My first 12d, yupeeee. I haven't counted the tries but I guess around 20. Took a while to figure out efficient beta for all the sections. It's loong.

Didn’t think I had a chance of sending until I was one bolt from the anchor. Super hot day, but fought the pump and exhaustion to tick my first of the grade!

Hardest climb in two seasons. Second day redemption after dropping the literal anchor jug. One day I'll send before you Michelle! 💪

Great climb, cool movement. Sent on the 4th go of the day right before a forced injury hiatus. Glad to have this to work while my right arm heals. Thanks Jules for the company working it

Nice, long endurance route and kinda soft at 12d for Squamish. Crux section is techy and short.

Turned out to be several tries over a few sessions because I never gave myself a good opportunity to send. Always at the end of session when I was always tired. Happy to have put it to rest finally and/or maybe warm up on it later hahah

Another failed 7c flash attempt. Made it through the crux only to fall after 20mins on the wall getting horribly pumped in a bad rest position pretty high up. Took a few more attempts after that, but really good climb.

Finally managed to tick this after many sessions of finessing the beta. Nearly came off in the crux but managed to hold it together, rest well and clip the chains.

awesome long and varied climb. for me the crux was pretty easy and my style but I fell going to the jug right before the easy climbing 3 times... 3rd 12d this week, psyched.

2nd try, the boulder problem in the middle had me do like 6 hand moves + 4 foot moves just to be able to do the crux cross move, very worthwhile!

Sent first go after not having been on it for like 2 months! Got through the crux very smoothly and had to keep my excitement down for the last bit. A truly classic endurance pitch.
