Ascents in Upper Wall - The Pavement

NOT a warm up!!

Flamed after Rockamoveya and Altias. A quality route which felt harder than 11c but that could just be me being tired. Lets see next time.

Sent this first try this time! 4th attempt overall. This was the first time in years that after trying a route for a session I could clearly recall every move. The night before I was lying in bed visualizing each move. I fully expected to take a couple of burns on this today however I managed to pull through the first boulder problem, manage the pump through the middle and stick the show stopper move at the end. So psyched! Even better Brook then sent his project Endless Summer (13d) immediately after this for an awesome send train. First 5.12 for me so pretty stoked

3 burns. First to put the draws on and figure it out. 2nd burn was 2 sits and 3rd burn I had it down to a single fall at the final crux move. Stoked to have it feel close. Super fun climbing and that final crux move is gonna be a show stopper.

Felt like honest 8c to me.

#2go I loved this thing! despite being annoyingly morpho at the top.

Respect to Scotty!
