Thanks for the patient belay J.

Definitely felt harder than Gladiator, so thrilled to have scored the onsight.
I was a bit in my head initially, having heard the start is tough to protect. I couldn't quite shake the feeling most of the way up, so didn't do this as gracefully as I could. Would like to come back to tidy up my ascent. Thanks for the patience on belay Yim! |

18 | ★★★ Iron Mandible - with Jess C | 24m | |||||
Managed to protect the start with a bad .4 and some equalised blue BD micro stoppers, then grabbed the left ledge and got a good .3 and .4 in. The small pro, my sweaty hands and the barn-doory position was too big a test of my shattered psychological state and I took a rest before making the move of faith. Don't remember how it finally went but using the left side of the ledge rather than the thick crimp on the right set things up better.
Some more rests then did the hands and fists sections clean (albeit with much grunting). Gear: had plenty extra from a double rack .3-4 with a 3 piece top anchor, more micro stuff down low might help psychologically. |

Had a peek around the corner at someone trying to add their grunts to the philharmonic and nearly flew off. Apart from that was fun to watch Tim runout onsighting this due to only taking our meagre passive rack.
