Ascents by Jonathan Bright

P1 mildly terrifying in the vertical crack. Lucky I still had a blue cam. P2 traverse was the hardest thing I've ever done OMG terrifying. Maybe did it wrong?

Accidentally went left too early on Horseman. A bit scary and didn't extend enough, so much rope drag.

Kate did mock lead and I checked placements

Roof is a bit tricky

Too exhausted, gave up after first few moves.

Attempted direct campus start 5.10a variation. Can heel hook but can't reach the next hold. Maybe fresh?

Normal 8 variation from the right around the arête clean.

Again to top out and move rope

Some tiny holds. Went up left block to get onto wall. Anchor was at Nutmaster though.

One hard move over the roof. No great holds, fell and got pulled up. Tried again after a break and still couldn't. Very tired after these attempts.

Fell. Wet crack too slippery.

Decent. Some moves. TRonsight.

pink one? lol no.

black gunks wall all chalked up

purple boomerangs balcony cove

pink balcony cove

Uhhhhhhh. Not very confident in the protection on P1. Good thing it's easy. P2 surprisingly good at the end, hardest thing I climbed today. Started raining at crux.

Cool climb, not scared at all

Cool!

New yellow lead with big donut and big handle, kind of crimpy, was slipping off at points

green crimps up overhang

blue is impossible

yellow craters not first attempt

Yellow cones, fell off first hold but otherwise clean

red slopers in hallway

blue crimp pinches in hallway

Orange in hallway

Green pinches, ledge is on

Fell once but got to the top. Should have gone right earlier before the overhang.

lol fail. can make a few moves in isolation.

Second time clean to top out

Wacky awkward top part

Clean with crack gloves

Fell at the crux. Can kind of hand jam at the crux.

Over middle of bulge is cool move

Failed at overhang

Some tricky moves

lol. Belayed from right of two trees on Dennis ledge? Got the two confused on the topo.

A few crux moves. P2 was a bit wet, and I went over the angled overhang instead of through it.

Above first tree was wet and slippery, so we bailed (and returned blue Metolius locker to the wild).

pink pinches

orange crimps lead climb

black

pink overhanging

gray

orange

Merry ceremony red overhanging

Bulbous Ridge purple, not as hard as I expected

blue left

black corner

Rested once. Could probably have flashed if it weren't so dark and I could see the feet. 😢

Led with some pre-placed gear but backed up some of it and added my own. Not as bad as CC Route. Belayed follower from above.

Pretty difficult. Wouldn't want to lead yet. We used the big ring for belay and rappel, but don't do that. Go higher and there is spot for gear anchor. Big cam isn't necessary, but is a good idea.

Such a mess. Couldn't do 2nd move. Stupidly thought I didn't need big cams and left them behind. Had belayer send up two C4s on accessory cord so I could finish it.

purple in corner

red with big roundular holds/volumes, can't finish even on top rope

red progressive with big roundular holds/volumes

on side wall, forget color

yellow giant circle

Black angular holds, felt sketchy
