Can you tell us more about the ascents?
I worked Master key last week and sorted out my beta fairly quickly. After a couple of tries from the bottom I ripped two very deep, bloody splits in my tips. It’s been a week and they are healed and I was able to do it in 2 tries today. I then went over to Green Mamba and after sorting my beta I sent 2nd try from the start, maybe 20 minutes. Maybe 6 tries total when counting working moves.
