攀登 of Swinging In The Rain

Cool crux and another binary beltah - fair at the grade, but a bit of a one sequence wonder as far as the grade goes

Happy with progress made. Crux is tough but found a way to move left foot into tricky hold in order to progress

3rd shot, 1st RP go after figuring out lip pull beta.

The beta: RF heel hooks pyramid while walking hands up on left sidepull until RH is on a crimp on top, toe LF to back of pyramid to make cut more controlled, cut feet and place RF on big edge on lip, throw RH to sloperjug. Then walk hands up and hold it together until the rest.

Really brawny somewhat inelegant crux beta, but it’s the first rock climb I’ve ever sent with an actual toehook, so that’s pretty cool!

Definitely feeling stronger than my last visit. If I can link the crux sequence next time, the climb will go.

Cleaning draws, unsent when I forgot all about my feet.

Didn’t remember anything from my send last time, but after actually falling and looking at the sequence, I should be able to remember beta for future reference!

Bouldery little roof but chill after that. Happy to finish it off this trip!

Fell getting around the bouldery lip, but stoked to do the rest clean!

Stoked to send first go today putting on the draws, didn’t remember a thing from 6+ years ago, wish I could claim the onsight! Very possible with the amount of chalk on this thing…

Good climbing the whole way and lots of rests too! Definitely on par with difficulty to Taxi Driver. No fancy beta just paste feet and throw?

Dog sesh, crux seems harder than taxi

One go hanging the drawers with one fall. All good second go with the downgraders on, for me the key was keening the knee in till full stablished on the holds then transferring to the left knee scum. But I was following an impressive flash form the couple who borrowed out drawers that didn't need either knee.

took a minute to work out hot to gain the face but could go next time - one attempt in the sun before seeking shade

This for me personally feels harder than both 26s I've done this week. Silly lip turns.

Foowhee! First flash 25. Watched Mike's beta like a hawk, added a few things of my own (including clipping the lip draw off a toe hook) and soaked up his shouts of beta through the crux. Chuffed that I kept it all together, balancing my commitment with my caution and clipping the anchors from the very top. Ice cream all around.

Gave the flash a go, not too far off. Super fun route. Should go down next shot.

Crux move over the lip was very satisfying to get!

1 go checking out the roof, another go checking out the rest and 1 attempt. Surprised myself pulling the moves on the lip, couldn't figure out the position to get stood up. Pulled back on and sent the rest.

Draws on, proper punt getting established over lip on 2nd attempt but the send go felt magical! Fantastic crux requiring a few different styles.

Beta: I got LF out wide on small edge to push up to LH crimp and then RF onto little, polished point.

First session - founds some workable beta for the crux using a high left foot on a tiny point. Really fun climbing!

First go putting the draws, felt super solid. And it went on second go. Happy with this tick, been on the list for a while. Javi smashed it in 2 goes too.
