Red pointed 2 routes.
29 ★★★ Bogus Machismo — 4 attempts — Mega Classic
A dream come true! Started the day with zero expectations after feeling a bit of elbow tendinitis flare up, almost didn’t have a final burn as I needed to rush home to the family, then all of a sudden I was clipping the chains! Shifting to the left knee bar at the second rest was a game changer as I could actually recover properly before the back to back cruxes at the end. Beyond stoked to have completed this milestone in my NZ climbing career!

Oh yeah! I had confidence you would get it pretty quickly
David Jefferson replied 25 days ago.
I appreciate the confidence! It took me 22 goes, so close to my longest project to date. Could work a lot harder though!
Alexei Drummond replied 25 days ago.
Seems about right I would have predicted 16 goes, 95% range [9,24] assuming that 25 is your 50% flash grade.
David Jefferson replied 25 days ago.
Sounds like your model is well calibrated! Wonder how hard I could send if I gave something 100 goes 🤔?
Alexei Drummond replied 25 days ago.
Sadly it ramps up (unless you get better as a climber). Assuming you are currently at 50% flash on 25, then grade 31 would take 49-80 tries and grade 32 would take 106-151 tries.

Time for a season long siege of Space Boy I reckon!

Why not! You might surprise yourself. You have a feel for cave-style climbing now
