The Clarkshark, desperate for the coveted 5th
ascent of the Bath Shark, V8... |
Just in the last few days, the mornings have become crisp and I have shelved my harness in favor of my preferred crash pads. I've had my eye on a couple of really great lines in a newish area, but have been unable to really have a good go at either of them, mostly due to the stifling heat. The first is a pair of vertical seams that climbs with some really great slopey compression moves, with an unlikely dead point to finish. It took a few sessions to work out the crux, but when it came together, it felt pretty straight forward, symptomatic of first ascents I guess. It's called Twin Fin and is a grand line. The second is one of the coolest lines I have done in ages. 6 moves long, it has an awesome crux, a long dead point to a left hand crimp in a slot followed by a jump to a high side pull with the right. It's a total classic, called The Bakelight Concept and hopefully marks the beginning of a long, cold and dry bouldering season...
