Ascensions de The Extractor comme croix de types variés

Loving the autumn conditions. Another day another attempt on the eternal project

Conditions much better. Starting to feel good on the first rail, speed is key. Finding locking off about 90 degrees or a little higher is good

High gravity day

Struggling at the crux

Felt surprisingly good on this and hit a new highpoint? Lowpoint because it's a traverse?

Half crimping instead of 3 finger drag seemed to help a lot. Also bringing my body around and max arm lockoff for first move.

Downside is I'm far enough into the climb I need another pad

Session 5

Getting quicker with the micro adjustments - right hand and feet, adjust left hand.

Still not sure what causes me to hit the rail amazingly vs swing off.

Next moves feeling more doable

Making progress. Micro beta of pulling left hand closer before matching. Also locking off right about 90 degrees and minimising swing. Once I match moving the right hand quickly to the next hold

Made good progress, stuck the first hard move by locking off on right arm

low feet & crimping branches

Stills close to an accurate definition of "impossible".

Progress...my fingers are destroyed and there is no sign anymore of my pride, but at least I was able to match hands on that first move, I need to be quicker if I want to be able to stick it. When this goes it is going to feel good!

Veeeeery hard move to start and match the hands in an almost non existing crimp without space between you and the ground. Needs some work...

Matched on the first tiny crimp and got the next move once. Really hard!

After seeing Phil's beta video this now makes sense...still very fingery though. Pulley tendons survived but I couldn't quite get the crux.

Feeling really week today. Getting spanked on this thing.
