing it by myself put paid to that.

Cute.

Really had to fight for this one. Continuous, sequency and the mantle is a real sting in the tail.

soft 5 or a 4? A few strong moves throughout and the rest isn't bad.

3rd shot... 1st try after trusting the footer. ahh, slabbing.

Awesome climb. This face is a beaut. soft even at V5 I reckon.

Don't know if I did this the way it was intended, but it was awesome and still tough! Used left side of undercling out right (left of the start of the V0) and toe-hooked on a jug hold above that. Regardless, awesome.

Cool climbing.

A couple of shots. Technical, thin and more physical than you would think.

Fun!

Folded a mat over to get the first hold

Onsight. Enjoyable.

Enjoyable!

2nd go. Really fun. I was a smidge scared of the landing and wussed out first attempt, but made it work!

burly and satisfying.

Exactly

Very thin, and needed a bit of a brush on the foot smears. The high flake (right side, below topout) is about to pop, take care or epoxy.

Best warmup, and a cool little start sequence.

Reach dependent, very forgettable.

Totally my style, ditch the cute moves and thug it through the underclings, unless you're under 178 cm. I was messing around up high, and fell off like an idiot. 2nd time through the crux was more of a fight.

Line of the crag, burly and straightforward.

Tough for the grade and sequency.

If you traverse out right its definitely harder than V0. Maybe V3?

Tough start for me...

It is very cool indeed! A big move to a right crimp and a nice rock over move with some neat foot work! Very sharp and painful for my skin but satisfying! Probably harder for small people

Need to figure out what to do with the slopper.
