등정들 North Sentinel에서

Hhhmmm....

No gear so top roped for a bit of fun.

Spotted the climb on a walk, came back and cleaned from top down, then went at first accent. Small and micro cams very handy here.

Look a meter or so above the tree for a handy crack at about eye level to set up the first belay station.

The heat made this feel so much harder.. after not being on it for so long glad i can still get to double kneebar rest before last boulder problem while putting draws on!

Few moves past double kneebar before last boulder problem to anchors

Just to the double kneebar this time

Massive sad trying to remember beta

Draws are down now, maybe i'll get back on this one day

Should put anchors in at the double kneebar and call it a 28 with Manic being an extension. Not sure what's harder climbing this route or cleaning

Great climbing on rusty bolts. Didn't inspire confidence.

Bulk jugs, bit of loose stuff

climbed in approach shoes (logging old ascents)

nice long climb

Lovely cruisey climbing.

I've been looking dreamily up at this climb since first going to the fish bowl a few weeks ago. It is just such a beautiful looking climb! So long and steep and pockety! I had a really fun time today jumping on it for the first time and having a bit of a play. Most of my time on it I was working out the bouldery bottom third. The rest of the climb looks amazing but I was a bit tired after figuring out the start to do any of those steep moves. I'm really super excited to start projecting this!

Working, working, working. 3 goes today. Each day I get on it there is progress, however small. My high point got a tiny bit higher today, I managed to do the pumpy middle pocket section clean for the first time and I have some new beta to try for the last few moves. Definitely still a ways off but I am thoroughly enjoying the process. I really can't get over how awesome this climb is

First time to Fishbowl - Thanks Monica! Cool climb, did all the moves except the last hanging from bolt to bolt. Too tired to reach last jug to clip anchors. 3 attempts today, climbing through a few clips on the 2nd and 3rd attempts while refining moves and determining cruxes & possible rests. Will take some work to link it all together, but thankful that I could reach every hold!

More projecting. Three goes today. Got up to the second last draw clean on one shot, a new high point! It feels like it's starting to come together now.

Two goes today. New high point clipping the last draw, stoked! Definitely just a matter of time now. I finally feel like I've worked it enough. Just need to climb efficiently so that I'm not too pumped to do the top and I think it will go. I'm really really really enjoying this climb so much, it is just such a fun route.

Projecting. 2 shots today. Fell low first go. Second go reached my previous high point at the last bolt. Spent some time today sussing out alternative sequences for the last bolt to the anchors. I have some freshly stolen beta that will hopefully make these last few moves possible when I'm pumped! Looking forward to getting back on it hopefully soon! Maybe with this new sequence it can actually go for me!!

More attempts today, had 3 shots. So close on my first go, fell above the last draw. Futher away on my second and thrid. Once again I have some new beta for the top! The best and easiest feeling beta I've had so far. Heading back this Saturday, feeling and hoping that it is very close to going.

Honesly I thought this climb might happen for me on Saturday but after another 3 shots it was still a project. Fell off low first go, up high second and pretty much everywhere on the third. Thankfully it is just such a ridiciously awesome route that I couldn't even try to be frustrated about it. I was just looking forward to my next day on it.

So stoked! Definitely feels like the hardest thing I've ever done I don't think I could have picked a better line for my first 28. This climb is just so damn lovely for a list of reasons too long to write here. Many thanks to Liam and Kim for their belays, midweek or weekend trips and encouragement/beta sharing.

Sussing this out for a new project and it's a gooden for sure Nice boulderish moves at the start followed by a pockety/juggy traverse that leads in to a fun crux that has nice holds. Didn't have a go at the top this time but it looks great too. Three goes today playing around on the first 2/3rds.

Happy days getting back to play around on this climb some more. Two goes today. Almost managed to do the first 2/3rds clean but fell off just at the end of the crux section. Still haven't looked at or climbed the top 1/3rd, this is my goal for next time.

2 more working goes. Got two bolts closer to the top, only one more bolt and the anchor to work. Fun, fun, fun! The moves getting to the last bolt will be a little bit exciting I think!

Just one go today but excitingly lots of progress made. Managed to sort out how to get to the last bolt and so also got to clip the anchors for the first time. Turns out these last few moves aren't too bad at all, just a bit heady for me initially. I did fall at the crux too but it felt really fine after just one quick second off. Knowing now that I can actually do the top will really help me commit now, I think!
