About 12 attempts, on opening move. Will try to sit low and smear left with reach up to arrete with right. Noticed others beta find left hand crimp above and left of where my left was pressing.
Hard first and third moves that feel more like crux moves on other 8/9s in the Gramps. Great climbing. Should get more traffic especially now that there’s a decent landing.
Got all the good betas from the boys but stepped out left for the top out and dropped off. So apparently can’t actually claim the tick. #GoodBouldersDropOff
Feels very very fun. Just fell at the end of the crux. Spicy whip to the first bolt...decided to come back - should send next time.
James made it look stylishly easy.
Have had 2 or 3 days with 1-3 pull ons, last burn I managed to go to the top and went clean from the ground through the first crux, if I go back and can remember any beta it'd be nice to finish this off
Had some marginally better temps and used compressions instead of crimps with the right hand, made a good high point but got scared and would like to try the top on a rope first but possible with good conditions
ah so close to the onsight, asked for a rest already past the crux below the last bolt just because i didnt want to risk a fall on those super rusty and loose bolts. very fun climb
