攀登 in Centennial Glen

Don't think it deserves the 8a grade. 7c+ looks more appropriate for this. Anyway, a good one. Nice boulder problem with a tricky end. 🫡🫡

Went comfortably second go after remembering my beta. Feels way better when you’re not sick

Should have gone on first red point, but when going for the side pull after feet fuckery my shoe peeled off my ankle and dragged me back off the side pull. Tried again from there and went the rest of the way to the top with no sits, so confident it won’t take much to put away

Fell 3 or 4 times at the top crux working out some feet, heel hook worked but killed me trying to release it going for the cut, heel kept dragging and taking my power. In the end toe on the big hold instead of the heel worked way better

First lap I skipped the start and was trying to sort clipping beta in the scoop but struggled so came down.

Second lap I skipped the start again and kind of sorted beta for the scoop then put the rest of the draws up.

Third lap, fell on the starting move, went too far!

Lowered to immediately try again, didn’t feel confident but hung on for dear life and managed to get the send!!! Didn’t even use the clipping beta I came up with! Super stoked!!

Had to come back after falling off the top last time. First lap to brush and check beta on the top jugs.

Sent confidently on the second lap! Awesome! First 27.

Could’ve flashed it but got scared at the top. Top holds are all jugs.

Got so pitted.

Quick run at the end of the day to set up a top rope.

First go to work out a bit more micro beta, second go to finish the crux, not rest and punt. Third go to clean draws. Next time?

Starting to become the warmup, feeling more chill with every lap

Good fun

Bolting is a bit dangerous. Put a long draw so I could clip at the crux

Managed to do both cruxes today. Stocked! Time to start linking

First time pulling on rubber lover since being able to actually work 25’s, all moves felt really solid but weather today was terrible and the rain and thick fog were making the slot wetter and slipperier each burn. So confident should only take a lap or two in better conditions to put away. Real nice takeaway that the crimps below the anchor the first time I ever pulled on I couldn’t hold them for the life of me, now they feel pretty good!

Cool boulder up high. Pretty diabolical though. Second shot

One hard move, cool route though

Pretty crimpy

Good to clean up this old dog

Nice warmup. Made it a little harder for myself by staying direct on the arete

Ugly start then good
