Ascents by Tom Hodges having Distinct route

Had a couple of good burns falling just before the mantle into the scoop. But holds kept breaking and had to keep changing my sequence. Don't know if someone needs to glue the big undercling jug as it is super hollow.

Second go. Not sure on the grade as the Crux is after it meets "The Shinning" but that felt very stiff for a 23.

Good to get back into slabbing crux getting to first bolt.

Only tried the opening crux once to get a feel as the draws were up.

Fell in the Crux... Again. Need to try this when fresh.

Couldn't figure out a sequence for the first big move.

Tried this 2 years ago. 2 top rope burns to figure the moves, fell after the Crux on the first red point and came together pretty comfortably 4th burn of the day.

4th go. Should have gone on the third... Sat or whipped on all the bolts seem fine.

Need more endurance.

So close

Good warm up.

Fell on the last hard move putting up draws.

This has gotta be better than terminal insomnia such excellent climbing! Stick in a couple of heel-toe cams for the long reaches.

Bailed after 4th draw way too much for the end of the day.

Fell off one move from the victory jug but was at the end of the day so surely when fresh.

Lots of desperate moves could link the start but from second bolt to the top it is on!

Only got on this cos fuel the fire was wet. But managed to get it all done in 3-4attempts.

Thanks to the couple for the beta. Big bump to get to the rail. Took like 8 attempts to sort a sequence for the opening boulder then I choked on the easy arete. Was absolutely desperate to get through it again.

Wow super sustained, likely going to be a harder tick than some others on omega block. Just missing one move to get into the start of green alliance. It is desperate as I started GA facing the opposite direction. Also footholds need some love.

This has gotta be a 21

Fell off 2 moves from the anchors, big choke. Great way to finish an awesome trip though.

2nd go, so close to coming off just latched the jug at the 6th bolt.

Pumped out at around the 6/7th bolt. I couldn't find a good position to clip.

All moves done but don't have the power endurance to link it all.

Too tired end of day but this was great. Lots of good moves and quite sustained.

Should have flashed, didn't commit to the first move. Lowered and sent.

Ahh stuck the move twice couldn't do it from the ground.

Might have another bash at this next time.

One move wonder boulder problem.

End of a big first day. Too pumped around the 5th bolt.

Fell off with the chains in my face. Will come back.

Trying to get a feel for blueys climbing. Didn't quite figure out the crimps but geez I was pumped.

Easier than the 18

2 more runs up this. Missing just 1 more move. Then linking is a different story.
