More New FA

Tomas on "Mammoth"

Went to Balingsta again with T. Conditions were totally ok in the morning and after setting up some "Myggspiraler" even the little critters were more or less under control.
Did "Mammoth" as a warm up which felt rather good and solid.. good start. Even made the FA of the "Ice Age" project...then the heat was on for the FA on "Ice Age assis"..first T and I both fell in the middle of it all T has the advantage of doing the start more easy. T got the FA on that .. and even though I thought I had nothing left and had a few more tries on the sit (without being able do hold on) I managed to pull through on my last try.. we think it´s about the same grade as "Mammoth assis".. ca. 7a+. T gave "Mammoth assis" some goes but had little power left, next time!

Me on "Ice Age"

New FA?

Did not feel like doing anything today as I have been running around "storkyrkan" the last few days fixing cables and test everything before the "famous" wedding. SO close on going indoors but decided to just give it a go for training purposes. Conditions were so-so as one key hold was in the sun most of the time. But managed to do "Mammoth assis",not sure about the grade but felt like 7a+/7b for me. Hard start, then 1, more or less, hard move before going up the top all the way. Took some time to get the start,still do not get it every go, then everything just went (actually temps were a bit lower then, no sun and a nice breeze had come up). Will see what repeaters will say, after having seen T on it I think its morpho due to the fact that the 1st move is easier when taller...maybe.Still gets 3 stars..has it all. Will try to get a picture next time...Now going for project "Ice Age" which for now feels a bit harder then "Mammoth assis". Then again had nothing to give after doing "assis" so who knows.
By the way....does anybody know where to get "myggspiraler"? Not really fun those pests....

Close on something

Had no chance on "Frankos" today at all,every move was hard. Repeated "Mammoth", also felt harder then last time (did it 1 move off assis). Very close to the assis, came to the 'home' hold, but not 'home' foothold.....buhh!
Also worked the 'Ice Age Project'...T nearly managed to do the stand start (ended up 'cheating' a bit in the end we thought), I was also close on that...will be cool to link it then with the assis. Cool..more projects.

Mozzy

Had more hopes on cooler weather today, but Balingsta turned out warmer then expected. Met up with T, B, and S... Both B and T repeated a variant of "Snakefarm" then started to also play on Frankos. Felt too warm and no real power on the problem and also believe that I can do it if I can get my head around to play along.
Then went down to the shade and home of the mozzys to try "Mammoth" again. T managed to day flash the thing while B and Me did it 2nd go. Nice problem, specially the finish. Then started on the sit start.. Easy for T (~1.90) but harder for me (1.80) until B pointed out another way to start.. after some tries it worked for me as well.. nobody did it from sit but makes this a 3 star problem. S also found/worked a problem trv. off to the right from "Mammoth".. hard.. add the sit start to that and one has a really nice line as well. More trips there then... even though cooler temps would really help.
