Third ascent.

Nathan chose not to do the (easy but loose) top out after all the hard climbing is complete.

Second ascent. Harder than Trance.

14 sessions since doing Trance. For sure harder than Trance. Chuffed. [1]

First ascent. Around 50 sessions.

It was going really bad and I had basically decided that I had gotten too weak on one of the moves to do be able to do it. I then decided to change one thing as a last ditch effort and out of nowhere I found myself into the stand for the first time ever!

I tried to keep my cool but I started to numb out. On the penultimate move I completely missed the hold and in that moment I thought I was off. Somehow I stayed on and couldn’t quite believe that I had finally done it. All the pressure just washed away standing on top and it was honestly the best feeling I’ve had in climbing. [3]

First ascent.

Just something hard close to home. Moves are good but very low. Good excuse to climb The Boss again. [1]

Close on the flash.

Possibly the best hard boulder I’ve ever done. Incredible trip. I can’t think of many hard boulders in this style. Ninja Skills is the closest and it’s for sure harder than that but feels a little easier than some of the other 8C’s I’ve done. Very hard 8B+ or low end 8C does seem right. I wish there were more hard blocs in this style! Thanks Jimmy for giving this gem to the world.
