Ascensioni in The Embankment

Yes Sir, this one is finally in the bag! Super stoked about picking up the send, all my tactics were on point today and i was feeling strong. Super happy all the work I put in has payed off.

Running warm-up laps on this one now.

Nice lil bit’a fun.

Even with the broken hold it feels the same, wouldnt give it an upgrade or downgrade. Maybe makes the stand a little easier though?

Mostly just dicking about and having a laugh, keen to give this a propper try at some point.

No send today, but I'm still making good progress and feeling confident I will send soon. Just not today unfortunately.

I would love to blame this or that as the reason I didn't send today, but I guess it just wasn't my day.

Fun traverse

I stuck the move! At only 168cm tall, for me , this move is a 3 points off dyno. The only thing stopping me from sending is a gash on my left heel that makes the next move too painful. I'm super stoked with todays effort, I'm so close I can freaking taste it.

Very tricky slab with very tiny feet and a nest of bull ants half-way up the problem next to a crucial hold. As a shorter climber, it felt more in the V4 range.

Literally stood there for a few minutes just practising jumping to and holding the pinch, with surprisingly good results. I can hold the move, so I'm super stoked.

Barefoot send

V0 my ass 🤣

Watching Byron work this problem was a real inspiration. My own efforts weren't as amazing, I will blame the rain this time. 😅

Fun dihedral, with a relatively blank top out.

Got all the beta locked in thanks to some helpful tips from the man himself, Glen Hayford. I'm starting to feel super close on this.

A dope little roof climb, which is quite rare for Harvey's. Feels like a good solid V4, had to evict some bull ants from one of the starting crimps on the roof.

I spent the session working on the starting moves, and I am happy with the progress I made today but I am still struggling to link the top and bottom sections together. I feel my left foot needs to be higher, but I just can't seem to find an appropriate foothold.I must be missing something...

Got all the moves locked in and feeling smooth.

Actually, a really nice problem, the right balance of small holds and tricky footwork. The only downside is squeezing between two small trees to do the problem.

I can see where I need to go, but having trouble finding start holds.

Still having trouble linking the sit start of "N.W." into "Screamer" need to spend a dedicated session working on the link.

Got all the moves committed to memory in preparation for "Norwegian Way". Got the send 3 minutes before a rain cloud opened up on top of me.

I really enjoyed this boulder. First V5 for the season 😃
