Ascents

12 recorded ascents.

Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Daniel Woods Boulder | worked 10th Feb 2010 8C
First ascent. 17 sessions.

Daniel initially suggested 8C+ but later revised this to 8C.

After returning back and using the new method, The Game felt to be more like a soft v15 than 16. A couple of the holds have seemed to of grown in size from brushing. This new method is different from what I did, so therefore it is a different boulder problem. Before, I could not use these holds since they were not as positive as they are now. Regardless, it is still an amazing boulder! [1]
