Ascents in Santa Linya

Crappy end

Second shot on a 6b+ I must be getting weak.. Not a very good warm up with a hard crux early and some sharp holds, glad the arvo got better from here on.

Looks good from the ground but is a pretty average climb, there is some fun movements between jugs but also a fair bit of glue holding all of it together.

Better rock on this one and some great climbing, climbs up into a cave for a rest then a hard couple of moves to reach the anchors.

Probably the best climb here because the rock felt like the blue mountains sandstone. Felt pretty soft and fun.

Good rock on this one and some really sustained spots. It wanders around a fair pity following the good holds. I had a real fight at the top, almost came off.

I think some of the 6b+ routes here are a bit sand bagged? Maybe it was just the end of the day pump. Had to run out the top slab as I was one draw short.

It sux ever much when your planned warm up becomes your all day fail fest Cool juggy climb but just couldn't link the top crux. It's a sad day when I can't red point a 7a.

The easiest climb at the crag still feel hard today, my head was just not in the game.

Here I was thinking that I could climb tufa's.... Fail! Dogged it to the third bolt then gave up. I have a lot to learn about climbing steep limestone. Highlight of the day was watching Dani Andrada climb 7c in socks.

Had an onsight shot. Close. Powerful and fingery. Tad soft for 8a though.

Right sequence Wrong way to hold the hold.

Cool climbing. Fingery.

Dont miss the clip halfway up. It is there.

Climbs like Rifle.

Cool movement thru the tiny crux.

EPIC fail today. Would be a nice warmup if it wasnt soooo polished. Attempted 8a+ but shutdown a few moves on the headwall. About 4 shots a think. Very cold and windy day.

Hardest thing I've done since ruining my shoulder. Felt pretty good - I think the rehab is working. Route was cool - very thin crimping start to a rest ledge. Then an overhanging crimp ladder for about 6 bolts. I just held it together.

One night, two girls: English, Spanglish.

Two hard moves, jug. Two hard moves, jug. Fun.

Looks like pox from the ground but climbs really well. Bang on for 6b+.

The bright orange rock on this looks and is quite amazing. Cool cracks and features, and a lil bit powerful.

Blew the onsight stupidly! Didn't see the damn pocket! Came down pulled the rope tied in sent... BOOF!

down to 1 sit

really cool route

ohhhh its sooooo close

Gave it a shot and fell at the last bolt.

Warm up 2

Warm up 1

Had to have a go and got shut down at the fifth draw

Had a shocker on this......some days are diamonds....this one was stone

Climbed this better on the onsight attempt the other day, couldn't string a sequence together at all.....disappointed :-(

This was the warm up
