Despite a fair bit of effort, I never managed to make it through the opening steep boulder problem to the 1st bolt (at 4m, which I'd stick clipped). Farking steep and powerful bouldering on a rope.

First climb in the valley!! 2nd shot
	5.12a	★★★ Separate Reality	Trad 15m	Yosemite National Park		Anton Korsun	Fri 19th May 2023
Second shot. Although I’m a little flat about the style of ascent (not being a true redpoint), I’m pretty content to leave it at that. Reason being, while the roof is long, you only need to place 2 pieces in it to make it “safe” from a groundfall (ignoring the first one placed from a hands free rest). Given how hard it is to clean, spending a whole day just to place 2 cams seems a bit contrived. But full respect to those who do!
	5.12a	★★★ Separate Reality	Trad 15m	Yosemite National Park	★★★ Mega Classic	Jack Seawright	Tue 23rd May 2023
Magnificent rap in and views from the sloping ledge. Each of us had 2 punts. Not as splitter as the bridge crack in bowen hills but alright for rock i guess. Heart broken by the rude boulder at the end but with a bit of rope help the roof turn was very cool. Nice sesh

first half was type 1 fun! had a few goes at burly/tensiony move with diminishing returns

I must've started too high or this is truly a one move 12a that I bypassed the Crux of? Definitely on the right line according to MP but felt way too easy for 12a

TRonsight. Will did quite the job onsighting this route. I was a bit nervous about the protection but it's actually safer than it looks. Something to go back for.

Can’t explain how shocked/stoked/amazed I am to onsight this route. By far my hardest trad/crack onsight. 11c is a massive sandbag but that’s to be expected. It didn’t come easy, thanks to Chris for the support and patience

Top rope then lead. Really not that bad, if you know how to ring lock it's a hard 10. Also it's called Grandpa Joe's Garage

So god damn good. Came out with mattias early to beat the sun, jugged straight up skipping the most exhausting warm up pitch in existence. Mattias jumped on and lashed up 6 pieces then came down, i tried to rose-point it through half-preplaced gear. Pretty solid crack but had a footslip and a good whip at half height which probably is the crux depending on style preference. The top is intreguing in the v groove and the victory jug feels so amazing to caress that itll make your hang dog feel like a long term project red point. Stoked to get out and get some fingers stuck on this pitch that consensus says is the best 5.11 in the valley. At this point im on board with it

think of rickety kate but overhanging and leaning and then add a 20 degree overhanging handcrack and then a grade 19 offwidth all with zero rests!! this route rules. I haven't been this tired after a climb for a while. (With Keith and Jack)
