Cool Sensations – 5.12a
16m / 52ft, 10 bolts
Description:
A few big holds and cool pockets get you off the ground before a thin and slightly desperate crux gains some pods. Shake out well before taking on the rest of the pumpy route.

Jimmy Blackhall: Go straight up st the end crux. Don't go right and add 4 more moves like a skirt -
JD: Knee bar #1 in the pod. Knee bar #2 between the two underclings. -
JBren: Knee bar at the crux if your leg fits! -
ericwhite: Kneebar rest helps

one of the better climbs of the grade in the rectory
-
Slippery but fun
-
The first 12a I’ve ever touched outdoors in my first climbing year, was struggled a lot that time. Come back after 2years, felt pretty good on it. Nice route in grassi!
-
Pretty good climb. Kneebar before the crux makes it on the easier end of the grade IMO.
-
-
Second go, really butchered the top on the onsight... oh well -
-
-
Good fun crux, got very pumped at the top and thought I might blow but I didn’t, cause I am GOD -
2nd go. Sent on the warm up while hanging draws today. Such a good route -

I made sweet redpoint babies and it was sensational. Fuck that stupid ass clip at the last draw that covers the jug! I feel twice there, removed the draw, skipped the cunt and went to the anchor! If I or anyone I know retrofits this, that bolt goes 💯
-
Knee bar!

Polished
-
Stoked to send both this and The Convincer today. The pump'll getcha -

FINALLY. Lots of fun.

3rd go surprise send in the rain. Super fun climbing.
-
Overhanging jug pulling with two tricky crux sequences. 2nd go. -
Fun line with some cool features. Tricky beta midway gets you trough to some jugs before the end.
-
Full on no hands rest with the knee bar if you can place it in the pod. -
