Ascents as Red point or Ground up red point as sport by Ben Jenga

Booo unticked. Much harder than I remembered and the first time I have ever fallen off. Fitness low

Good to be back. 21

Good to put to bed a three visit 5. Punted the first, scrapped through on the second. Cool route.

Bit of a surprise really. Tried the start years ago and couldn’t do it, figured it out pretty easy today, placed the draws and sent second shot. Was really working for it at the top, both arms failing.

Great warm up lap in the sticky wet Connie’s

First lap was a bit of mission finding holds and more importantly feet. Surprised myself with a second shot send. Very boxed at the top. Some pretty sharp and untrafficed holds at the crux but fun sequences.

Second shot today after a refreshing lap. Great route with funky moves and unique holds.

Got strung out at the second bolt, came down and went back up the right side of the arete. Not easier at the top.

Second shot after a foot pop on the first. Psyched to send this today with a big crew and family cheering me on. Middle of the rd 28 for me, the holds are just too positive.

Sweet to come back and do this first shot. Mountains classic.

Bit of a lost gem, but not as good as I had hoped for. Pretty sandy start up to the roof which was a bit hard going and pumpy up to the heels and hands fist rest. Still a couple tricky moves up top, to keep you pumping. No anchor...?

Great to fire this first shot today, helps when you have fresh skin.

Tried this years ago, nice to retro flash it today. Lots of different moves, I got a little scared at the arete and plenty gripped up higher. Just move your feet.

Second shot after punting the throw. Lots of chalk on this atm, and draws on the 28. Fun little pumper, worth the effort.

Was keen on this for a while but after wasting the first two laps climbing direct at the crux and struggling mentally with a foot placement I tried the slight R version, and did the move easy.

Not too bad third shot but pumped at the top. Fun route with a great mix of styles but cruxie.

FFA. No pressure, warm up lap send. Stuck the left slot from the ground for the first time then the nerves really kick in, I was really worried I would punt the top but it all came together. Low end 29 or nails 28, not sure...?

Lee, your turn 10th shot over 4 visits

Felt great to tick this off first shot as a warm up today, it all went just right.

Awesome to come back and tick this off placing after nearly 6 years to the day since my first shot. Such rad long route, its on until the anchor.

Thuggy and awkward, glad I got it second shot but it was a fight.

Nevermind the L knee, the R knee rock over is boss.

Should of onsighted but didn't commit, should have second shot but punt, cleaned it up third. Really fun but there is one move harder then the rest.

Should have been first shot today but put it to rest on the second. Fun powerful moves but pretty short and weird balance.

So nice to finally tick this classic, its been a long time coming and 3rd shot today in the cold. When I finally felt confident on the dyno it went next shot. Almost blew it at the top slab. Nails for a 6..

First shot toady in the nice cool dry. Felt good but strangely anti climatic to send this 10 year project. 17 shots over 8 visits.

Action packed fun, tired for the flash but fingers numbed at the crux. Didn't feel that hard second shot send until I got to the mantel...

I linked the ground boulder for the first time on my first warm up today then kept on pushing, the flash pump was real. I almost dropped it at the anchors but I whimpered and whaled to get it done. Only 8 crux's..

Punted the crux move on the Onsight, came down, untied and did the route. Not that hard at 5 but well worth the admin at the start (which was fine) The water runnel above is all time.

The project goes down!!!!

Felt a little confident coming into today, after a quick warm up I stuck the dyno for the first time from the ground but messed up the rose move above. Had a decent rest, milked the jugs, stuck the dyno, held on till the last rest, got a little recovery and crimped the mustard out of the last boulder.. So Fucking psyched and it's caught on camera for a soon to be release movie 7 visits, 19 shots.

Shit yeah!!

Linked the crux bugle second lap today and punted above the top crux off the slope. Connie’s turned up, the send train was full steam and I was supa psyched to link the very last thin move to the anchor. 16 attempts , 6 visits, first 30.

Great to put this down easy first shot today. As Lee said this deserves more attention. Easier then gargoyles

Well shit yeah!!

Matched my old high point first lap, punted two moves above the pocket second shot, sent the multi-year project strangely easily 3rd shot. Primo connies sure do help it was windy, cold, dry!! Thinking of you today Jay.. (15?)

Good to put this away placing draws after punting it a few years back. Probably only 25 but the designer bold makes it feel harder.

You know your power is down when spurt wall 6’s feel hard. Tricky foot movement compression boulder.

The easiest route I have fallen off so far in the gramps. Tried with some whack beta first shot, took a mix of Mitch’s and my beta for the second shot send. Real intense route.

Finally came back to do the other one. Pretty stready to the knee bar then hard boulder finish, that right pinch is minimal.

The only route I have ever fallen off at the GFC

Did the long first pocket boulder but couldn't figure out the second boulder off the sandy and slick mid height jug. Gave it a good scrub, did the move then draws up. After a short rest I sent second shot but the top crux on TDS was a real fight.

Did the batman start for a warm-up, got the start beta from Emil and cruised from the ground as my second burn. Probably still 25 for me from the ground with the easy beta. Great fun.

Pumped off the crux first shot, did a little refining then up to the anchors. Felt pretty fresh entering the crux second shot, nailed it, and kept my shit together to the top. I really didn't want to punt the top moves as an audience was watching including the first ascension. 4 years after sending the first half..

Psyched to finally put this one to bed, on/off project for about 7 years. 3rd shot today in prefect Glen conditions..

Couldn’t do the very start boulder first shot, solved the ledge boulder with a sneaky L toe jam. Surley this drops a few grades as the steep juggy either side of the boulders isn’t that hard. Second shot.

By the skin on my teeth, my whaling might have shocked some of the many bumbles in the area. Felt nails first shot but with refined foot work I just managed to sneak it. Very crimpy at the top and certainly didn't feel 'soft' to me.

Great tension boulder problem on cracker rock. We didn’t see higher anchors.

Nice to change gears and put this down. Really great sustained steeps, pity the rock at the end isn't as good as the wicked middle section. (2)

Really mega really, very old school style and grade. One of those routes where you feel insecure the whole way but still make upward progress. Very strange reaches in spots and lots of tricky feet. A great challenge. Second shot.

All time is right, such an rare and awesome 38m ironstone soaring seam. Fell off the crux first shot, took a little bit to commit to the mono crux then clean to the top. Scrapped through second shot and pumped my way to the very top. Worth the effort for sure.
