Ascents in Rhode Island as Working

Felt like actual progress.

Did first moves and crux to warm up.

Just one attempt today. Was good!

Warming up, remembering subtle beta.

Rehearsed the first couple of moves. There is a very small but sharp left foothold on the face, above the more obvious low one. It works surprisingly well, all the way to the sidepull.

Also rehearsed transition from sidepull to undercling. Last session's heel hook still seems good.

Also linked all moves from third hand move through the crux to wide right foot in the top out.

???????

Worked out much better beta for moves into crux.

Did all the moves in 3 overlapping sections.

Tried working this after sending Loadies, but fingers didn't even want to pull on.

This was supposed to be a warm-up, but was too cold - it was in the shade.

My best session yet.

On my best attempt, I went from the start to the dyno but somehow slipped from the huge jug.

My other attempts were not great. I kept falling off the second move, which usually feels easy for me.

Worked the top and made good progress. Did the top dyno and top out for the first time. The dyno felt easy when it finally worked.

Felt ready for send goes.

Working again.

Got beta which seems to work for the big move. I need to practice it and go further right on the ledge.

The bottom didn't feel quite as good as last time, but still went. Got close on the dyno after moving to higher feet.

Ended session with a bleeder.

Trying out some of the moves as a potential future project. Most moves feel too hard for me today, but would be fun otherwise.

This felt like really good progress. The only move I didn't do was the dyno to the jug.

Feels like it could go this season if the weather holds out..

Reasonable amount of progress. Need to work out how to get feet off the block.

Tried to pull on... Very sloper. Looks hard

Can make the big dead point reliably. Couldn't actually latch the hole. Seems like good progress.

??????‽

Probably regressed from last session.

Can make the first couple moves, but can't get heel-toe cam out without dabbing. Needs a different left foot??

Foot popped at crux

Didn't fall off, but also didn't see any obvious beta.

Better than last time, but didn't manage the crux from the ground yet.

There are two options for the crux:

• Make the move with a heel hook on the left and a hand on the "axe head", likely without matching. I haven't done this move in isolation.

• Climb all the way into the start of 'New Direction'. With this beta I have done all moves in isolation. Supposedly this is the harder beta.

Wasn't feeling great. Dehydration? Knee still bothering me?

Stopped after losing a lot of skin.

Rehearsed the last few moves.

Pulled off the ground ...

Feels doable.

The first few moves are easy.

Moving to the axe head took a few attempts. Will be challenging to do that and have power remaining for the next move.

Warmed up.

Worked out a beta for the end. Did all the moves in small sections.

First few moves went easily. Couldn't make the move to the axe head. From the axe head to the end went no problem.

Feel much stronger than last year.

Did all the moves in two overlapping sections.

Huge progress since a year ago when most of the line looked impossible.

Got further than I thought was possible when I first looked at it last year.
