Nice one. Next dream project?

In the same category ("sport trad"), I'd say the doors in cadarese. Not really harder for most people, but less my kind of effort (pumpy and sustained for 30 meters with one rest/shake. The one I did is two hard short sections with easier climbing in between)

Cheers all. Yes it was Call of Nature. It was the first 8a I ever tried back in 2012 but I couldn't link the 3 crux moves, tried it again in 2014 but could barely do any of the crux moves. This year I managed the crux link first session and then through the crux to top next session. Eventually took 4 redpointing sessions and around 20 falls from the final crux move so pretty chuffed to get it done before it became a siege.

Yaay! Sending!!  :punk:

Can't wait to get out on the rock and try to emulate some of your success! (Elusive 2nd 8a and one that's not Scotland's softest...)

Fuckin' hard crux for short folk that, get in. I've got a brand new pair of shoes put away for standing on those matchsticks when I ever get back on it.

Not sure if it was a winter's training or just a pair of Miuras that made the difference in the end.  Newish Katanas were ok but Solutions were totally useless on the matchsticks.

YYFY finally did Picnic Sarcastic! 4th session in five years. Was struggling with last couple of moves, put a new shoe on, tweaked some heel beta, bosh sent.

Don't fancy one of the linkups; credit for time served on Sufferance? Guess you could try them all and see which suits!

Great night out Aurora hunting, was up on Cairn o Mount until 2:30, it started getting light about 3. Likely to be it for the season until about September or so. Pics to follow.

Nice one beast. At this rate you might be able to crush something hard like The Mandala or something...
