Ascents of Procol Harum

Squeezed a send in just after Ashlee Hendy (sorry!) Her fault for giving me such good beta really. Ft. Rock solid gear from Mr. Glastonbury which also was part of the joke on me, cleaning it was harder than the climbing!

Lucky last?

so much fun, not nearly as thrutchy as i thought it would be.

Pretty psyched!

Exploratory lap to pull some hard moves, and with zero commitment as the gear was in. I did climb it very, very wrong it seems though, bouldering with great difficulty through sequences i subsequently saw absolutely styled through with knee-bars galore. I would like to come back to it one day. Generally pretty excellent but some of the worst rock on the Piles.

Fell just past the bolt! Finally worked out a sequence for the top crux.

Warm up

Felt pretty easy with the gear in, the beta, and knee pads

Thanks for the beta Robbie!

Arrgh! Trad climbing

Felt easy for the grade. Ended up using 7 knee bars, and three knee scums. Found a total of 12 knee bars though, I think. Cool.

Amazing route. Bloody hard for 26, apparently a hold broke through the roof.

Felt like 21 into a two move V6 into a cool 24 crack climbing to me. Yes I can knee bar!

Wow. What a route. Took 2 shots to figure out the beta, lowered off, stripped some of the gear and then sent first real attempt. Was pumped stupid at the top fingerlock crux and couldnt place gear, but made it to the anchor. Crazy weird araps climbing at its finest.

Fell off the last move!

The gear was in so we jumped on it. Super funky knee bar moves and awesome finger locking sequence at the top. Would love to try this again when the endurance is a little better.

Pulling out some gear on TR. Only fondled the first few holds.

Nice n hard in the roof, haven't been on it since. Nice top section though

Get on up it

siiick

3rd go. Funkiest route i've done for ages.

with the Simons - Mentz annd Carter
