Ascensiones en North West por Niko Eltarenko

A quick warmup and a warmdown lap. Quite easy for my bodytype.

Damn. Tried so many different ways. None of them better than the others. Might be still slightly above my paygrade for the time being.

Lapin' to warm up.

V5 if you're short. Tried 8 different ways all together. Most ways resulted in my knee hitting the roof or my torso whacking against the upper lip. Found an undercling in the roof; one arm bicept curl brought the send home.

Ha! Almost flashed it. Again that bloody long shared throw at the end got me. This micro crag is like being stuck on an island with really rare Pokemon. Trying to catch them all with only a few crappy pokeballs and no way of getting more.

Abysmal failure all round today. 6th day in a row climbing and 2hrs pumping iron last night proven to me that I should have just taken a rest today. We live and we learn; or you know, perceiver with ignorance.

A couple of goes. I feel like a right hand throw may be better than the left, but is bloody hard to achieve. Will try a different way next time.

Quick couple of ascents but with a different beta from Matt. I like it!

Raining today. Figured a way to get to the ramp now. Now have some funky knee jam/pull beta. May been able to send it if all the stars aligned. We'll see!

Warm-up. A little pumpy

Ran out of light; got the right beta for the ramp topout; tried the problem from the start once but couldn't completely link it up. I like it!

I can not remember the last time I had this much fun working a problem. Excellent. A little bit sad that its now over. Moving on to fat woman now; (the problem).

Super acrobatical. Love working this problem. Can now link it all the way from the campus break to the end. Will be sent!

What a magnificent roof! Completely in my style. Plus completely dry in today's light drizzle. All the moves have been done. Now to link this beast!

The description does not lie. Indeed fantastic! Unfortunately it started to rain as soon as I figured out the beta; although wouldn't have mattered as my fingertips were very raw from RnR. Even scarier than the other two; must buy a second Mat or get bouldering friends that don't work weekdays.

Jug hauling at its best.

The latter part of the traverse is tricky. Must put the heel hooks in perfect position; once your feet cut loose you will scrape the floor!

Really enjoyable! Recommended! P.S. I used a heel hook on the lower hold off towards the left. I'm assuming that it's okay and there are no special 'no feet'/'no heel hooks' rules.

Taxing on the digits. Took a while to commit due to variable landing and no spotters. Last two holds are choss city otherwise would have been an excellent problem. The v5 is the better option.

It turns out that I'm at my peak 4 days into a stubborn cold. Did this one solo and absolutely loved it. Without anyone spotting me from bellow the topout was scary as hell. 3 Stars are spot on! Do it!

Had a quick look at this problem after my warmup as I didn't have to move any of my gear. Imho the standing start is far better. I had to fold the mat over in order to even reach the first hold. The mono finger slot is just waiting for a pulley rupture. Not really worth it

Very good. But over too soon!

It's a bit weak for the digits. I might give this a V4 rating. Did it in 35' heat in 100% humidity while sweating like a $2 Brooklyn hoe on a New Years day. I slightly rebounded off the boulder next to the problem when my feet flung forward. It would't have mattered but decided to make this one a dog and tick it properly next time.

It's much, much better than it originally looks. The topout was more than a little tricky in 35' 100% humidity.

Makes the mantles at Blues Point a bunch of VB's!

Will admit; read the map wrong and ended up here thinking its a warmup V1. Got up to the high heel hook and my hand on the intermidiate side crimper. Just don't have it in me to get to the solid hold higher.

Fantastic!
