First ascent.

A left start to Wet Dream out left on the jug. Big cross over move to the pinch, then some tension moves to get into Wet Dream. Could be 8b? Definitely not as hard as Atlas for me.

Second ascent?

pretty much the same boulder as wet dream, a little harder.. 8a+/8b

In my opinion, does not add any difficulty to Wet Dream. Fun and different intro into one of the best boulders in the country.

This one was hella cool. Sent wet dream right before sending this one. Tbh felt like a better line. Did... undercling beta where most ppl do a finger lock

Quick send, under an hour. Im having a hard time seeing this one being 8b. Fun fun climb tho

More obvious than the OG Wet Dream start imo. Long and sustained.

Somehow escaped having a devastating punt

Had one of the worst punts on this one!

Kinda not fresh after the 2 am Trieste sesh last night. Also wet dream is already 8B so I think this is too

Pretty much the same rock climb as Wet Dream, so if you want my PHD thesis on why that one is overrated please check the log on that one

First try, adds almost nothing to wet dream

Definitely easier than Atlas, but harder than Wet and Abaddon!
