Ascensioni in Passchendaele State Forest

Used the kneebar to do a comp style match on the undercling. No idea how to pull into the undercling without that.

2nd go, foot pop. Very nice. Starting jug is flexing a lot

The rock on top of both problems on this bloc is pretty rotten, take a bit of care

Haven't tried this for years, wend down pretty fast today in perfect conditions

Interesting and tricky mantle.

Couldn't handle the height with no proper pads. Such a cool boulder.

Thin as.

This thing is sick. So stoked to finally get it.

Happy to get this one out. Doubt anything has broken since Peter-Crane's guide. So V4?

Bottom-most undercling has broke off. The other two still remain.

Had my best outdoor climbing experience ever on this bloc, definitely deserves classic status.

Found this climb a bit cryptic, satisfying once I figured it out.

Do keep in mind the easiest/safest way back down from this boulder is to downclimb this climb.

Think I may have found new beta/hold. Directly above the crux sloper (in from the lip) there is a straight down pull sloper. I used this for the crux, instead of the usual crux sloper. Makes the first LH move a bit bigger, but the following RH bumps felt much more secure. Made the crux doable for me.

Spent ages cleaning this up but couldn't really put it together. Can reach the lip from the undercling on the right standing on the little ramp, just couldn't climb into it from the ground. Should be possible for strong peeps

Flopped over the mantle like a beached whale and bruised a couple of ribs, making it pretty hard to climb anything else for the whole trip. Time well spent...

Harder than it looks. 2nd go

Still nope. Fkin thing. Made some progress at least

Pretty snappy these two, take care
