Ascents as sport by Kat Hayhoe

traverse is no longer an issue (thanks aid pads), but the top definitely still is 😭

classic for a reason. And lucky me got to lead Amanda up her first multi!

oops i meant to start up humanality and went up this instead - soz Amanda

those feet tho. might come back with the aid pads for a send attempt

this thing is very hard off the deck definely stickclip the first bolt

repeat

holy shit she went back and ticked something

way easier than i thought it was gonna be but i think thats because the similar route i did at climbodia was way harder than i thought it was gonna be. Lived up to the hype tho, such a great flow

really happy with how i did on this. fuck i love weird kneebars 💖

this thing is magnificent. punted 2 draws from the top and i couldn't be in a better mood still

crux is cruxy, top is pumpy

barefoot draw retrieval service

power = non existent rn lmao

bouldery

linked all 3 together. really fun climbing. also i think the top pitch has been rebolted? i definely passed 2 other anchors on the way up and the final "pitch" has Ti glue ins

throwing my ego out the window while recovering

i fell!!! like an actual whip mid crux from trying hard! and my ankles were fine!!! anyway - i have a project now. feels so good to be getting back into it. did way better on my first attempt tho lol

this is defs worth the 3 stars. so much fun, even if i was racing up it to clean before a downpour

this one is actually pretty good, does need a good dusting tho.

technical knee to get the anchors. solid star until you get to 1m below the anchor and then it loses the star

First lead in over 2 months and it was a smeary slab and i actually really trusted my feet !!!! The ankles still have a long way to go but today has made me so happy.

cleaning lap

bro i lead a thing. a smeary slab thing. fuck yea

being overly cautious about the ankles and sat to work out feet

think i didnt fall on this one purely because it would have been a huge pain in the ass to get back on the route lmao. very cool and rather heady

this one is good (not just because i actually did it)

still cant lead - fell on the one weird move

moonboot dog fest and the most fun ive had in yonks. huge props to Tom for putting up the toprope for me and proceeded to belay me for god knows how long.

moonboot assent

moonboot assent. heads up for the ants in the plants up top. had to try brush them off me, there were too many so i just went to the anchor and then turbo lowered to the ground for assistance on ant removal.

first moonboot/teva assent? first time on a rope in a month and i was so happy i started sobbing when my feet touched the ground.

shes (tentatively) back baby

there are a LOT of bee hives up top - hence no completion of the 4th pitch. very cool spot. also did the 6a version of the 3rd pitch which was shockingly heady

defs could feel the hangover on this one lol

probably wasnt trying hard enough on this

first climb on limestone - i dont mind it

I loved this but my footwork really left a lot to be desired here. cest la vie

and down climb of warm up

warm up

first time linking from the ground to the end of the first crux and im super psyched on how good it felt - then realised i didnt have any beta sorted for the second OH WELL. still hyped on the progress 😎

this is a climb

came off at the crux then straight to the top. probs not 21

had such a great time tiptoeing up this. The calf pump was intense. also you can do this on a 70m rope (just)

and another two but wow i was fucked from the previous sesh

like 4 redpoint goes this sesh gosh
