2nd attempt, should've flashed, went too big

shame this is so polished, would be a classic problem otherwise!

one move wonder

cool little line, was a wee bit damp

after completely battling with this problem over a session or two and running out of energy i came back fresh and sent this first attempt, such a great problem, felt really hard! didnt do this problem with the original beta, couldnt span the original way, did the problem direct using the undercut

didnt take many attempts, felt a bit soft for 7b

had a complete battle with this problem, skin was thin and kept greasing off of the holds, but felt easyyyy on the send go

sent quickly,took about 5 attempts, felt easy, BOOM

Flashed as a warm up, injured my elbow in the process, moral of the story, warm up properly

#WarmUp

once the first move sticks you are in but pinged off a fair few times!

Mint problem, blew the last move multiple times in my first session there and powered out after working out the moves! came back for my second session at the stone the other day and rinsed it within a few attempts!

This is probably one of the best problems at ilkley at the grade, great moves, easily droppable! short folk... use the crimp on the first sloper, gives a lot of extra reach around to the good hold out on the arete

one move wonder! another i shouldve flashed but i was completely inaccurate on my first attempt stabbing to the crimp

pretty sure this gets 7a+ in topo but it felt hard to me, shouldve been a flashed but ballsed up the last move (the easy bit)

one move wonder, big slap, E to the ZEE

Should've flashed, second go, punter

did this problem fairly quick, however its the best problem i have done at almscliff so far! loved all the moves and it flowed really well

didnt feel like it added much to the grade of the problem, however makes for a better problem than underhand alone

First 8a, sent on my birthday aswell! so psyched with this ascent, such a quality problem with really cool moves!!

warmed up on this, took me a while to work out a heel is the best beta, fell off the last hard move of the sit about 8 times, absolutely gutted not to tick the 8a today but i'll be back in a few days to get it done, psychedddd!

horribly green topout on a damp day made for a very scary last section and horrible slab downclimb! but a decent little two move wonder

not a bad little traverse

really satisfying send, happy with this tick! found i could only have a few good goes before the crimp became greasy and not positive at all

found some good beta which made it feel that little easier, not normally my kind of thing but this problem is brilliant

really good problem, long first move to a sharp juggy crimp followed an interesting toehook match before finishing up on the positive slopers via powerful moves, really enjoyed this problem, pleased with the tick

wasnt too bad, crimps felt fairly decent, heel-toe lock hurts!!

felt hard, but my beta was poor, didnt really know what to do with my feet so i powered through it, psyched to get extension added to it next time

very good problem, got it done in about 6 attempts, my first 7c

definitely felt slightly harder from sit, 6c maybe. nice little mono in the crack makes it a really interesting line, really enjoyed this problem, classic!!

easy 7a even when it was absolutely sopping wet

nice little problem, although the main pinch was a bit damp when i did it. sit start looks like it would add a few good moves in as well
