benflynn: After the tufa back rest, keep your feet low on the slabby, but good, feet instead of trying to shove yourself up in the roof. Much much less pumpy -
christophergaudet: Rest at the big tufa in the middle of the route before the traversing ceux out right to the chains! -
Shawn Boye: Apparently there is a pocket?

First of the grade! Felt great to finally put it together after being so close before "the injury"
-
2023-06-25Fifth go over 2 days, amazing climbing and so flowy once you figure out where all the holds are. Crux was deciding which holds to use to pull the final corner. Limestone is crazy, man.

Syd gave me the knee bar beta -
Second go! So siick!! -
Took me more tries then I had hoped. That being said with each attempt my beta got better and this climb starting growing on me and became way more flowy. Great rainy day for the send.
-
Like many others this was my first 12a! Wonderful climb! -

First 12a! Couldn’t be happier with how I climbed today! Although it was hot and my stomach hurt, I pulled it together. Good omen! -
2020-06-22First 5.12! 5th go over 2 days -
Classic test piece with incredible moves and holds.

Sick! A pinch of Elvis leg resulted in a spooky foot slip near the top, but I managed to stay on! Didn’t expect to send today. Cool beans.😎🤙 -
-
2nd go. Staying low after the no hand rest makes it easier. -
2019-08-12Great climb! Super polished feet though -

This one goes at 5."wow, limestone is really weird" -
Way better when not wet :) fun fun fun! -
Second try. Fun climbing between very good rests. Good introduction to the style in the amphitheatre -
Haven't showered in four days. Still sent. -
-
-
My first 5.12! Really stoked to get it in 4 goes. A little sad that I didn't get around to trying this when I was actually 25, but I guess 26 is still sort of a quarter of a century? -

Feels really good to finally get this one! Had to learn how to try hard on a rope.

fun climb

2016-09-21I fell in love with her years ago. Today I had the courage and strength. I will love her forever. My first 12.... -
Said take about 22 times on the first go. Sent second go. I've figured out how to use limestone smears. -
Because it's about time I send the "Classic" -
Fun stuff.
-
What a fun line!
-
This is pretty fun climbing.
-
-
one of my favourite routes i've ever done!! -
2016-06-06My first 5.12!! Should maybe try some more of these "sport climbs"
-
Fought pretty hard for this one! Need more endurance . . . Super fun climbing.
-

Great weekend in Victoria with unusually gorgeous weather for November. This is a quality route which definitely suits my style more than the steeper things in the amphitheater. I sent this before sending the 11a "warmup" up the hill.

-
Fought to the chains.

Yup 2nd go flash that's how I do it. Ceuse aint got nothing on this route.
-
-
Fun route, did it on my first double 'scend day.
-
Second time on it, tweaked my back a little through the crux, was pretty pumped by the end.
-
-
Nice climb, wish i had manged the onsight.
-
-
-
lots of good rests, a bit wet.
-
Fun climb that isn't as steep as most of the 12s up at Horne. Crux hold is a wet pocket. The hold dries out about mid summer. -
-
-
Tried to onsight & got mega pumped! -

This was my first 12a send after returning to climbing from having my youngest kid! I think I may have done the harder version of the crux by going more left, but the send felt really smooth in the end!

Nice jugy endurance route with a cool pocket crux at the end. Extremely fun.
