Ascents of Lipstick

Feels very hard for me

Another Alzheimer’s Onsight. Tried it back before I knew how to crack climb, and couldn’t make it to the anchor.

Coming back as a crack climber, after climbing the top like a crack, I discovered it’s easier to just layback it. Wish I realized BEFORE I struggled my way to the anchors.

Slipped out of the crack, oh well

2nd shot, fun jugging but got my knee stuck.

uh big move, but such a fun excursion!

Close for the onsite but no cigar 2nd shot mega classic line has a bit of everything!

Bit of everything! Roof jug hauling to dyno and jams for dessert. Use alpines as required or face the wrath of drag. 4th attempt across 2 sessions.

This climb has a bit of everything, beautiful jug hauling, a massive dyno, then a bit of hand jamming to the anchors! Definitely got shut down by the dyno but still had a blast.

Got halfway through the mega juggy roof. New techniques to learn. Use less arms

Linked up all the start and made it through the big dead point but worked the from the scoop up. Managed to nind a way to power up through the scoop but can't efficiently get through the rest of the crack to anchor. Very hot and humid day making the crack and sloppers up the top hard

An absolute hill gem!! Wouldn’t want to be much taller, only just fit in the kneebar. Second shot. Bring your thin hands jamming skills!

Ugh.

Could not do the crux. Went draw to draw. I'm a fat whale lol super cool line!

Literally pulling rope up to clip the anchor and fell

Couldn’t pull through the crack, rope drag killed all the fun

Cleaning off the spiderwebs and putting draws up, had to stop before the dyno due to massive rope drag from short draws, then seconded to clean due to low energy. Amazing climbing but need to remember to put long draws on and skip the problematic ones.

Great but so pumpy! Thanks Marty W for cleaning!

Had a play cleaning draws. Sick route !

Holy Moses that's good

Hard, big move. It'll go

Super super cool climb, worked out all the moves up to the crack

Climbed up to the dyno with 2 rests and realised I didn’t have enough draws to finish it

So many incredible moves and features packed into one climb. Juggy but pumpy climbing along roof features, a fun dyno across the blank section, then a rest before the final thin crack to the anchors. I've learnt my lesson from using tight kneebars in awkward positions. Might have to try the bathang rest next time.

If i were going to name this after something you'd find in a womans handbag, i would have called it dildo, because it sure fucked me. I have no idea how people make that span. Respect.

Being tall enough to do the dyno move statically was all good and well until I found I was too tall to get the much needed kneebar in the scoop straight after. Great route, just a bit of a logistical shitfight to work and clean
