I made up my mind to send this climb as a way to get my fitness up. While I still don’t love it, I’m happy to have sorted out some decent beta up high.

god damn mothertruckin pigs. I hate this rock climb and all that it represents: pigs, which are hard and awkward to wrangle, much like this climb. Ask me how I know how hard pigs (and this gosh darn rock climb) are hard to wrangle? I've wrangled both, and I hated every minute of it, but we do it for the greater good. To bring home the bacon, and also to fall off dinosaur highway. To that end, I will continue to hate-climb that friggin pig till the deed is done -
Mounted that wart like a pony.

Surprised I managed to clip the chains! Fluffed a clip down low, broke a foothold as I went to clip, and power screamed almost every move in the top half. In the end, I stuck the moves that mattered and managed to send my first 5.12

Shorter, powerful but techy. Went direct up the start. Best finishing stance ever :D

Retro tick.

My first 12 in the amphitheater!! Once I figured out a sequence for it, then it felt super chill on the send burn :) -

My onsight skills are laughably bad. Went easily on the second go. -

Really like the looks of dinosaur highway. -

Pumpy...

The beginning of Dynosaur Highway! Not the best 5.12 in the cave, but it's fun to sit on the wart at the end!

Pumpy and not particularly good climbing
-
A multi-season project. Quite short and neat at the end when you get to rest on a giant knobby warthog. Very burly for a 12a.
