攀登 in Sandy Caves

Probably the best line of the boulders on the beach. The stuff on the other side was pure sand. I think the original start hold has come off but plenty of slopey options to start on the right side of the boulder

A little too wet atm.

Took a few gos to get a clean send, cheeky!

Barefooted. Nice problem

Shallow water solo at high tide

I escaped the squid tube but all I want to do is go back

Best I could do with my arm in a cast haha

So much fun. Reminds me of an easier version of Flash Gordon.

Err, sort of - dabbed on random rock to side to quickly dodge incoming tide water during sit-start..

Rough surface. Almost worked out last move before slicing through index finger, had no tape with me, so moved onto more slope'y things..

First half is really nice balance'y palm-press slab mantle thing on solid-enough ~rock. Took many (10-15?) attempts to get the movement. Second half felt very committing - quite high up standing on sloping gritty ledge, pad occluded from view by the angle, and holds become a combination of large barely-compacted-sand blocks and loose pebbles (felt fairly secure carefully using the backs of the largest chunks to get up, but pretty sure none of them would take much weight). Hard to be sure of grade - the mantle is probably high V2ish but given the commitingness of the second half then V3 seems reasonable

Easy climb but would be a dicey fall down the sand paper walls.

Took me about 6 shots befor I found a pretty obvious heel hook that made the move a lot easier.

Got it first go. Too easy when fresh, and knowing where to plonk my hooves.

Warmup for Taken From Behind. Got it in one.

Quite difficult to nail the mid-cave flip.

Looking forward to nailing this route. Some cool moves and a tad bit of arm pump.

Got the bottom moves worked out. Struggled with the final top out move. One to work on.

Always enjoy this boulder. Lots of fun hanging moves.

A nice bit of tension, for a lowly hacker like me.

Good fun, especially the mid cave flip, and exit mantle.

Did laps to try different methods.
