3x attempts for this

2x attempts after sending The V7

Not sure I can call this a send as the sit start is super tall, even for me. Stand start send? Cool moves from the sloper rail to nice small pockets into a big finish.

Finally sent this bastard of a boulder

3 or 4 shots on this? Feels less than an 8 but I could be better at some of the moves vs the other 8s at Mt May

Probably one of the most scariest mantles I have done.

Scraped up my right forearm again for this. Is this what birth was?

Right after Nick's send. This one is delicious but will need some good mat placement and spotters.

4 Goes, needs a lot of brushing to remove that fine layer of mysterious slipperiness.

Project down along with 3 more ascents shortly afterwards!

Not for the feint hearted, small holds, smaller footholds that may pop!

Just missed the flash! Fell off the top whilst going for the third hold and just didn't grip it right. End result was landing sideways.

If this is a glory hole, its a damn sharp one and will make you sweat!

It still really feels like a V8, it has all the V8 moves and V8 holds and V8 technique. This V8 test piece still feels like the V8 I hopped on about 4 to 5 years ago minus the big V8 undercling start (RIP 2 hand, 2 pad goodness) which, in my opinion does not change the V8 start. Felt great watching mates work this V8 with an assortment of beta. Definitely would like to repeat this classic V8 every-time I visit this area just to make sure I have the White Rock style of V8 strength and V8 technique.

During the session, I fell off this V8 3 times trying to remember the correct beta before hitting the correct V8 sequence and topping out on the 4th go. Don't forget, this V8 still gives you some brown stains if you're not prepared for the V8 top-out.

I would highly recommend any V8 projectors, V8 climbers, and pretty much anyone who loves hard moves to come try this wonderful piece of V8 climbing.

Send-train! Little bit of beta talk after the first run and small marking of foots, anchors were clipped! Definitely inherited some Elvis legs on the second bolt!

Cleaning the gear off from the crew's attempts!

Run up to shake off the arms from bouldering. Second time for cleaning.

Great to have this one ticked off. Hepas of pads and spotters definitely helped the psyche of topping this out.

Finally got out to try out this line. Snagged this on my 3rd or 4th shot with an out of action index finger on my left hand. Couldn't have gotten it without some very crucial beta from Adnan.

The golden go, everything went exceptionally well.

Didnt expect to send this today. Pulled off the ground easily (at the cost of my fingertips) and opted to get this in the bag!

After 4 sessions, finally ticked this after falling from the anchors 3 out of 4 times. Good climbing with nice kneebars and a lot of grunts

Two shots to figure out the beta (and tried to onsight this climb but can you do?). Next two shots were for the send! Actually liked climbing this, felt nice on the left hand crimps and right hand pinches. Just needs more traffic on this bad boy.

The Easter weekend brought the treats! It was great working this over the months. I changed my beta over three times! Very steep, core intensive, and requires some tough mental work!

4x Shots this session. Nearly went on the 3rd go but instead of holding the left hand and right hand match before the anchor, slapped it hard and fell off.

4th shot did it all, minus the pre-ab workout at the end.

Sweet line on the right side of the boulder, classic crimping and good holds.

Awesome, finger shredding. Definitely had a few goes on this and had to scope out the crux. Heaps of fun!

Flashed with stealing Reagen's beta and moves.
