Ascents in Main Crag as Red point

Finally! Stopped counting how many times I fell off the last hard move. Then I hurt my toe on another route and was unable to stand on this tiny right foot, so had to find new beta for the move. This (better) beta enabled me to send, but only on the next session. Hardest face climb to date.

After getting the right beta - went down next go

Soft

#2go

Very fun climb

Hard 7a+, soft 7b. Good route!

2nd go

Epics climbing

At long last. I’ve been meaning to tick this route for quite some time.

Didn't get the onsight on this one. 2nd go

3rd go. felt good to stick it

I once saw Hermie Venter engage beast mode and finish this route, after the crux, direct through the roof (left of the last bolt) and this I think would make it a hard 25 or even a 26. I finished slightly right which is how it was done before the hold broke off. Not sure if that's kosher, but a nice route with a tricky crux none the less.

sneaky fucker. Dorked the stab for the pocket:( Liked this line, amazeball jugs

2nd Go

Outstanding line. The crimpy section felt improbable the first time around -- amazing what you can stand on. Guy before me broke off a massive block, so I'm claiming this as a first ascent. Without that critical flake the route is probably closer to 27/28.

2nd Go

I put the draws up and sent first goooo 🥳🥳🥳 Finally I was ready to put this fantastic route together and it flowed so nicely. My first 25 and hardest route ever 🤩🕺🏽What a gorgeous line!

Amazing route, somehow managed to send it on my second go. Had a lot of beta help from Alta Lourette 😊

Why did I wait so long to do this one? Flipping amazing route.

This is one my most memorable sends because I tried it quite a while back but couldn't muscle through the bouldery first few moves. Today as I hung the draws, the bottom part went pretty easily, but I was taking nearly every bolt on the crimpy face after that to figure out the moves. Then, the top crux I couldn't get after 5 tries so I pulled through, finished it, and came down. I thought, oh well, this isn't going down today. No pressure. 2nd go - calm, in the flow, I suddenly find myself on point at the top crux, kicking myself for not working it out before because I know it would be a send if I had! I rest and shake getting it all back. Tried some beta that didn't work, climbed down, rested, and tried different beta that DID work (high feet and then feet left). Sent. Completely unexpected. One of the best feelings ever

This turned out to be a fun route. Thought the crux was yuck and I just needed to commit to the moves, but it flowed on the send and I enjoyed the crux.

Whaaa, finally sent this route! The crux was all about cranking it down, not very gracefully 😄

Climbed with Josh. Had been on it once before. Too hot to climb at Silvermine in morning at this time of the year. Weirdly bolted route. Used a cam to backup the second bolt which wobbles.

2nd Go

We backed up the dodgy bolt with a cam. Then line gets a bit weird. Enjoyed the section past the midway ledge.

Second go send. Start on Trance Dance to ledge and then move onto Kirika to chains. Creates a nice hybrid route called Trance Prance (grade 23 which neatly skips the dodgy second bolt of Kirika (needs a rebolt) and the broken hold at the top of Trance Dance which has increased that routes grade to 25. Cool line Climbed with Josh.

I was on this about 10 years ago and was nowhere. Today tr it first go. Sent next go, amped.

No OS attempt as did the upper half yesterday. Worked the crux on tr, Sent next go.
