Classic Jeffo move - did a TR lap to lock in the beta and accidentally sent. Will be back for a proper ascent, but still chuffed to figure it out quickly.

Took some time to figure out the best beta for both cruxes, pretty intricate.

Way, way too cold and windy. Couldn’t feel fingers or toes. Keen to return when my digits aren’t numb!

I enjoyed this one a lot more today with stiffer shoes and without a cold. Flows nicely, but contrived to stay on the face at the top.

Nearly got the linkup first go, but foot popped near the top. I actually enjoyed this more than Birth Canal, as it’s more varied.

Came close on both attempts, but couldn’t quite stick on. Not my style at all, but probably worth returning for.

Although the moves off the ledge through to the 3rd bolt are interesting, this route is marred by the fact that it is quite contrived, especially the top half where it would be silly to avoid the ledges out left. Served as a warmup in any case.

Nearly pulled off the onsight, with difficulty, but fell at the last bolt when I missed an obvious hold.

Managed to get it done second shot. This line serves up stonking stemming stances from bottom to top, with a bit of power and spice thrown in. Would be perfect I daresay once the holds (which to be fair are only 10 years old) clean up.
