Where's Mom – 5.12a
19m / 62ft, 11 bolts
Description:
Likely one of the easiest 5.12’s at Acephale. Technical vertical climbing leads to a crux in the steeper terrain.
Recent Sendage:
-
Surprisingly quite liked this one, felt the flow in the upper half. Lower Ace always delivers -
Onsight go felt impossible Got it second go with flailing Repeated third go Quality cryptic limestone, one of BV's finest 12a's

Sending this route cured my mommy issues.

tricky throughout. Had done the top via neo mom before -
My 2nd 12a! Really enjoy this route!
-
-
Went through a crazy arc with this one today, started off freezing cold and hating my life but by the end of the day I actually really enjoyed this climb. -
Oh Connor, what would I do without your terrible beta. This is actually a pretty decent climb. -

Mucked up the OS after the last bolt with some wild beta thinking that’s where the crux was 🙃… luckily this route is a blast to climb! -
Much better than advertised, and in the pouring rain! -

Rumor has it the titular mom is still out there somewhere searching for quality climbing, because this route has little of it. -
-
Bless up to the absolute stud Mark for giving me a spraydown -
The start isn't so awkward once you find the beta. The following sections are very nice, broken up by big rests that I most definitely took advantage of. -

Some really fun parts at the top. Bottom felt awkward

By the skin of my teeth on the send go. Windy and cold today. Got a pump/numbout just as I was getting to the mid way rest, then rested forever and still barely had enough for the upper crux. The routes that barely happen are always nice and memorable though.
-
Wasn't sure if I liked it at first but ended up really enjoying it.

possible retro flash, cant remember if i tried this before. fun.
-
So much fun to be had with this one. Nearly onsighted, but made a critical sequence error I couldn't climb out of.
-
2nd go. Good climbing once you start pulling the roof. The bottom section has no flow -

improves as you go. Didnt get me very psyched -
Experienced a special moment on this climb today. I got a little careless and climbed under another climber. Luckily, I stuck the crux, pulled up onto the ledge, and had just established myself before Margot whipped off the crux of Nemo coming into the wall with each of her feet on either side of me. Got away scott-free. No foot-shaped bruises on my back, no nasty fall over the roof. Fun climb. -
This is the first climb I really enjoyed here! The beta was surprisingly easy to read. Or maybe I just got lucky. -
-
I don't get the hype on Acephale...but maybe I'm missing what's classic......2nd go. -
-
-
better climbing after the awkwardness
-
Ok as a warm up although felt super insecure with numb fingers. Second go. -
Awkward start. -
-
Second go. Really fun. -
Fun warm up. Not too pumpy and some interesting pulling through the two cruxes. -

Solid Alzheimer's flash after trying it a few years ago.

Stamina is a bit better but couldn't redpoint any of the other climbs I tried in Acephale today. Seems like the only routes I can send are my warmups...

three good rests with fun climbing between.
