Ascents in Ordinary Men Boulder

Rad line. Get on it!

Rad.

Not sure if done right. Traversed all the way to the left, then went up. Based on the chalk it seemed, I should've moved up like one move earlier. Not a big difference thought. Great, pumpy traverse. Nice, rewarding V0 finish.

nice problem, made it a bit more exciting by doing it with eliminates during the first half of the traverse

It's a pretty cool link up, shame about the crux having the risk of a spine break on the boulder behind

What's in and what's not.. wondering makes it seem rather contrived. I probably used something that was too close to the top, who knows.

Got all the moves sorted... but then, as I put a LH gaston on in a hold on the left side of the dish just left of the big juggy flake, I took the hold with me. Sorted out a new sequence that worked for me (outside edge step through), however, all a bit frazzled by blasting off. Will come back another day.

Thankfully, I don't think I've taken off a hold that most people use, it wasn't chalky, and Neil didn't use it in his video https://youtu.be/VImyTWqoHa0?t=73, instead going to the right side of the dish.

Spent way too long ironing out the bit from the flake onwards. Sorted. Notes taken so that I dont have to spend all this time again!

Bleh. Everything is there and ready to go. Need to be fresh.

Finally. First go this session.

Bloody long!

May have dabbled on the rock behing a little. It's tight!

couple of burns with bad fingers

Toughtest part is the last part lmao

Need to get the full top out next time

It's easier than Pockets, from the stated holds it can't be tougher than V0

We wanted to see if we could make Ordinary Arete feel like a V2. It adds 4 moves to the start, and puts the feet in a different position when at the start hands of Ordinary Arete. Flows nicely
