Ascents of Tyranny

Tried to repeat at the end of the day as there were draws and got reminded how powerful this climb was. Great fun

Had an unexpected foot slip at top. Will go next session

2nd shot

Soft. Punchy route with some pretty gangster moves though. Have to get on the extension!

Power endurance delight.

So psyched!! I have always seen people trying this but never thought I would try it myself. This climb really suited my style, big moves between big holds. So surprised to send this second shot.

Ticked 2 trys

3 days on it, mostly working moves. 2 proper redpoint shots, where I didn't screw up the first move at the undercling because I forgot the beta. Counting those, about 5 shots.

Felt easier than repeating the Fist which I did the next day. Actually took longer to send the 28s I've done.

First 8a

Stoked!!!!

First time on it in 6 Months. Felt good, fell at 3rd last move, also did the link from the 2nd bolt to the top. Refined some foot beta also. Need to get back on ASAP.

Like catching up with an old friend... or enemy. Happy to still feel realy close after being sick for the past 2 weeks..

New beta, i should have listened to mike from the start, sorry coach! I didnt think i could get any closer without doing it than last week but apparently i can.

FAAARRRK!!! I was cruisin till my brain turned off. stoopid.

Sooo freakin close, one sit. Rad bouldery moves and an awesome delicate finish.

10th shot. Back after a rest day desperate to finish this beast. Fell TWO HOLDS from clipping the anchors.

8th shot

6th shot. More dodgy weather today.

11th shot. I worked hard for this route.

7th shot, it was around this stage I was making the dyno

9th shot. Made the dyno and was crusing for the send when foot popped off the biggest bucket known to man mantling the top slab. Fell into the tree.

4th go, fell on low undercling, sigh!
