Ascents by Jason Nguyen having Distinct route

Not the best conditions for this today, but somehow managed to send it putting on the (upper) draws! Very surprised but stoked!

Just keep crimping the life out of the holds and you’ll get there!

Had to send something after the abysmal efforts today, first time in 10+ years while putting the draws up; how this gets the same grade as other 25s on Main Wall is baffling.

Great sequence and holds though!

Stoked to send first go today putting on the draws, didn’t remember a thing from 6+ years ago, wish I could claim the onsight! Very possible with the amount of chalk on this thing…

Good climbing the whole way and lots of rests too! Definitely on par with difficulty to Taxi Driver. No fancy beta just paste feet and throw?

Forgot how to do the start so took at second bolt and came down to restart, just had my hands mixed up!

Used a different footer at the crux and it was considerably easier than yesterday! Didn’t warm up and was worryingly pumped on the head wall!

Kept the shoes clean, and the send came.

Wasn’t planning to pull on today but Grape Hour had a 5 person line, maybe 20 people including 3 kids and 2 dogs at main wall???

First lap placing draws and brushing, sent second lap. Didn’t climb the bottom very well but recovered on the jug enough to send it! Don’t build a cairn, even I have to jump!!

Had to chuck a lap between Jacks attempts (and give the crux a brush of course) I felt very comfortable on it, so that was nice!

Nice to resend this, went very easily today, in a smooth / slow manner; happy with my endurance!

Lowered and retied after slip and right back on for the send!

Barely got the drive-by move; but the rest went smoothly (including the top!) Finally have done all the 25s on main wall now!

Forgot all the microbeta and footers so I cut loose a few too many times, but went first go! Pretty happy considering I didn’t hit many holds correctly and also forgot the top beta.

Did a second dogging lap to put the draws back up for Jack and brush the holds.

Barely; yay!

Needed to give it some for the top still, yay!

Didn’t give it enough juice to get to the back of the hold at the end of the crux first go. Could totally drop it post crux too!

Second go, got through crux nicely but nearly came off afterwards trying different beta. Reeled it back in, did a mixture of my original beta and the different beta and just managed to hold on for the send. Super good.

Onsight didn’t go very well, a lot of useless chalk around. One fall at crux with a bad sequence. Sorted the sequence second go then jugs to the top, but not a drop of chalk along the way, had to brush quite a bit of spider webs off.

I sent pretty comfortably second go. Much nicer with beta and draws on. No knee bar, oh, but I can get 4 fingers in the first pocket (with a squeeze)

Hop on now, the top is chalked! It’s not a sandbag!

Thought I was off on the mono stack, but body somehow stayed on; a give away at 25 (if you're not tall). Cool moves above the crux too actually, with the little crimps!

Two laps. The individual sequences are quite hard, but not extremely difficult; but keeping it together on link is!

Been meaning to try this for a while, but just always ended up being too busy.

Super awesome climbing and moves, will definitely need some more work to refine but everything went fairly smoothly, start wasn’t too bad at all.

Really hard... Couldn't even do the crux move! Pulled through, rest was nice and another hard bit at the top (but straight forward crimping)

Funky! The pump certainly builds quickly... Pulled through the crux at the end, nooope.

Too many right heels; was a touch worrying, but all the moves went at least! Had to grovel quite a bit, aha.

Fell one move from the anchor; wasn't pumped, I simply missed the pocket... Devastated. When I'm back from my break, I'll tick this

Fought like crazy, but came off at the second last bolt on the double sidepulls. Damn! Pretty damn intense moves right at the end.

Not worth the five stars, not with a start (batman) like that... In between Very Good - Classic.

Just pulled on the draws to get my gear back

Didn't enjoy it that much WHILE climbing it but felt a lot nicer when I was in the ground! Big deadpoint for the last move.

Bolt to bolt, moves all sorted with no falls; so decided to take a nice big fall after putting draws on the anchor!

No more steam to do the long move... Next time!

Awesome. Need much more endurance in order to tick this bad boy; but all the sequences were straightforward and awesome!

Three goes; rapidly deteriorating...

Oh my god, just incredible! Couldn't stop smiling after slapping those arete moves. Awesome. Freaken awesome.

Slapping the arete and dynamic pounces leading to barn-dooring (and holding it) was just so damn cool. The top was BEYOND pumpy; my god, gonna have to work on my endurance before linking that together is viable.

3 laps throughout the day (but only topped out once)

Holy crap, I will be back. Stellar! Just need to remember where the jugs are, how to get to them and to keep on moving.

Both ways? Fell off same bit each time!

Start is fairly straight forward, the moves get harder as you go higher. First crux involves a tiny glued on crimp and a ridiculous body position; second crux, double gastons and smears.

Could not do the last few moves... Need better beta (or height)

Just trying the first few bouldery moves. (Up to third bolt)
