Ascents in Pendergrass-Murray Recreational Preserve (PMRP) by Lee Cujes

Was a rest day, but at about 3pm, decided to walk up the hill and have a quick go. Good move, as it turns out. Four goes in 2012, four this trip. [8]

Gets gradually easier as you go. My Golden Boy warm-up, lol.

Decided to get back on this after some tries in 2012.

Fell on the crux sloper, before seeing Dru's alternate beta which I quickly stole.

Fell due to poor accuracy on crux, then immediately to the top, feeling great.

Surprisingly cool, exposed, and engaging for its admittedly short length.

Repeat warm up.

Warm up. Tricky start?

Similar to Whip-Stocking but more technical - a super project route at the grade. Classic!

Just keeps on coming at you for a happy, arm-burny feeling.

This was pretty average. Inconsistent, with some semi-dangerous runouts. I don't see many 10c climbers getting up this.

Short, but cool moves - and quality crimping for a change!

Not so good, especially in muggy/muddy connies.

This is the pick of the wall.

Definitely a step up from Jingus.

Damp. Pumpy!

One burn. Primarily working on first crux. To top with a stick. 75% humidity and HOT. Sorted kneebar.

Two burns. 80% humidity. Hideous. Broke my phone.

Surprised this was overlooked for so long.

Repeat. Still good.

Almost off this crimpy thing. No clipping hold for one bolt. Pouring rain.

Worst bolts I saw in the Red. Needs urgent rebolt before someone dies. Apart from the bolts, it's great, even in the rain.

Weird arete. Belayed Dunc on this earlier in the trip.

Final route of the trip OS attempt. Came off the beginning of the headwall up top.

In no universe would this be 13a. It's solid 13b/8a at least. Harder than the 13b's and c's I've been on here. Looks easy from the ground. You have to actually pull hard. Very un-RRG.

Sam killed this! So good. It felt like 23 to me. 20 degrees sustained overhung and split finger pockets.

Fluffed crux.

Sam flashed this today - super effort. Steepo top section.

Got my arse handed to me.

One of my biggest onsight fights of the trip on this thin, techo, sustained wall climb. Unfortunately didn't come away with it - fell up high.

Thumper pocket pumper.

Nice long orange wall and plates.

Arete.

Arms died before the crux.

Just didn't happen today - a shame, but you can't win them all.

This is pretty awesome eh? I bet lots of people fall on the final moves in true RRG fashion. It's a heartbreaker up there.

I didn't particularly like this.

Desperate slab to reachy lip encounter.

I earned a foot massage for successfully doing this slab in sneakers. Worth it.

Monique's route! Bolt to bolt working it out.

Got up to the business but was smoked! Some veeeery hard clips. Didn't bother Jon Cardwell who casually onsighted it

Tricky start off the ledge, then lurvely plate climbing.

Now THIS one! This one was something else.

The attractive overhanging flake. Kneebars. Tried and failed on the extension.

Cobwebs - never a good sign! Should be at least 5.12c.

Kinda hard. Good though!

Actually really interesting.

End of day smoked!

Heartbreaker. I dicked it up and fell at bolt 2. Lowered off. Rested. Then went back up all the way to the top. Super adventurous 30m long, 14 clips, 10m overhung. [2]

Crimps and pockets.
