Well psyched to get that done. Easily the hardest thing I've been on and hopefully thats pretty much as hard as 8a's get! Keen for a look at Supercool over the next few weeks and also doing some climbing at other places!
Nice one!
Good work SpiderMonkey, wadded!
Very disappointing session. Only positive is that I've altered the starting sequence which cuts out 3 foot moves and maybe 3/4 secs.

With my current project, I suspect I am sadly now at the stage where there are no more worthwhile "cheap" gains to make (new links, improved sequences). The fun time of pure working goes is over; it's become a matter of just trying to do it... red-pointing with no real hope of red-pointing. Give it a few weeks and I will fantasize about having a new sequence to note down after a session!

so, Shark is both stronger and fasteronly a matter of time now
Pardon me as a sport climbing punter
Do you do any trad or sport?
