Ascents of Old Man Of Hoy

I watched Alexei, the bomb beta finder, quite carefully on his onsight attempt and so the flash ended up feeling quite easy to me (although I was pretty stretched out on the move at the bottom off the crimp rail to a sharp crimpy sidepull on the right). Climb is crimp to crimp up an arête (I ♡ arêtes!) A couple high feet and a nice crossover move to a jug 👌🏼

First attempt. Got all the beta pretty easily but it needed a clean and I couldn’t commit to the jug off heel hook and small crimp on first go.

Redpoint! #2ndGo Beautiful roped boulder problem Sadly the new anchor position means you don’t need to top out which takes a couple moves out of the climb. Top it out for full value
