Ascents

2 recorded ascents.

Climber Style Ascent Date Suggested Grade
Daniel Woods Boulder | worked 2nd Nov 2013 8C+
First ascent. 13 sessions.

The epic is finally over! 13 days of battling with conditions and falling off of every move (including the final v2 move), implanted doubt in my mind if this thing was going to go down this year.

Drew Ruana Boulder | worked 5th Oct 2022 8C+
Second ascent. Around 35 sessions.

Feels harder for 16 than a lot of the other 16s I've done. I think the fact that it does not have a second ascent while Creature [from the Black Lagoon], Box [Therapy], Sleepwalker, all those ones have been repeated quite a few times. [2]
