Past Ascent

The flash was going well until I arrived at the pocket and suddenly felt it come alive and start crawling all over me. Given the name of the climb I decided it was a good idea to remove my hand from the hold. Upon which, hundreds of big black ants started raining down. Since I hadn't registered they were ants yet I got quite the fright. Was fine 2nd go as I crimped around the aforementioned pocket

Could only do this problem with the higher slopes, which didn't seem right. Tried on the lower holds too but couldn't quite make it work

Took ages to figure out the start. Couldn't fit into the knee bar. But a toe and heel hook did the trick

Hottest day i've climbed through

Fun moves through the traverse. Seems there are a few ways to tackle it. Then easy up on kinda chossy rock to top. This is what worked best for me:

First climb of the day. Effectively a one mover the way I did it, beta at the end of this vid:

Campus is the way to go at the top!

Great line (2)

2nd go. Great climbing.

Definitely not a 7.

Downgraded to better reflect the difficulty of all climbs in the sector.

Sit start is burly and powerful and awesome at the same time.

Adds a lot of pump before joining the original stand start line.

Probably used my knees a bit too much

The warm up

Bumped off undercling

Is good.

Beautiful line! Worth a hike down in the dark at 7pm on a school night. A must try line! Great find.
