Ascents as Pink point as trad by Marco de Jongh

Good climbing! Climbed on gear placed by Jim because I was daunted by the grade, but it would actually be pretty chill to protect myself since the crux is bolted

Pfew what an adventure, hit the deck on my onsight attempt when I took on a nut at the start that pulled out sideways. Little bit shaken decided to top rope it. Felt pretty doable and gear was solid so figured I'd give it another redpoint burn.

2nd redpoint go I had completely forgotten about my jamming beta, so I hung onto the good fingerlock for ages figuring out where to go. Despite my trepidations at the start I managed to make it through only to came off above the sentry box because I had forgotten where to go.

3rd go, I found good sport climber beta through the start only using 1 fingerlock and laybacking the rest. This attempt was thwarted by a foot slip getting into the sentry box, the gear held but I did land on my feet back on the ground.

With daylight fading, I decided to quickly have a 4th go with the first 3 pieces still in. This go I made it to the top but does make it a pink point. When my butt is less sore from the ground fall I'll have to go back for the proper clean red point.

But hey, with 3 falls on gear in 1 day I've definitely accomplished my "Learn to fall on gear" trip goal

Didn't feel like coming back here this trip, so climbed it on Josie's gear instead, next trip I'll come back for the red point.

Left the gear in last night, warmed up in campground this time. Went really easy first go, definitely a one move wonder but it's an awesome move so who cares
