Ascensiones en Right Fork como Red point

Got it!

Found this pretty stiff for 18. Gloriously steep.

Soooooo good

Putting rope up for kate

I found this brutal. I had to do a full euro drop knee at the crux. besides all that awesome steep crack climbing. second shot.

Powerfull little number, but it still goes

Finally went after the last attempt had me climbing a waterfall.

Stoked to place the gear this time, even found some flow on this send! Had to make it look fun for the uninitiated. I think a great testpiece for aspiring roof crack climbers, that takes both mind and body round the twist

Had done this one for ages

Lessons learnt: Figure out key movement rather than throwing oneself at it hoping it’ll just work out. Sat on rope, worked out crux beta and then sent!

Thanks for the send belay Nut Busting Unicorn 🥳

After an ill-fated but honest try-hard onsight attempt on a previous day which shamefully devolved into an aid mission to get the gear back, came back a few days later after licking my wounds and then covering them in tape and chalk and got the send. Found a kneebar which eluded me on the onsight shot. Stoked as. Such a hidden gem. Stout at the grade though.

One more shot.

The very first outdoor rock climb I ever saw. Nostalgic to be able to send, and with the same person I first saw lead it too.

Much better when you know the beta and where to chuck in your gear.

Jumped on it 2 years ago and got spanked. Easy this time, nice to see improvement.

We worked out the moves and the gear which made it like a sport route. nice pumpy crux then it's all over

Repeat

Very fun, cut up my hands at the start, retreated and put on my aid gloves

Also onsighted on second last time I was here so claiming a redpoint

Retro-onsight

Enjoyable in a type 2 fun kinda way

Sharp AF. Did not enjoy! The jams would be a lot more pleasant with some tape at the very least. King Rat was a thousand times better

Continuing my new trend of seconding a climb - loving it - then coming back to lead the next day. So fun. Kneebars for days

Think I've seconded this before. Great gear, great climbing

Had this dialled down to pre-racked gear and could recite the sequence like they were dance moves after several attempts on lead and second in the previous days. (Also properly fell on gear I had placed for the first time. YAY!) A climb that will cut you down for flailing and being inefficient (get those feet sorted). I know it says "made easier by a few face holds" but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's made easier by a few jams, only one of which I really needed to make active. Watched a couple of people climb only on face holds prior to my send and holy bollocks the climb looks nails AF on only face holds. Thanks cheer squad (J & N) (27.04.2017)
