Ascents by Zac Schofield having Distinct route

WOOOOOOO!!! SOO STOKED! Seems like the training is paying off, felt super chill despite nearly dropping the end due to pre-send excitement.

Warmup send

HELL YEAH!!! First 26 super super stoked, absolutely sick climb if you like bouldering on a rope, felt super comfy on it today, fantastic conditions

Sit start warmup lap

Stoked, really fun climbing.

Had about 8 goes at the first move, went the second time I caught the move but only caught it with two fingers both times

Finally, such an amazing climb, my favourite of the South Central 26's and i think by far the hardest.

Funky and sharp, cool climbing but I’ve got no desire to do it clean

Absolutely amazing, had a lot of trouble commiting to getting up out of the roof, but with a bit more energy it shouldn’t be too hard

Rad route that sadly seems like more trouble than it’s worth, Kez and Pat worked out beta that works tho so might have to try it again

after being told about a hidden footer it feels way better, wouldve gone for a redpoint but the rubber on my kneepad was peeling off in the kneescum i use for the last hard move making it feel borderline impossible. With a proper kneepad i can see it going within a couple shots.

The inspection lap went really well, so when I didn’t even get a 3rd of the way up on the next attempt I was a bit confused. Next shot for sure 😉

2x working laps, awesome climb. Struggled to stick both the reachy/ cruxy moves but should be fine with some refinement in good wintery conditions.

3x laps, hurt my wrist on the 3rd move, once taped up I could still do the sequence but hurt way to much to actually have a redpoint. Pretty much every sequence is classic. Keen to get back on it. A little reachy at the start.

Worked up to the end of the traverse, super flash pumped, so much fun

Expected it to be nicer than it was, rather low friction holds to a holdable but rather heinous ‘crimp’, with the crux being more commiting and balancey instead of the expected brute force crimp strength

First boulder is sick, had no desire to try the head wall so bailed

Awesome roof climbing, dropped it at the end of the roof on the second shot. Keen to get back on it.

An exceptional extension, that pocket is just perfection. Cant believe im happy with making a climb longer but its good.

Excellent climb, love every move of it. Will take me some time to get consistent on the last sequence as it’s not my style.

2x laps, absolutely classic. Really keen to give this a shot in good conditions.

Actually really excellent climbing but really needs good conditions. Definitely 24 at best but I’ll take some free grades. Significantly easier and more friendly than butts of beef, but not a good one if you’re at your limit just because of the tree.
