You do it enough, you learn it really well.
This is so good.
Yeah, yeah, it's actually fun from the beginning to the end.
But it is that sort of a climb, I think.
If you're looking, like, sketching the moves,
you're probably not going to be able to link them.
Just super cool.
Oh, it's every time I'm like,
oh, maybe I could just do the move into this,
and I keep trying to do that.
I should just commit to taking the cut.
That was it.
That's feeling better, though.
It's flipping...
It's incredible.
This is session 10 of this trip.
I really expected not to get anyone here, though.
Oh, that was like the best feeling I've ever had.
No!
But I felt so good!
Oh!
Fuck!
Oh, I'm just climbing so badly today.
Damn.
And I was like, oh, should I do it?
I was doing that thing, like, move quickly
and just try and take it.
And I was like, no.
I could just feel it, like, coming out the whole time.
It's not going to work.
I think I need to do it right.
It feels so easy on the brush.
I can do it, and now it's just, like, feel it.
Take it.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Oui, all right.
No!
But I felt so good!
Well, I'm laughing.
Oh, no!
Oh, the foot just slipped.
That was such a good effort.
So literally, all I had to do was get that heel in,
and then, like, all of a sudden, you just relax out of it.
Come to a good edge, out to the good hold,
match in, get a little chill, shake out,
and then just along there and, like,
Shaun fell up there for sure.
Like, you could drop it quite easily, I think.
But Aidan made it look like about 6b,
so I'm hoping I'm going to feel like that, you know?
That's the dream.
Oh!
I can't believe that.
It's crazy.
It's my longest project now, like, boulder.
Yeah, longest boulder project probably by...
I don't know how many sessions I had last year, to be fair.
Maybe, like, three or something days we came here.
But it's kind of hard to count them
because I don't even remember most of them.
But this is session ten of this trip.
So in double digits.
I feel hecking good today.
Oh, man, I had, like, so much adrenaline going.
I don't know if I'm going to feel good at all anymore.
Pad it.
Feet at it.
Suss up.
See that?
You're bringing him forward.
Suss up, suss up.
Come on.
Ready?
Come on.
Suss up.
Come on.
And yeah, you can chill out on the undercoat.
What's the pinch?
This?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then do a spike.
Yeah, yeah.
And then walk your feet over there.
You've got loads of pad.
Yeah, sort of.
Whee!
Ha-ha!
Come on!
Hey!
Woo-hoo!
Hecking good effort there.
Bravo!
That was good.
Oh, man.
I'm, like, in complete disbelief.
Last session, I was like, man, this may be possible, but, like, it would be a complete
limit.
And then just, like, did not expect to get even, like, close to coming out to this today.
I was, like, being so slow up at the top.
Thank you.
Cheers.
That was good to watch.
Oh, man.
Like, I, like, got to this, and I was, like, could tell I was more tired.
When the heel toe didn't go in, and I was like, and then you had, like, a second wind,
and it started just creeping back in.
I know, because it was, like, I felt a bit more tired, and I was, like, going, and I
was, like, didn't quite get there.
I was, like, no, not today.
Come on!
It was, like, eh.
The flipping, it's incredible.
That's, I reckon that is, like, the most fun whole, like, from climbing it to the whole
process boulder I've, like, ever had.
That's exactly how I felt, like, I was just, like.
That's so good.
Yeah, yeah.
Because that, like.
It's just fun from beginning to end.
I did lie a little bit.
Good work.
Nice work.
Oh, yeah.
Nice work.
I feel...
Knocked out for a moment.
That was hard.
Good work.
Thank you.
Oh, good.
Flipping amazing, isn't it?
Yeah, it's a classic, I think.
Such a cool climb.
Yeah, the new shoe is the one.
Like, I felt, I didn't have as much feeling putting it on, but as soon as I rocked in,
I felt like I was just solid on it.
I was, like, when I got, like, and I stuck this, and I was, like, the foot's not going
anywhere, but I still didn't want to trust it, so I was, like, hit this, and it just,
like, kicked my feet off and held on.
Oh, that was sick.
And then the mantel's weird, because you don't go to any holes.
You're just on the corner.
You're just, like, lying down on the wall.
Oh, that's awesome.
Come on, Will.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Can you match?
Match?
Yes.
Change your foot.
Yeah.
It's good.
She's good.
Yeah.
Come on.
Wow.
Oh, there.
Woo.
Woo, woo, woo.
Nice one, Will.
Nice.
Sure.
