Ascensões em Black Rocks

Chickened out of a move that didn't need to be that difficult 😭

Spicy first few moves. Found the beta only afterwards.

Last climb -- was a bit tired. Took about 3 tries to figure the moves above the eye.

First climb here, learning the rock. The desert varnish is slick!

5.8+

Tricky over the bulge.

After accidentally leading Oh Shit, decided I should do a second 10b on purpose. One where I couldn't trick my way around any of the moves.

Thought this was a 5.10a, so went after it 3rd (had done a couple 5.8s here). It was considerably stiffer than those, especially with the very steep start. Hand-jams definitely helped at the start, though. Did some stemming in the upper bits, which might have been off-route.
