Ascensioni in Paynes Ford

This is an AWESOME climb!!! I top roped it and it felt committing and pumpy then went for the lead send and it went! The start is so cool and quite burley but with good holds and after the 3rd clip feels quite desperate being pushed out but it was an epic climb so much fun

I struggled with the first move off the ground! Then going from first to second clip was committing! Bill went with left hand up to the scoop/crack but I couldn't go that way so twisted in with a drop knee and went up with the right! Very fun, felt harder than a 17 at the bottom!

Small dog at the start for me

Stoked to get the send on this! Was a battle. Maduro put the draws up and had the good idea to go back down to the lie down rest after clipping the 3rd bolt

Found this hard today

Still tricky

Cool holds. The pump really gets you just as it gets crimpy

Great endurance climb. I pumped out and messed up the cruxy moves near the top. I think it'd go though

Nice juggy climb even though it's dirty

I fell at the last move to the anchor! A pity it's so dirty at the bottom, as it has very interesting features and moves. Maduro got stuck not knowing where to go at the top. Turns out you can stay right at the tufa, get an undercling on the tufa and get to a good edge by the last bolt

Awesome headwall. Gotta be 3 stars just for the position

Cool climbing up a tufa and corner. I found this tricky with slippery feet. Fell at the last tricky move

Tricky steep crimps (where I pumped out 😢), then epic uber exposed juggy overhang

Nice techy climbing

Making progress. Feels doable

Nice pumpy climbing

2nd go. Fluffed about too much on the first 😂

4th go

So good. If Skiing Off A Convex Slope gets 26 then surely this should too
