攀登 in Camels Hump

Brushed but too wet.

hard..

Started with left hand side pull and right hand thin pinch. The super low start is a bit out of my ability for now. This could go, but it’s nails.

I managed to make my way up this boulder yesterday! I first looked at this 5 years ago when I was climbing V3. I’ve touched the holds and tried to pull on a few times over the years and had built it up in my head as being impossible. I tried it again a month ago, realised it might in fact be possible, and 6 sessions later I was standing on top. It’s the most effort or energy I’ve put into a climb, I had such an enjoyable experience working on it, and I’m incredibly proud to have put it together!

Opened the account on this one today. Can confirm it’s very hard 😅 Managed to unlock the first move with a bicycle toe scum thing but couldn’t quite stick the bump to the jug. Exciting to have a new project so close to home!

All moves done, worked the cruxes, start needs a scrub up, but link attempts soon.

The first part adds some punch. Project for the summer.

After 8 sessions in the past 2 months it finally went down today with many of the Melbourne bouldering crew there for psyche and fantastic conditions. First at the grade. Psyched to send this. The eliminated holds at the start make it a touch contrived, but the moves it creates are great. Adding the start to the 9 is deceptive, doesn't seem like much, but really turns this into an anaerobic capacity problem.

Sent a while back just forgot to tick. One of my favourite v10s.

Sick. Enlisting in the Mind Wars now.

omg yay!!

I find HD going left to be way harder.

Yay, fun to work the beta. Moreso than most other climbs, and the moves are sick and very uncommon due to the traversey nature of the problem. Psyched I got this one

Loved this problem. Very shouldery, burly problem and most of all a fun line

Siiiiick

Finally figured out the first move! Sick problem!

Don’t think it’s a v10. Sick v9 though. Shoulder and powerful.

Better than the original. The dyno makes the problem a more solid v9... technical dyno.

Did the stand start from the LH crimp and RH crimpy pocket - suggested as V4/V5 so I’ll take V4. Heaps of tension and body position, the full thing looks wild

3rd time on it. Getting close to holding the first move. Managed to get it in one link from after that move today.

Using the foot jug. Next is the 9!

feels better than i expected

Done in two parts as HD and the extension. Extension movement is lovely.

Including this from research and references to it on other problems listed here as being V9.

Went down today after a few burns to link into straining rail. Used the SR kneebar. Really enjoyed the movement. Have to have a crack at Life During Wartime now.

ATW - simply finished at end of Straining Rail.

First of the grade. Great extension to humpty and makes the line feel more satisfying and complete.

V4 version

Jesus, the first move?!? Everything else went quickly enough...

Went first go from the start!

Super close on this, hopefully next time

V7 version. First move is more consistent now. Just need to link it now.

Yeah, nah. Could pull on... but moving from the position feels insanely far off. RH 2-finger pocket is not fun at all.

V7 version

Pretty unexpected send... just wanted to dial the moves into Straining Rail before calling it. LOVE the sequence getting into SR, but man does it add some spice to that line - had to fight for it.

Stand start

Day flash! First V9

Did the stand. Got close on the 7.

did the standstart, so v5, fun

got the v8 and just continued out of momentum and sent the v9 as well on the same go

All feels doable but too tired at the end of the session.

Rad! tried it a handful of times over the last couple years and managed to put it together today
