Armeos Afternoon | ||||||
7b ~7c | ★ Hot Potatoes - with Sammi | 22m, 12 | ||||
Got on this specifically to get punished, and that did happen. However I will say that I think a key hold has crumbled away affecting the crux sequence. It's the inset, circular crimp up and right of the potatoes. The heavily manufactured holds on this route really need glue to stabilise them.

Guggenheim Grotta | ||||||
7c Easy | ★★★ Kandinsky - with Sammi | 17m | ||||
The ill-fated wasp sting route. Put the gear on and was preparing to lower and got stung in the face. Huge full body allergic reaction, bailed for medical attention. Still need to go get the gear off - that'll be exciting! May need Epipen instead of brush on chalkbag. 7c R/X

Overnight rain and drizzle in the morning. No wind. 85% humidity. Burn 1 shaky to ledge, fell on crux 2, then climbed from the bolt to the top clean in the worst conditions. Almost as proud of this effort as a clean send.
- Burn 2 more confident. Fell crux 2, then for some reason my boots just started visibly sliding off the holds [17]

8a+ 8a+/b | ★★ Bate Skyloi Aleste - with Sammi | 30m | ||||
A brutal boulder leaving the 7a+, reminiscent of the Tiger Snatch crux -- a significant step up from anything I've tried in a long while. Left the gear on. Lowered off after 7pm.

32 | ★★★ Punks in the Gym - with Jake Bresnehan | 30m, 7 | ||||
Punks shot #2. Hot, face melting. Was mostly keen to experience the top section. Climbed clean to below the heel move, pulled through. Climbed from the rest and stuck the drive-by, couldn't stand up, then pulled through. Did the rest of moves, not nicely, with screaming skin. Then drive 11 hours home!

1.5 hours dogging around, experiencing a piece of climbing history. Did all moves up to and including the birdbath drive-by. Struggled after, didn't really get stood up. Also struggled on the lower heel move, kinda managed it once. Toasted by the time I lowered off. A 20+ year dream to get on this route.

I was quietly proud to onsight the first 20m with no feeling in my fingers. I'd done the hard climbing, but fingies ceased to open or close, making climbing difficult. Warmed up and went to top. Will go back for it.

Yeeees. "23!" = 26, says I. The roof is surprisingly unobvious on the onsight and if your brain is telling you it's only 23(!), it's really setting you up to fail. Think 26 and go for it. And above that, it's not over.

Attempted ground up. Definitely out of my comfort zone. Slipped out of the wet initial boulder and that was that. Then climbed from the ground to the crux (placing gear) and fell on the crux, unsurprisingly. Took some effort to unlock the crux move. Then to top, placing gear with a couple of rests. Was en route for well over an hour.
